This coming week Plainville will hold an exciting residency in Plainville, MA, performing concerts as students paint what they hear! The members of Plainville will also work with local high-school jazz musicians, culminating in a concert at the town common at which Plainville and the students will perform while the artwork is on display. The residency was made possible with support from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and the Chamber Music America Endowment Fund.
A tour will surround the residency, beginning this Tuesday (9/20) in NY at NUBLU with Land of Leland, then hitting the road for concerts at UMass Dartmouth (9/22), Boston’s Lilypad (9/23), Northampton’s Dirty Truth (9/24), and a benefit concert in the Plainville, MA town park (9/25).
