About the Concert

Our informal Saturday series that features Heifetz students, staff, and special guests on one-of-a-kind multi-genre mashups. On any night you might hear bluegrass picking, Broadway belting, folk fiddling, or rollicking rhythm and blues—fueled by local craft brews and food trucks—all under the supersized Heifetz tent.
