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. Our goal is to create informal, intimate experiences of great music and great musicians with our audience.
It’s an idea both simple and sophisticated: Why restrict quality music to the concert hall?
