Join us at Big Bear Lodge in Brookline NH for Hejira as they kick off their first ever North American tour with us. The Andres Institute is proud to welcome Hejira: Celebrating Joni Mitchell for an unforgettable evening of live music — and a very special occasion. This is Hejira’s first ever US appearance, timed to mark the 50th anniversary of Joni Mitchell’s landmark 1976 album.

Formed in Oxford, UK and fronted by the remarkable vocalist Hattie Whitehead — winner of the Emerging Talent competition at Glastonbury Festival — Hejira brings together seven world-class musicians to celebrate Joni Mitchell’s richest creative period. Led and arranged by guitarist and composer Pete Oxley, the ensemble draws from the landmark albums Court and Spark, Hejira, and the iconic live recording Shadows and Light, with original arrangements that honor the spirit of Mitchell’s music while bringing something entirely their own. Their performances have sold out rooms across the UK and Ireland for three consecutive years, amassing over 1.5 million YouTube views worldwide. Now, for the first time, they bring that extraordinary music to America. This will no doubt be an intimate evening of music that will stay with you long after the last note.  

Concerts are upstairs at the AIA Welcome Center, on the Dream Trax Stage in Big Bear Lodge. The room is rustic with resonant acoustics. It features all table-seating with the audience limited to about 130 guests. Beverage service is available with donation requested. State Law does not permit us to allow alcoholic beverages into the facility. Food is available at many local eateries or bring in snacks from home or takeout. An elevator is available from the first floor AIA Gallery. Be sure to visit the Andres Institute of Art Gallery to learn about the history of the AIA and Potanipo hill or arrive early to hike the sculpture trails before the show.
