Join us for an intimate, one-of-a-kind concert featuring Apple Hill String Quartet, an internationally renowned chamber music ensemble, in MKIM’s Contemporary Gallery. "Apple Hill exists to perform, teach, and broaden the appreciation of chamber music—cultivating connection and understanding among people of diverse backgrounds, cultures, playing levels, and ages through music performance and education centered around the values of acceptance, inclusivity, creative expression, and encouragement.” That’s a perfect fit with MKIM’s culture!
There are 2 ticket types:
VIP: $80 includes a private reception at 12:45pm with refreshments, Q & A with a member of the quartet and preferred seating. General Admission: $40. Seating is limited; our last two Apple Hill concerts were fabulous and sold out very quickly. Tickets are available online at https://www.indianmuseum.org/buy-tickets or by calling (603) 456-2600. Tickets available at the door pending availability.
