Shakespeare in the Park.
Taylor Swift in Gillette Stadium.
Art Exhibits in Downcity streets.
And now, Music on the Hill brings chamber music to a brewery!
Chamber music venues are usually restricted to concert halls, churches, weddings, exclusive upscale shops, and expensive fundraisers.
Music on the Hill’s Artistic Director, John Pellegrino decided to think outside the proverbial box this year by moving two of their concerts from the traditional church sites to Linesider Brewing in East Greenwich.
The newly opened brewery proved to be a perfect location for the concerts, with one sellout and one near capacity.
Who would have thought that drinking beer and munching on food truck hot dogs and Thai noodles while listening to Mozart would be so popular?
We know that there were a number of first-timers to the music form because a number of them clapped between movements.
And that was O.K.
The musicians smiled, acknowledged the response and continued, playing before a backdrop of beer kegs, rather than stained glass windows.
