Parlando on Pearl

Each fall, Parlando takes over the back patio of Trident Cafe for performances of any and all things pop music. Our 2024 event will take place on Sunday, 10/6, from 1-3pm, and this year, we’re adding a RAFFLE!

Commissioned Composer Project

This project connects students to the full artistic process-from the idea for a piece from its composition to its debut performance. Students have the opportunity to be the first person ever to perform their particular work, which is an incredibly empowering experience. We hope that anyone who participates in or encounters this project comes away feeling joy, wonder, excitement, and inspiration. We hope students, composers, and audiences walk away feeling hopeful about the future of classical music and inspired to go home and create something themselves!

Our 2024 New Works Performance took place on Friday, April 26, 2024, in the Grace Gamm Theatre at the Dairy Arts Center. Information about our 2025 project will be available in September of 2024.

Third Thursday

Every 3rd Thursday, we’re taking over the Dairy Lobby at 6:30pm! Join us for live music and snacks/drinks from the cafe! This event is totally free and open to all.
