Back by popular demand, Pocket Concerts are personalized
micro-concerts that pair one musician (occasionally two) with an individual or small group audience
for an engaging performance experience. Pocket Concerts will feature musicians from the Newport String Quartet,
NSP’s resident ensemble, as well as phenomenal guest artists from throughout New England.
Audiences will enjoy 15-minute concerts in the atmospheric surrounds of Vernon House and the Newport Art Museum.
This event is generously supported by the Arts and Cultural Alliance of Newport County.
