NOI+F Open Masterclass with Alexander Kerr, violin

Alexander Kerr’s expressive and charismatic style has made him one of the most accomplished and versatile violinists on the international music scene today. In 1996 at the age of 26, Mr. Kerr was appointed to the prestigious position of Concertmaster of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. After nine successful years at that post, he left in June, 2006 to assume the endowed Linda and Jack Gill Chair in Music as Professor of Violin at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music.

Everything Must Show!

Welcome to a lottery where you can choose your own adventure and everyone wins! 

Join curator Amy Loko at MilkBoy ArtHouse for a special event where attendees can enter into a lottery for $29, $49, or $79 ticket. Everyone who buys a ticket will leave with a piece of work from a local artist (plus they'll also get a free glass of bubbly and a sticker). The catch is that you won't be able to select your art work until your name is called.

(un)choir

A new kind of choral experience: Learn your part and sing a song in harmony, all in one fun evening! (un)choir turns the tables on traditional choir. No auditions, no rehearsals, no long-term commitment - just show up and sing a song you love!

You will get a lyric sheet, then Allison Hughes, music director for College Park Chorale, will teach you 2 or 3 part harmony to a well-known song. To cap the evening off, you'll then sing your heart out with a choir of your new best friends!

This month's song is "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen.

Troilus and Cressida

The Maryland Shakespeare Players are back with a timeless tragedy about love and war. In the seventh year of the Trojan War, young couple Troilus and Cressida discover first romance and heartbreak against a background of Trojan debates over continuing the war. Meanwhile, Greek soldiers are losing morale without the leadership of their greatest warrior, Achilles, who resents the machinations of war and passes his days secluded with his lover, Patroclus. The play explores questions on life and death: how do you value a human life? Are wars worth their bloodshed?
