Family Performing Arts Series
Amber Brown Is Not a Crayon If You Give a Mouse a Cookie The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Junie B. Jones The dirty dog loved by generations will get dirty once again in a Sunday, April 15, staged production of the well-loved classic tale of the little white dog with black spots. After spending a day in the dirt, Harry turns into a black dog with white spots only to return home to a family that doesn't recognize him. Performing Arts Series The Baltimore Consort This sextet, set to perform on Friday, Jan. 26, specializes in the courtly and popular music of the 16th to 18th centuries, as well as traditional music rooted in earlier times. The variety of instruments on which they perform--including a lute, a viol, a cittern, a rebec, a crumhorn and a bandora--have delighted and educated audiences on both sides of the Atlantic, and they were recently named by Billboard Magazine as Top Classical Crossover Artist. Together since 1980, the ensemble has performed widely in the United States and abroad, as well as on syndicated radio broadcasts. Philadanco The acclaimed Philadelphia Dance Company (Philadanco) will perform Friday, Feb. 16. Held in high esteem both nationally and internationally, Philadanco is a nonprofit professional dance organization with a 35-year history rich in contemporary dance, choreography and training. The current troupe includes dancers who have traveled the world performing sold-out shows at venues as diverse as Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center and the American Dance Festival. Amadeus Trio This ensemble, set to perform Friday, March 9, occupies a position among the foremost piano trios in the world. The three artists, pianist Marian Hahn, violinist Timothy Baker and cellist Jeffrey Solow, are recognized for their musicianship and virtuosity. The trio has appeared at chamber music festivals throughout the United States and Europe and has given world premieres of three commissioned works. In recent seasons, Amadeus Trio has championed the music of Hispanic composers. Xiang Gao and Friends III
