SUMMARY:Music from Maryland Traditions and Annapolis’ Tuesday Club
DESCRIPTION:Local celebrities in Irish music–Peter Brice on button accordion\, Tess Hartis on fiddle\, and guest pianist Donna Long– are featured in a concert of 18th and 19th century music from Maryland and Ireland. The concert will highlight minutes from the manuscript of Annapolis dancing master John Ormsby who taught dancing here in the 1750s. Also featured is music from Annapolis’ Tuesday Club\, a colonial gentleman’s club. Though dance had always been a popular form of entertainment in America and Europe\, dance masters like Ormsby heightened the trend through private and public instruction.  This evening’s program is inspired by the research of former United States Naval Academy musician John Barry Tally who wrote Secular Music in Colonial Annapolis: The Tuesday Club 1745-56. \nPeter and Tess perform regularly as “The Livebox\,” and focus on the revival of traditional music from Maryland\, restoring its links to ancient traditions in Ireland and Scotland\, while identifying and demonstrating the mutations in popular American music movements.

SUMMARY:Maryland Hall Presents: An Evening with Branford Marsalis
DESCRIPTION:Saxophonist Branford Marsalis is a legend in motion. An NEA Jazz Master\, Grammy Award winner\, and Tony and EMMY nominee\, Marsalis has spent decades redefining the boundaries of jazz — from symphony stages to jam sessions with the Grateful Dead. But at the core of his world lies the Branford Marsalis Quartet: a powerhouse ensemble celebrated for its precision\, depth\, and daring musicality. \nWith over 30 years of synergy and nearly no lineup changes\, the Quartet commands the stage with original compositions and masterful interpretations of jazz and pop classics. Their latest release\, Belonging (Blue Note Records)\, reimagines Keith Jarrett’s iconic 1974 album with bold emotion and brilliance. As The New York Times praised\, it’s “a performance that both honors and amplifies.” \nExpect an evening that’s intimate\, explosive\, cerebral — and unforgettable.

His Second Piano Concerto expresses a wide range of emotions\, from passionate intensity to melancholic longing\, often reflecting the composer’s own personal experiences. The melody in the second movement inspired Eric Carmen’s bestselling tune “All By Myself.” \nOlga Kern\, renowned for her technical skill and musicality\, returns to the ASO  on stage at Maryland Hall in Annapolis and at Music Center at Strathmore in Bethesda to perform one of the greatest and most beloved works in the piano repertoire. Kern’s artistry embodies the technical brilliance\, bold expression\, and emotional depth that define Rachmaninoff’s style. \nThe evening begins with Silvestre Revueltas’ Janitzio\, an energetic and colorful orchestral piece inspired by the rhythms and folk traditions of Mexico. Evoking the lively spirit of the island town for which it is named\, Janitzio is a vibrant celebration of culture and movement. \nClosing the program is William Dawson’s Negro Folk Symphony\, a powerful and richly orchestrated work that draws on African American spirituals and folk melodies. Dawson’s symphony masterfully weaves traditional themes into a sweeping\, symphonic form\, offering a profound and moving reflection on heritage and resilience. \nOlga Kern photo credit: Chris Lee \nSponsored by The Peter Evans Group.
