The perfect pairing of music and history is coming to Plano with Yorkville Big Band’s concert on the lawn of Farnsworth House!

One of Mies van der Rohe’s most significant works, The Farnsworth House is internationally renowned as a site with tremendous importance in architectural history. The residence was constructed in 1951 and is notable for the contrast of its sleek modernity with its natural surroundings. This beautiful juxtaposition will provide the backdrop for the lively big band music of the 1940’s and 50’s.
