2021-2022 PERFORMANCE SEASON
MOIPEI
Friday, May 6th, 2022 (21-22 Season)
Mary, Maggy, Marta, from Nairobi, Kenya, present a program that is as unique as their talents. They interpret some well-known selections from the American Songbook and dazzle with their illuminating take on Broadway, new and old. Throw in a dash of Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman to swing, a flash of pop to provoke, then cash it all in with some gospel for salvation, add a traditional Swahili children’s song to bring it all back home. The exceptional talents of these three sisters blend these music genres to create an amazing, fulfilling and entertaining evening.
MAX HATT/EDDA GLASS
Saturday, March 25th, 2022 (21-22 Season)
Max Hatt / Edda Glass have “an incomparable spook” and a “unique sound” (Nashville Scene and NPR’s Larry Groce). Their award-winning original music and mesmerizing reinventions of the Great American Songbook create a swoon-inducing soundscape of voice and guitar that is both epic and intimate, making one feel “both lost and found, all at once” (New York Theater Guide). If we live in uneasy times, this music is both a reflection and antidote, an escape that is really a healing-in-place. As heard on NPR, PBS, NYC’s Lincoln Center, DC’s Kennedy Center, and the Sundance Film Festival.
