Constellation Concert Series: Music in the Observatory
Event Date
Thurs., Oct. 10 | 7 - 10 p.m.
Experience live music under the stars in the State Museum's new Constellation Concerts event series
The State Museum invites guests to experience musicians and vocalists performing under the stars in a series of Constellation Concerts in the museum's observatory. Bluegrass outfit The Wilder Flower will kick off this new after-hours event on Thurs. Oct. 10. The group usually perform as a trio, but they will be a guitar and banjo duo on this evening.
In addition to enjoying the performance, guests can look through the observatory's historic 1926 Alvan Clark Telescope to view the night sky. Weather permitting, night sky objects such as the Moon and Saturn will be visible in the telescope.
Wine and beer will be available for purchase, with complimentary light snacks included.
About The Wilder Flower
The Wilder Flower blends Folk, Americana, Bluegrass, and Old-time influence into something new and fluid. They thrive vocally on three-part harmonies, whether a two-chord old-time ballad, or a modern, minor-filled melody, and instrumentally feature bluegrass banjo tunes, fiddle and clawhammer string-band songs, flatpicking guitar, and everything in between. Their unique sound is centered around original songs and tunes that are thoughtfully arranged and adapted to showcase their tasteful instrumental sensibilities. They flex between genres and writers in each song, but there is something to their collective taste that speaks the same language, though switching dialects.
