Dresher Ensemble Studio ReOpening Fest

This ReOpening Fest showcases a vibrant mix of artists who have made our space their creative home through regular rehearsals, fiscal sponsorships, or as awardees of the Dresher Ensemble Artist Residency. Events will take place in the Dresher Ensemble Studio, the large lobby on the second floor, and an impromptu viewing theater on the loading dock.

Enjoy outstanding performances, great food, and fine wine [William Knuttel Winery] as we come together to honor the power of shared space and creative community.
