Music That Brings Us Together
Music on Main has developed an international reputation as one of today’s leading-edge classical and contemporary music programmers. We create informal, intimate experiences filled with great music that connect musicians and audiences.
It’s an idea both simple and sophisticated: Why restrict quality music to the concert hall?
