Closing Night with Pianist Lara Downes

This concert is made possible through the generous support of the Bazarsky Family Foundation.

American pianist and cultural visionary Lara Downes returns to Newport after a sold-out performance on the 2021 Festival to present THIS LAND, a concert that captures 100 years of American transformation, celebrating the spirit of innovation and imagination, resilience, and resistance, and reflecting a wide diversity of voices to illustrate the beauty that grows at the crossroads of our American journeys.
