NSO in Your Neighborhood & Busboys and Poets present: From Across the Bridge
An artistic exchange will take place with The Last Stand Quartet, all NSO members, and the Drawbridge Collective.
The Drawbridge Collective members come from both spoken word and formal literary backgrounds, to create experiences imbued with dynamic performance and literary merit. Their stories, recollections, and carefully crafted responses, encompass the celebration of various cultural perspectives and unique identities. Come across this bridge of words and sounds, and witness a flame swell from the stage and into your hearts. Join us for a brilliant night of food, music, cultural and socio-political commentary through the art of poetry and classical compositions.
This event is open and free to the public. Full bar and food service will be available (vegetarian and vegan options are also available).
