Tuesday, January 14 at 6:00 p.m. at Maple Hall, 414 S. Gay Street
We’ll ring in the new year with a public conversation with our old friend Alan Sims, of the popular “Inside of Knoxville” blog, about downtown’s progress, with slides, with special attention to our upcoming Walking Musical Guide, in which we hope to show what classic opera, country music’s live-audience days, and the extraordinary Big Ears festival have in common. Free program. Food and drinks available for purchase.
