Music on Main is hosting A Month of Tuesdays, which brings four captivating concerts to the Fox Cabaret from April 7 to 28. Beginning at 7:30 pm, each performance offers an intimate and inspiring evening of music at the iconic venue.
Whether attending alone or with friends, the warm, casual atmosphere of the Fox makes it easy to meet new people, connect with the artists, and escape into the magic of music for an hour or two. Locals are invited to mark their calendars for a month of inspiring musical discoveries.
First up, step into the cinematic electro-pop universe of Ringdown on April 7. Caroline Shaw and Danni Lee Parpan’s music feels like calling your first love on a rotary telephone or pulling a record from a dusty bin somewhere between Brahms and Brandi Carlile. With soaring vocals and emotionally stirring lyrics, Ringdown’s live show is as immersive as it is electrifying.
On April 14, violist, composer, and performer Ryan Davis is bringing his boundary-crossing solo project Radia to the Fox. Blending classical virtuosity with the sonic worlds of electronic, folk, and hip hop, Davis reimagines the expressive possibilities of the viola through layered soundscapes, live performance, and original compositions. The result is music that feels intimate, rhythmic, and expansive.

A special evening on April 21 celebrates the groundbreaking work of Hildegard Westerkamp, a pioneering composer whose music transforms the act of listening. An ensemble of award-winning performers—pianist Rachel Kiyo Iwaasa, cellist Norman Adams, and recorder player–electronic musician Terri Hron—are bringing Westerkamp’s music to vivid life, weaving sound, space, and emotion into an unforgettable experience.
Closing the series on April 28 is Laura Bowler’s Deconstructing Pierrot; it is a bold response to Arnold Schoenberg’s celebrated Pierrot Lunaire, widely regarded as a masterpiece of musical Expressionism. In this new work, composer-vocalist-provocatrice Bowler takes Albert Giraud’s original poems and Schoenberg’s music and turns them inside out in an act of creative rebellion. New-music chamber ensemble Standing Wave is bringing Bowler’s vision to life with electrifying precision.
Guests must be 19 and up to attend A Month of Tuesdays. Tickets are available here.
