Vigorous Tenderness: a fall equinox concert

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2026 from 5:30 pm-7pm

Old Town House Park, 470 Memorial Highway (Rt 9), North Yarmouth

Welcome fall with vibrant chamber music that connects new sounds, the environment, and the community.

Vigorous Tenderness is an immersive outdoor concert series that amplifies marginalized voices in classical music and democratizes new / experimental music. This fall equinox event resembles an art museum experience, with seven different chamber ensembles nestled in the landscape, playing continuously as the audience follows a path of listening and reflection.

People of all ages are welcome; this is a family friendly event.

Please arrive between 5:30 and 6:15 pm and move through the installation at your own pace.

Sliding scale donations are welcomed: suggested ticket price is $30 but please pay what you can based on need.

Cash and Venmo are accepted; everything goes to the musicians and to sustaining future concerts. Venmo: @VigorousTenderness

The rain date for this event is Wednesday, September 23rd from 5:30-7 pm.

Please bike or carpool; parking will be limited.

This concert involves moving over grassy and hard packed surfaces, navigating some wide flat trails, and visiting musical sites up to 0.5 miles from the parking lot. For more information, please reach out to vigorous.tenderness@gmail.com.
