A mobile music venue that strengthens communities by redefining the concert experience.
Impassioned by their love for music and belief in its emotional power, pianists Nick Luby and Susan Zhang converted a 16-foot box truck into a fully functioning mobile concert hall, complete with lights, a sound system, and a piano. Their goal is to engage diverse communities and audiences nationwide with thoughtful, timely programming.
The Concert Truck has toured the country, presenting concerts in city streets, music and arts festivals, schools, neighborhoods, and parks ... anywhere you can park a truck. Nick, Susan, and the Truck have been featured by Voice of America – VOA, Minnesota Public Radio, the Washington Post, the Baltimore Sun, WYPR Maryland, and many local TV news stations, online publications, and syndicates.
In addition to sharing original programming with local communities, The Concert Truck strengthens relationships between arts organizations and the communities they serve. In the Fall 2020 season, The Concert Truck partnered with The Kennedy Center’s Washington National Opera, the University of South Carolina, the Southeastern Piano Festival, and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra to deliver great music to their local communities.
The Concert Truck also created an online children’s show in partnership with the Four Seasons Chamber Music Festival that has been presented to over 40,000 students in North Carolina schools. Other past presenters include Minnesota Public Radio and the Smithsonian.
