Summer Concert Series: Cross Cultural Connections

Bird in Hand hosts Taylor Wang (Piano) and David Manzanares-Salguero (Guitar) to present a coffee house concert of classical works that explore works by composers who took inspiration from other pieces, other composers, and other cultures! Doors open at 5:45 for a 6:00 start. The concert takes place during our Happy Hour, where you can enjoy a dollar off our summer cocktail menu. Stop by just for a drink or stay the whole time!

In the spirit of cross-cultural connections, we will also have a feature display of all our favorite international cookbooks. You’ll definitely want to check it out!

This concert is free to attend, but a cash donation basket will be available at the door to directly support the artists.

RSVP Here!
