Riverfolk Music and Arts will present CutTime Simfonica in the third of their Blacksmith Shop concert series on Saturday, January 23 from 7:30 to 9 pm at Manchester’s historic and unique blacksmith shop located at 324 E Main St. Adult tickets are $20; student tickets (age 18 & under) are $10 — both include sampling of food and drinks provided by Manchester’s own Moveable Feast. Tickets are available HERE or at the door.

CutTime Simfonica is a small string ensemble with percussion known for “Americanizing classical music,” making it accessible for new audiences. The group began in 2010 within the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, when bassist Rick Robinson suddenly began composing dramatic, accessible, and sometimes pop-infused works. Their performances feature works by Mozart, Beethoven, Ellington, Robinson, and more!

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
