Cocktails & Conversations

This Cocktails & Conversation is going to be a little different.

Less lecture. More real talk.

Join us as we ask: What is music really for? And what might “classical music” learn from today’s most powerful modern artists to evolve, adapt, and connect?

We’ll dive into Kendrick Lamar’s The Heart Part 5, talk about radical community-building, and maybe even revisit Hamilton… all to explore how music—any music—can create meaning, reflect values, and build community.

Heads up: This conversation gets personal, touches on heavy themes, and includes music with strong language (we’ll keep it mindful for the setting). But there’s a purpose behind every piece we share—and we’ll pull it all together by the end.

If you’ve ever felt like the “classical” concert experience is missing something—or wondered how we can make the symphony more connected to our community—this one’s for you.

Come for the cocktails, stay for the conversation. Let’s build something meaningful together.
