Khani Cole

Khani Cole plays the Musical Instrument Museum on Saturday, October 31, at 7:30 PM. The show is at the MIM Music Theater, the museum's dedicated performance space in Phoenix.

Cole is a singer-songwriter, and the night is built around her set. It's part of the museum's ongoing concert series, which brings in live acts throughout the year. If you're not already familiar with the venue, the Musical Instrument Museum is more than just a concert hall—it's a global collection of instruments, history, and culture, with galleries that hold thousands of pieces from all over the world. The concert series is one of the ways they keep that collection active, putting live music on the same schedule as their other programming.

That programming runs across a few different tracks. There are the MIMkids Mini Music Makers classes for younger audiences, and then there's the museum's signature exhibit, Unearthed Musical Masterpieces from the Southern Kingdoms of Ancient China, a collection of ancient Chinese instruments on display. Cole's performance sits alongside those, part of the same calendar that balances live shows, kids' classes, and the permanent galleries.

So, the details: Khani Cole at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix on Saturday, October 31, starting at 7:30 PM.
