Yelena Beriyeva, Piano Inspirations
Friday, October 25, 2024, 7:30 pm

Award winning pianist and CCM faculty member Yelena Beriyeva will perform Brahms’ introspective and penultimate piano work Klavierstücke, dedicated to Clara Schumann, followed by Debussy’s Estampes, “prints” inspired by sounds of the middle and far east. The program will conclude with Mussorgsky’s iconic Pictures at an Exhibition, a musical narration of the composer’s visit to an exhibit of artist Viktor Hartmann and depictions of his paintings.

Music & Identity
Friday, November 22, 7:30 pm

Why do you love the music that you do? Join guest speaker Susan Rogers, record producer for Prince and Barenaked Ladies, Berklee College of Music professor, and author of the book This is What it Sounds Like, as she guides us through what it means to be an active participant in our own listening experience. Uncover insights about your personal listening identity at this interactive event with CCM faculty artist performances.

Po’ Ramblin Boys
Saturday, January 25, 7:00 pm

With authenticity, the music of The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys cuts right through the noise of the world and speaks plainly to the soul. Formed in 2014 in the Smoky Mountains, they are ambassadors of their genre, bringing their music from rural bluegrass festival stages to the rock clubs of Europe, and now to Concord Conservatory.

Music & Rebels
Friday, February 7, 7:30 pm

Meet music history’s rebels and revolutionaries, from Monteverdi and Beethoven to our contemporaries and witness how, by breaking the rules, these composers changed the course of history. In honor of the 250th anniversary of Concord’s role in the American Revolution, the program will also feature the world premiere of Do Not Comply by local composer Aaron Jay Myers, commissioned by Concord Conservatory of Music.

Around Hear
Saturday, March – date to be announced soon

Explore music with all your senses. Families are invited to listen to chamber music, see images, and create their own floor art at this energetic concert adventure, from J.S. Bach to exoplanets to pigeons! The Somerville based chamber ensemble Around Hear will also perform works by Dvorak and local contemporary composers Mike Kelley and Daniel Sedgwick.

Southern Rail, A Bluegrass Concert
Saturday, April 26, 7:00 pm

Described by Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine as “on the cutting edge of creativity”, the award-winning bluegrass band Southern Rail returns to CCM with high energy exuberant fun and stunning harmonies, irrepressible good humor and sparkling banjo, guitar and mandolin.
