You can come back the next day, on May 31, to see Fleetwood Macked, a group that takes the heart, soul, and style of Fleetwood Mac to the stage for a legendary experience.
52 Sumner will also be hosting several other events earlier in the month. On May 8, the Springfield Preservation Trust Awards will be hosted at the venue, recognizing individuals and organizations that work to preserve the architecture and culture of the city.
On May 18, the Champlain Trio featuring Springfield Symphony Orchestra cellist Emily Taubl will perform a selection of classical and contemporary chamber music. This stirring program is sure to provide a unique experience that will not be something to miss.
Formerly a portion of Faith United Church, 52 Sumner is located in the heart of Forest Park in a renovated 125-year-old historic landmark. Since late 2023, it has now been a beacon of music and culture for the Springfield community.
