“If constellations had been named in the 20th century, I suppose we would see bicycles.”

-Carl Sagan

The Trustees are excited to announce a unique partnership that celebrates nature, biking, and music! What could be better?

Since 2017, singer songwriter Peter Mulvey has had at least one tour exclusively via bicycle each year. The goal?  He wanted to change the nature of what it meant to be a touring musician for himself.  The decades of gas guzzling human-transport measures he had to interact with annually became a dilemma for Peter in sharing his art.  In turn, he decided to make it his mission to have at least one tour a year to be traveled by human-power and found solace in doing so as he was already an avid cyclist. 

Since its inception, Peter has pedaled to hundreds of gigs and across thousands of miles.  He’s toured via bicycle along the west coast, southwest states, mountain states, the Midwest and the NE. This year, he will be touring exclusively with the Trustees, at five diverse properties across the Commonwealth. We encourage visitors to bicycle to the performance and experience the beauty of fall in New England.

On Sunday, September 10, we are thrilled to host Peter for a special performance at deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum. This concert takes place on Linda’s Lawn so bring your chairs and blankets. If it rains, this concert will take place in the Dewey Family Hall located on the third floor of the deCordova Museum. Enter through the main museum entrance and staff will greet and direct you.
