Celebrate the reemergence of spring with chamber music by composers of color and queer composers connecting new sounds, the environment, and the community.

Vigorous Tenderness is an immersive outdoor concert series that amplifies marginalized voices in classical music and democratizes new / experimental music. This vernal equinox event resembles an art museum experience, with chamber music blooming throughout the landscape while the audience follows a path of listening and reflection.

Please arrive between 5:30 and 6:15pm and move through the installation at your own pace.
Sliding scale donations are welcomed: suggested ticket price is $25 but please pay what you can based on need. Cash and venmo are accepted; everything goes to the musicians and to sustaining future concerts. venmo: @VigorousTenderness
