"Music for everyone, delivered to you"
Gather Hear Tour travels all around the country with a piano, performing classical music in places where it's not usually heard. Larema Beverage Company is pleased to welcome musicians Miki Sawada and Chris Thompson at 1121 Falls Road in Rocky Mount on Thursday, October 23 at 7 pm for a free public concert.
Their traveling show is unlike any other, combining classical piano music with spoken word and rap, audience participation, plus an original composition by Chris. Through music, Gather Hear seeks to connect with the people who call this land home, and find what we have in common as humans across the divides in this nation.
