On Friday, July 18th at 7pm, we’re partnering with the Toiyabe Chamber Music Society to present The Bow and the Brush, a captivating and creative performance by internationally acclaimed violinist Dan Flanagan. In The Bow and the Brush, Dan plays original compositions for solo violin inspired by specific works of visual art, while projecting the artwork on screen and sharing the stories behind both the music and the paintings. Admission is a suggested donation of $5, and it promises to be one of the most engaging and artistic evenings of the summer
