<span class="s1"><b>Charlie Parker with Strings</b>, is a collaborative project with saxophonist <a href="http://www.vaughnambrose.com/" target="_blank">Vaughn Ambrose</a> that brings the music of this legendary recording to life and reunites listeners with such Standards as April In Paris, Summertime, Just Friends and They Can't Take That Away From Me. The recording fulfilled a long-held desire to record in a string setting, and used a classical string section and jazz rhythm section rather than Parker's usual bepop band. The two albums that results were his biggest hits during his lifetime and were admitted to the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1988.</span></div>

Join us for premieres of new music by terribly cool <a href="http://charliebarnett.com/" target="_blank">Charlie Barnett</a> featuring jazz clarinetist Ben Redwine. <br />
<br />
You can't beat old favorites so we're pairing this music with classics from the British repertoire (at last!) including Greensleeves, a traditional folk song and Simple Symphony by Benjamin Britten. Britten's music featured heavily in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu9ThJm5HGk&list=PLZ9vqWo2r7tSM5OSIoTIja9fqOYJ3IOzf&index=3" target="_blank">soundtrack to Moonrise Kingdom</a>.<br />
<br />
The concert is a <a href="https://www.google.com/maps?q=633+Sligo+Ave+Silver+Spring+MD+20910&z=15" target="_blank">gorgeous summer walk from Takoma Park and Silver Spring</a>. Your choices for before and after are endless...<br />
<br />
<span id="goog_732120262"></span><span id="goog_732120263"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a>Tickets are <a href="https://www.artful.ly/store/events/5481" target="_blank">$20 online</a> or $25 at the door. <br />

It doesn't seem two years ago that we were looking at our first concert. Thank you for your support over these years - we wouldn't be here without you!<br />
<br />
Please save the date <b>May 9 </b>and join us at the lovely Church of the Ascension on the Takoma Park/Silver Spring border to celebrate the last two years with a concert that really defines who we are.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTyckA3qcZ9TMpQ5MS4rjmZozugPBzOSVPV0OE5Au-1-WJlWJ2HWX_CcEMJ5Nr-MhkH0i_YGk1K2LHhvbUKhyphenhyphentVgdGKuc-J22OBiDVeAhNd_MN_q-DrEnuya3PZspAKpJVxhZTVqdOe0HK/s1600/AcensionTE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTyckA3qcZ9TMpQ5MS4rjmZozugPBzOSVPV0OE5Au-1-WJlWJ2HWX_CcEMJ5Nr-MhkH0i_YGk1K2LHhvbUKhyphenhyphentVgdGKuc-J22OBiDVeAhNd_MN_q-DrEnuya3PZspAKpJVxhZTVqdOe0HK/s1600/AcensionTE.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a><br />
In the first half, we will play some of the finest British music written for strings by Purcell, Vaughan Williams and Britten. In the second half, we will play some of the finest American music written for strings by <a href="http://charliebarnett.com/" target="_blank">Charlie Barnett</a>, composer and our very good friend. Some of you may remember we played some of his works in our first season. <br />
<br />
We will be joined by the amazing clarinetist <a href="http://www.redwinejazz.com/" target="_blank">Ben Redwine</a> for the premiere of a work written for us by Charlie.<br />
<br />
This auspicious occasion will close with a lovely reception after the concert to which the entire audience is invited.<br />
<br />
Our mission is to play music from 'dead white men to living chicks'. Well, the guys aren't quite chicks but they're definitely living. This promises to be a great concert so please do purchase tickets early if you can. We anticipate a crowd.<br />

We are so excited to have joined forces with the acclaimed National Philharmonic Singers to bring you holiday concerts guaranteed to get you and yours in the mood for the holidays.<br />
<br />
On the program is "Alleluia," by popular American composer Eric Whitacre, as well as Christmas classics by John Rutter and Shaw-Parker, "Christmas Day" by Gustav Holst, and the wonderful "Christmas Concerto" by Corelli.<br />
<br />
The concert concludes with favorite carols by the choir including "Stille Nacht" and the ever-popular "Carol Sing" with the Twelve Days of Christmas.<br />
<br />
You have two great opportunities to join us!<br />

The National Philharmonic Singers, conducted by Stan Engebretson and Victoria Gau, is a chamber choir and one of several performing ensembles of the National Philharmonic, which is in residence at the Music Center at Strathmore. As such, it promotes works suited for smaller ensembles, whether with accompaniment or a cappella. Its repertoire ranges from 15th to 21st centuries, and it often premieres new compositions by local composers.<br />
