Museum & Buildings
Trails and Grounds open daily sunrise to sunset.
Experience your museum in a new way, surrounded by art and nature and awash in music.
Join us in the Early American Art Gallery near Nari Ward’s We the People for a live musical performance featuring D. Riley Nicholson. Presented by Trillium Salon Series, Nicholson will be performing Mindful Minimal, featuring rarely heard 20th-century minimalist piano pieces utilizing the Van Cliburn piano.
Unlike a traditional setting, in which a performer is set apart up on stage, with an audience looking up to the spotlight, Trillium aims to let the audience become part of the experience.
Coming out of the concert hall and into the galleries, the performance features music inspired by works in the collection and the environment, creating what is truly music for everyone: music that helps us all and speaks to the human condition.
A one-of-a-kind performance, this evening of music promises to bring the energy of audience, musician, and place together in perfect harmony.
Free, no tickets required.
Trillium Salon Series redefines the live music experience to invite connection and build community. Founded in 2016 by Katy Henriksen and Glenn France, Trillium Salon Series began with the idea of producing house concerts for classical music and expanded to include experimental and avant garde sounds. The first took place in Katy’s living room with string players from Artosphere Festival Orchestra playing Mozart alongside Lady Gaga to equal verve. Past salons include a celebration of Florence Price chamber music at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, a night of 21st century classical music at 21c Museum Hotel Bentonville, a live improv scoring to F.W. Murnau’s silent film classic Nosferatu with Thought Form Collective, a community led installation of 1,000 origami cranes at Likewise Community in downtown Fayetteville, and a New Year’s Day Potluck celebration at Mount Sequoyah Center.
