Meadowlark Atrium Spring Concert Series Announced

Vienna Botanical Gardens To Host Top Talent

The Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority (NVRPA) announced today that tickets were on sale for a spring concert series in April and May in the stunning glass “Atrium” at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, VA. The Atrium and the surrounding 95 acres of blooming botanical gardens will be the backdrop for some of the most popular musicians touring the area.

The Meadowlark Atrium Concert Series will begin April 12 with nationally known singer/songwriter and Virginia resident Ellis Paul. Known for his masterful songwriting, Ellis Paul stands out as a storyteller with captivating vocals.

Tickets for all shows are $15 in advance and can be reserved by calling 703-352-5900. Any unreserved seats will be available at the door on the evening of the performance for $18. Due to limited capacity, it is recommended that tickets be purchased in advance.

Vance Gilbert, will appear in the Atrium on April 19. Vance Gilbert burst onto the singer/songwriter scene in the early 90's when the buzz started spreading in the folk clubs of Boston about an ex-jazz singer who was knocking 'em dead at open mikes. His latest album “Unfamiliar Moon” finds Vance at the top of his songwriting game.

WAMMIE Award winners, Last Train Home, return to Northern Virginia and take the Atrium stage on May 10.

Finally, on May 24, Northern Virginia’s favorite son, Robbie Schaefer from Eddie From Ohio rounds out the lineup with a hometown show that is sure to be a fitting culmination for the series.

The “Atrium” at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens is resplendent with lush foliage, flowers, fountains and a meandering stream that brings outdoor garden beauty indoors and provides a unique, natural setting for a relaxing, mid-week evening.

“The Atrium will instantly become one of the most beautiful places to see live music in the area,” states event organizer, Mark Riddell. “It will be a real treat for concert goers to be able to experience the beauty of the gardens and then enjoy the great music in a comfortable, luxurious environment.”

All shows are general admission. Doors and the gardens open at 6pm with shows starting at 7:30pm. Food and beverages will be available for sale including wine tasting from some of your favorite Virginia wineries.
