Simple Gifts will bring folk music to the garden this summer, introducing us to at least 12 bluegrass instruments! A spoons-playing workshop will take place before the concert, and spoon players will be included in a concert song. Simple Gifts has played at major venues including the Smithsonian, National Theatre, Lincoln Theater, Bethel Woods, and Longwood Gardens. Their latest CD, “Journeys,” won a Global Music Award. Don’t miss this fun musical evening in the garden!

“Simple Gifts wowed our audience with a cultural and educational program that was fun, informative, and energetic.” – Teresia Bush, Smithsonian Institute
