About this event

A contemporary program featuring horn, piano, and violin performing compositions spanning from the beautiful minimalism of Philip Glass to the edgy and evocative Gyorgi Ligeti, who rose to fame when his works were used in The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut, and 2001 A Space Odyssey. The venue is a cozy historic 1950’s TV studio with a winding maze of narrow hallways filled with art. Don’t miss it!

First Studio does not have a designated free parking lot. However, here is a list of suggested parking options:

1.    On the south side of McKinley between 1stAve and Central there is a pay lot with a QR code. The rate is $3 per hour, so the total cost of parking is around $6. This is the most convenient option. The small lot directly in front of the gallery entrance has the same QR code as well.

2.    As available, there is free parallel street parking on surrounding streets to the West, on McKinley and 2nd Ave.

3.    The Metro Light Rail has a stop at Van Buren just a few blocks to the South.
