Still reeling with gratitude from an action-packed residency of music-making, youth workshops, and new partnerships featuring new music superstars NOW Ensemble. Their community work culminated in a show at Chamber @ TheDrake, a vibrant new series in Amherst, plus a show at The Flynn in Burlington, presented by TURNmusic.

As we continue to stay present, to witness, and to take action wherever possible during this time of multi-pronged attack on human rights, it’s the building & making & connecting & feeling & responding & expressing & being our most human selves that will help us help each other get through. The act of reaching out or showing up have never been more powerful. Let’s keep focusing on a better future. Let’s keep caring about each other.

This residency was an exciting prototype for programmatic expansion, as Antenna Cloud Farm continues our core path of slow-but-steady growth and mycelial machinations. Thanks to everyone who so readily responded and showed up with us in community!

Due to predicted rain, Majel’s show will be moved to ACF’s indoor venue, with no change in date or time. Anju’s show on Sunday at 3 pm will remain as is.

For both shows: tickets at the door will remain available until the show sells out. In the event of a sold-out concert, the ACF website will be updated, and non-ticket-holding guests will be welcome to bring lawn chairs and enjoy the concert from outside the venue windows for pay-as-you-wish.

We encourage you to arrive early, enjoy the hilltop, bring a picnic if it’s not yet raining (grounds will now be open 90 min. before each concert to allow guests more time to enjoy the scenery) and plan to stay for a reception featuring goodies from  ,  , , and  !

It’s often ahead of rain or inclement weather that the skies here are absolutely the most beautiful, interesting, and inspiring — qualities that the music will most definitely share! We look forward to spending a magical musical evening with you, courtesy of and on Saturday, followed by   ,   , and  on Sunday.

See you soon!

“Sanctuary and diaspora are the bones of Anju’s music.” -Stephanie Fernández, TIDES Magazine

We are thrilled to welcome Anju to Antenna Cloud Farm’s indoor stage in Gill, MA, for an intimate afternoon of soul-stirring, beautifully vulnerable original works. A prolific songwriter, Anju explores themes of belonging and ancestral connectivity, and the roles that the natural world can play when one is moving through interpersonal hardship or fragmentation. ⛰️🌊🌞

is joined by distinguished bassist/vocalist and world-class pianist
