About this event

The Tang Teaching Museum hosts a free, outdoor concert series on the grounds of the museum during the summer. Upbeat on the Roof highlights regional musical talent in an array of styles. For its first 19 years, the Upbeat series took place on the museum’s roof; however its popularity necessitated a move to a larger space. These events are free and open to the public. In the case of inclement weather the series is held inside the museum.
