Classical ROCKS!
January 6 - January 20, 2020
It’s no secret that many contemporary songwriters borrow ideas from Classical music when plying their trade. This fascinating concert explores the connections between Popular songs and the Classical counterparts. With a full orchestra, virtuoso soloists, and fabulous contemporary vocalists, this program evokes a deeper appreciation for the interplay of musical genres.
The Bashevis Singers
January 27 - February 10, 2020
Let this amazing group from Australia (of all places!) show you how and why Yiddish is alive and well. Their mission is to advance Jewish culture for a new generation; but beyond that, they just make great music. You certainly don’t need to be Jewish to love their unique blend of traditional and original Yiddish tunes (translations via subtitles) and plenty of American popular music, performed Bashevis-style!
Forever Soul
February 17 - March 2, 2020
A terrific instrumental ensemble backs authentic Soul singers with powerful voices. Like Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Donny Hathaway, Al Green, and Beyoncé, Soul singers often cite their time as youths, singing in gospel choirs as their proving ground. This concert puts the music of those icons, as well as many others, front and center in a heartfelt tribute to that distinctive style.

March 9 - March 23, 2020
