Local artisan Scott Laumann has converted the performance space, allowing the music to highlight the art installation. Performers are violinist Christopher Grano, cellist Sara Hoskins, pennywhistle player Veronica Patterson, harpist Emily Smith, violist Scott Stewart, and percussionist Shilo Stroman. There will be a spoken word segment to the performance as well.
