“Walt Michael has established himself as one of the most innovative and expressive of traditional musicians…” – Lincoln Center
Walt Michael

Common Ground on the Hill
Common Ground on the Hill was founded on the premise that there is a common human thread unifying all people expressed in our various artistic traditions. Our mission is to make this thread a path towards human understanding, tolerance, fulfillment, and enjoyment.
The embodiment of this path is a music and arts community where master musicians, artists, craftspeople, and creative thinkers will provide a quality learning experience for an audience which we will endeavor to increase in size, diversity, and influence. It is essential to the success of this mission that the artists, teachers, and students, reflect local, national, and international communities.
Enjoy our full Concessions Stand including candy, sodas, fresh popcorn and local beer and wine from Pipe the Side Brewery and City Park Gaming and Brew Room.
Our Holiday Traditions continue with great Family Events!
