Discover Music on Main with a 'Month of Tuesdays' at the Fox Cabaret (CONTEST)

A weekly concert series happening all month long is coming to The Fox Cabaret this April.

A veritable playground of music variety, the series features everything from solo percussion to baroque cello, from genre-bending compositions to Bach, from on-the-rise musicians to legendary composers.

For those unfamiliar with Music on Main, the “Month of Tuesdays” is the perfect opportunity to become acquainted with everything the series has to offer.

At a Music on Main concert, there’s always great musicians and interesting, engaging music.

But beyond just the tunes and performances, there’s the chance to make new friends, meet the artists, and escape from your to-do list for an hour or two.

Bring friends or arrive solo – either way, you won’t want to miss the top-flight musicians, great music, and casual, yet engaging atmosphere.
