Event Description
Listening together has always been Music on Main’s deepest purpose, and continues to drive all that we do. The shared music and art experiences throughout the past year have become a beacon of light for human connection between listeners and creators.
Celebrate Music on Main’s 15th season with great music, top-flight artists, and sounds you may have never heard before. We’re inviting you to listen together, no matter where you are in the world, to five days of special online performances, artist talks, and opportunities to learn about music.
Performances range from the accessibly eclectic percussion duo Infamy Too! (Aaron Graham and Julia Chien), to the soul-stirring folksong melodies of Dálava (Julia Ulehla and Aram Bajakian), and rising star violinist, Chloe Kim. Mark Takeshi McGregor returns to Music on Main with electro-acoustic hybrid sounds through his performance of James O’Callaghan’s “Doubt is a way of knowing”. Invite Jonathan Lo‘s cello performances to fill your room as he effortlessly masters Benjamin Britten‘s “Ciaccona” and Giuseppe Colombi‘s “Chiaccona a Basso solo”. Witness Rachel Kiyo Iwaasa’s quiet profondity as she performs Rodney Sharman’s “Opera Transcriptions” and describes listening as “one of the ways of being fully present in the world.” And discover Saina Khaledi’s “Mystery of Love” from Music on Main’s celebrated production As dreams are made.
Experience moments of exuberant music that will fill your ears, then let the more intimate works of the artists take you on a personal journey, and ask yourself “what’s going to come next?”
