so, you may be wondering...why the change in venue? Glad you asked!

Change is good, right? of course! This summer, our concert series will continue to be outside (as long as the weather behaves) but has moved just a few blocks away from our previous location of the Hanover Arts and Activities Center, to just in front of the Blackwell Auditorium on the grounds of  Randolph-Macon College.

We have been honored to share the lawn with The Center for the past eight years and have had many wonderful evenings under the stars. We are more than grateful to have been able to "borrow" the lawn on Sunday evenings and use the building to host our musicians, feed them and store equipment. Thank you Hanover Arts and Activities Center so much!

The decision to move locations has followed many discussions with Bluemont staff, The Center, the Town of Ashland and Randolph-Macon College and certainly was not an easy one.  By changing location, our concerts can be held on the front steps of the auditorium, eliminating the need for weekly set up and take down of the large tent and stage, port-o-potties (whew!) and will provide quick access to our rain location which happens to be the auditorium, just behind the steps. How easy is that?!

So, come on over to Blackwell Auditorium, on the campus of Randolph-Macon College and enjoy some music under the starts each Sunday evening in August. You'll still find some grass for your dancing toes and now a hard surface if you'd prefer to pop your chair there.
See you soon!
