After experiencing a year they describe as “challenging, exhausting and important,” the owners of Antenna Cloud Farm are happy to announce their return with an exciting musical lineup for 2021. In case you are not familiar with Antenna Cloud Farm, it is a multi-genre music festival and artists’ retreat located on a beautiful, 100-acre hilltop former dairy farm in the town of Gill.
Launched in 2017 by composer Judd Greenstein and his wife, Juilliard-trained violinist and composer Michi Wiancko, the farm has hosted some dazzling performances over the years. The music they present is often described as “cutting edge” and “innovative,” words that aptly describe the upcoming lineup. However, this year will see far fewer shows than previous years.
TURNERS FALLS Musica Franklin is offering a celebratory return to in-person public programming with a free Community Night showcase of student and faculty talent on Thursday, June 3, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in Peskeumskut Park. According to a press.
