The Artosphere Festival Orchestra will go “Off the Grid,” leaving the concert hall to perform in several locations around the Dickson Street entertainment district on Thursday, June 21.

The musicians are expected to play “everything from Bach to Beyoncé” while traveling from place to place surprising patrons at each stop. The evening will wrap with a grand finale concert when the ensembles will gather together alongside Maestro Corrado Rovaris at Smoke & Barrel Tavern.

Other Off the Grid performances are scheduled in Springdale and Siloam Springs on Friday.

The event is part of the Walton Arts Center’s 2018 Artosphere Festival, which began June 10 and concludes on Saturday (June 23). The annual festival celebrates art, music and nature with performances, activities and other family-friendly events.
