Established in 2016, the art center presents concerts of classical music and exhibits large-scale contemporary outdoor sculptures.

[9] Tippet Rise shares similarities with large sculpture parks such as Storm King Art Center in New York and Gibbs Farm in New Zealand.

A contemporary innovation—a high ceiling suspended above the boxlike space—is said to lend an elevated, ethereal character to the resonant acoustics, but is designed to mimic the pitched roof of a traditional wood barn.

The building also houses Tippet Rise's visitor center, which includes a state-of-the-art recording room with 3D sound this summer and 4K high definition film projection capabilities.

[11] In January, 2019, Tippet Rise received LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for the Olivier Music Barn's environmentally sustainable design and systems, including low-carbon emissions and near-net-zero energy consumption.

Born in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Muzijevic studied piano with Vladimir Krpan at the Academy of Music in Zagreb.

He has played recitals at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall and Mostly Mozart Festival, 92Y and The Frick Collection in New York, Spoleto USA, and others.
