Music grows here in all directions. Sit on the grass for a summer concert, take in free chamber music at a college, or climb the stairs of a local barn to hear stellar singer/songwriters perform in a hayloft. Check our calendar for upcoming concerts.

MASS MoCA brings national and international musicians year-round and North Adams fills up for Wilco’s bi-annual Solid Sound Festival, Bang on a Can’s contemporary music and FreshGrass’s boundary-pushing bluegrass.
During the semester, Williams College holds recitals and performances from Indian classical music to original blues opera, and Bennington college hosts a global contemporary concert series.
Stages from Bennington College to the Clark Art Institute to Hancock Shaker Village draw in music from around the globe, from Venezuelan percussion to chamber music.
