The New Music Agency
First Friday Gallery Walk Soundcheck Concerts
Friday, September 2 and Friday, October 7
Friday, January 6
Old City Hall Building, 10th and O Street
6:30 p.m.
Free to the Public



Members of the New Music Agency will be holding court in the Old City Hall Building, 10th and O Street, during the First Friday Gallery Walks on Friday, Sept. 2 and Friday, Oct 7 and Jan 6.  Music and refreshments will be served beginning at 6:30 p.m. both evenings. Short samplers of the Agency's literature will run from 30-45 minutes.

The Agency (believing that music is, after all, art) feel that new and recent works of music should have the chance to be exhibited along with new pieces of visual art during the Gallery Walks.

The Old City Hall Building - in close proximity to many galleries - is a unique, resonant space, with loads of history.  Deb Weber, Executive Director of the Lincoln Arts Council and the Council's Executive Committee graciously offered their space to the Agency for short performances.  Many thanks for their hospitality!

The New Music Agency and the Lincoln Arts Council also hope that other performing groups will use this convenient space during future First Fridays.

Musicians exhibiting musical art on Sept 2:  Betsy Bobenhouse, Diana Frazier, Karen Sandene.
On Oct 7:  Betsy Bobenhouse, Joe Holmquist, Karen Sandene.
On Jan 6:  Betsy Bobenhouse, Jessica Lindsey, Karen Sandene.
