Cancelled: String Theory at the Hunter

EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT 3.13.2020

In response to concerns around COVID-19, and in an effort to prioritize the health and safety of staff, visitors, and our community, the Hunter Museum has temporarily closed to the public and has cancelled or postponed our scheduled public programs until further notice. For more information, please visit http://stringtheorymusic.org/ for more information.

 

Music is the universal language… it brings people together.” —- Ella Fitzgerald

 

As part of social distancing, String Theory will be offering you a series of “mini-concerts” from their archives and other resources to enjoy from the comfort of your own home.

 

The first one is a much-loved performance from our 10th Season, featuring Wu Han and Gloria Chien.
