Shalin Liu
Rockport
There are two major reasons to attend a show at the Shalin Liu. First, is the music, an eclectic schedule of performances ranging from classical quartets to bluegrass to American Idol winners. Second, is the sheer beauty of the space, where soaring, wood-beamed ceilings, stone facings, and stunning coastline views create an unbeatable experience that merges music and nature.
