The show runs through July 5th. Tickets are available here.
Sunday afternoon the Hill Center presents World on a String, a cross cultural concert featuring Master Musicians, GRAMMY®–nominated hip-hop artist Christylez Bacon, GRAMMY®–nominated Swedish fiddle player Andrea Hoag, Hindustani classical violinist Nistha Raj, Afro-Cuban percussionist Felix Contreras, GRAMMY®–nominated Native American cellist, vocalist, and improvisor Dawn Avery, and medieval viol player Tina Chancey. These are all highly accomplished artists and we’ve hosted several at the Atlas so I am fairly certain it will be awesome. The concert is free and begins at 4pm. More information can be found here.
