Ms. Anderson is a musician and performance and visual artist. Mr. McBride is a Grammy-winner whose career includes performances with small ensembles and big bands. Mr. Kodheli is a musician and composer whose music blends rock, jazz and classical influences. His collaborations include work with Philip Glass, Meredith Monk, Joan Jett, Tom Harrell, and Snoop Dogg along with previous work with Mr. McBride and Ms. Anderson.

The concert will be held at 8 p.m. in Guild Hall's outdoor theater, which is set up in its rear garden.
