All American Summer Music Series at the Hunter Museum
Posted by Charles Rash on Fri, Jul 01, 2011 @ 07:51 AM
The Hunter Museum of American Art's "All American Summer Music Series" will take place every Thursday evening at 6pm through August 4th on the Hunter's terrace, a covered outdoor band shell overlooking the Tennessee River and Walnut Street Bridge. The series will also include two Sunday concerts at 1 p.m. during the museum's "Free First Sunday" program, which offers free admission to the museum and events scheduled on the first Sunday of each month.
This is the fourth season for the music series, and Causey said it has been specially programmed in honor of the current Between the States civil war photography exhibition, with a heavier focus on traditional regional music.
