McDaniel College’s Gospel Choir performs traditional and contemporary gospel music with surprise selections, under the direction of senior adjunct lecturer Shelley Ensor.
One hundred years before Mozart and Beethoven, Vienna’s music scene was already on fire with stylus phantasticus, a genre combining Italian drama and Northern European formal complexity. ACRONYM, an “outstanding young early-music string ensemble” (The New Yorker), presents a feast of musical delights in the band’s Baltimore debut. ACRONYM’s 11 members perform on strings, violas da gamba, theorbo, and keyboards, bringing “gutsy, fresh explorations” (Early Music America) to these rare treasures.
PROGRAM:
Giovanni Valentini - Sonata a5 in C major

An die Musik Live is excited to present a new monthly series featuring Charlie Reichert Powell and New River!
New River weaves, molds objects, plants gardens. The trio's sound and approach is born from Charlie's love for structuring improvisation, puzzles, repetition, and the outdoors, and is nestled somewhere between John Coltrane, Tom Waits, and Ryoji Ikeda. Their debut album releases in late 2024.

RIGOLETTO
by G. Verdi
new English text by Bari Biern
December 11 & 12
Voted as audience choice for IN Series’ 2019-20 season, this circus version of RIGOLETTO, complete with a circus band and bawdy new text by Bari Biern, became a victim of COVID-19, but before that, victim to 19th-century censors that found its exploration of the misdeeds of the powerful too dangerous for the public eye.
Join the Air Legacy Trio and special guests for a night of music at An die Musik Live!
Marty Ehrlich - saxophones, flutes and percussion
Hilliard Greene - bass and percussion
