Visual and performing arts collide during First Friday Art Walk when Classical Uprising fills the PMA galleries with a musical adventure. You determine which way to go and what to hear in this musical labyrinth, but beware of pop-up partitas, surprise suites, and singing sirens. Featuring performances by ChamberQUEER and Oratorio Chorale. 

This event is free and open to the public as part of the PMA’s Free Fridays.

This event is part of Classical Uprising’s Messiah Multiplied concert series. For a listing of all related events, visit https://www.classicaluprising.org/upcoming-events.
