The Colonial will present Biribá Union, a trio featuring cellist and vocalist Mike Block, hip-hop artist Christylez Bacon, and bassist and vocalist Patricia Ligia.

The engagement will include an open rehearsal for Keene State College and Keene High School string students, a meet-and-greet and Q&A with the artists, regional radio interviews, and a post-show reception and audience conversation.
