“Coming to the Music Hall with it’s wooden floors, candle lit tables and view of the lake—  often lit with the glow of another stunning sunset— makes for a warm and welcoming experience, especially in the company of community who values a listening room environment.  The genre varies—  bluegrass, jazz, Celtic, world; even mime.  But the commitment to excellence is always there and the audience often “trusts” they’ll have a good time, even if they are unfamiliar with the group or type of music.”
