Miller Theatre Announces Extension of LIVE FROM COLUMBIA With Concerts From Attacca Quartet & Regional de NY

Miller Theatre's celebrated, fun and free Pop-Up Concerts resume, with a change of venue. Filmed live in the awe-inspiring Lantern-the top floor venue in the Lenfest Center for the Arts-Miller invites the public to take a virtual front-row seat for performances by world-class musicians. Miller brings Columbia to audiences around the world through these unique digital concert experiences showing the breadth of Miller's programming, while highlighting the iconic beauty of the campus of Columbia University.

In previous Pop-Up Concerts, audiences sat on the Miller stage and enjoyed a free drink during hour-long weeknight concerts, mingling with the musicians and fellow concertgoers after the show. While this season's iteration features a change in setting, it offers the same up-close opportunity to experience music-virtually.

Viewers can tune in to millertheatre.com/live-from-columbia to watch and learn more.
