Description

TOURISTS welcomes pianist Miki Sawada to North Adams as part of her 2021 Massachusetts Gather Hear tour. Award-winning classical pianist Miki Sawada will perform on the wooded campus of TOURISTS in a special outdoor, socially distanced event. Admission is free, but capacity is limited by state Covid regulations. ADVANCE RESERVATIONS REQUIRED. Additional performance details will be sent to reserved ticket holders. Gather Hear asks us to ponder the elements of live classical music - the power to connect everyone that is hearing together, gently but insistently encouraging us to listen deeply, moving us through our emotions and senses, helping us find our humanity in the process. Miki states: "Why should this magical power be constrained only to concert halls? By keeping the music in concert halls for the sake of acoustics and tradition, it seems to be excluding a lot of people. I started fantasizing what would happen if I drove around with a piano in a van, placing classical music in spaces that people love to hang out in, curating it in such a way that everyone had an entry point into this complex but beautiful music, and doing it all around the country as a tool to get to know people and places I may never get to know otherwise."
