Nightnotes Series
Since its introduction over 30 years ago, the Nightnotes series has solidified itself as a fan-favorite experience. Hosted in the cozy and casual atmosphere of Birmingham’s Hagopian World of Rugs, each concert is curated by the artist with their peers, showcasing the music they personally enjoy. The full Nightnotes experience features a pre-concert reception, an engaging and conversational performance, and the opportunity to mingle with the artists after the concert.
The Nightnotes series is sponsored by Hagopian.
