The Concert Truck

Launched in 2016 and now rolling into Durham, this unique initiative is redefining live music access. At its core is a standard 16-foot box truck, brilliantly transformed into a fully equipped, mobile concert hall, complete with professional sound, lighting, and a grand piano. The Concert Truck will deliver world-class artists and exceptional musical performances to thousands of students and community members in its week-long residency.

By bringing the arts to schools, we are expanding the stage beyond our historic walls, strengthening community connections, inspiring new audiences, and demonstrating that the joy of live music can thrive anywhere a truck can park.

The Concert Truck will visit six Durham Public Schools.

• Monday, September 14 at Southwest Elementary School
• Tuesday, September 15 at Hope Valley Elementary School
• Wednesday, September 16 at Easley Elementary and School for Creative Studies
• Thursday, September 17 at Holt Elementary School
