Enjoy an afternoon at the historic Page-Walker Arts & History Center with Lyricosa Quartet! Formed in the spring of 2018, the Lyricosa Quartet is a vibrant string quartet based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Lauded for their “beautiful, rich tone...and stylish phrasing” (Classical Voice of North Carolina), they are committed to seeking out and exploring the heart of every work that they play, bringing that journey to their audiences. Their program will feature works by two titans of the string quartet literature, Franz Joseph Haydn and Ludwig van Beethoven, alongside two shorter, contrasting forays into the evocative beauty of folk song and quirky exploration: The Riddle (Gåtan) by Karin Rehnqvist and Italian Serenade by Hugo Wolf.  Light refreshments are served at intermission.  Tickets are $25 and available at The Cary Theater box office and on ETIX.

An afternoon of jazz, swing, and standards, celebrating Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday & Sarah Vaughan, featuring vocalist Maria Howell and pianist/vocalist Noel Freidline.

 

Noel Freidline and Maria Howell define chemistry. Musically, they breathe as one, communicating almost telepathically as they explore and re-interpret some of the best music of the last 80 years. Always approaching the music from “the left,” Noel and Maria have made a name for themselves as they offer listeners something they have heard, but that they have never heard before. Combine this fresh musical approach with a rapport and witty banter that harkens back to a bygone era, and you have Noel and Maria in their element: on stage, thrilling an audience at every turn. 

This show is presented by Christian Tamburr/Icons of Jazz Concert Series. Light refreshments are served at intermission. This is the Friends of the Page-Walker annual Carol J. Wright Memorial Concert. Tickets are $25 and available at The Cary Theater box office and on ETIX .
