"Now This is Barnstorming"

Tuesday, June 6, 2017

On Saturday, May 27, 2017, the New York Times Arts Section featured Yellow Barn Music Haul with a banner headline and a half-page spread during "Music No Boundaries: NYC". Between May 24 and June 1 over 80 Yellow Barn musicians donated performances for 20 concerts across four boroughs of the city.

NOW THIS IS BARNSTORMING
Bach out of the back of a converted U-Haul: That's the idea behind Yellow Barn Music Haul, the let's-put-on-a-show mobile unit of Yellow Barn, a chamber-music center based in Putney, Vt. Through Thursday, the truck is trundling around New York, with over 80 musicians (including the violinist Alexi Kenney, shown here on Friday morning in Chelsea) deployed for 20 outdoor performances. The programs are all different, ranging over Beethoven, Bloch, Britten and Berio; Sciarrino rubs elbows with Paganini. The full schedule is at musichaul.org.
