One to One: Micro Concerts for All

On Saturday, September 24th, our Newport neighborhood resonated with music as melodies echoed throughout the vibrant galleries of the Newport Art Museum, the stunning Baptist Meeting House at the Newport Historical Society, the dynamic studios of Downtown Designs, and the delightful Newport Performing Arts Center. Over the course of one day, 12 musicians performed 54 micro concerts for over 70 guests, many of whom attended two and even three performances. Thank you to all of the audience members, musicians, and community partners who helped make this such a special day.

Here are a few reflections audience members shared about their experiences:

"This was the best 15 minutes of my day!"

"The music makes the museum come alive."

“Covid took so many things away but it gave us this [One to One]” - audience member who has been to One to One several times.

“Went to a wonderful 20 minute micro concert at NSP at NPAC today. Obviously not in the main auditorium, which is still under renovation. But another part of the building which, also, was under construction. But it was wonderful to have the dichotomy of beautiful string music and a feeling of “Should I be wearing a hard hat?” Would recommend!”
