Winter Holiday Sampler Concert

Join us for a relaxing, harmonious, entertaining, participatory afternoon of music with some of our talented area performers on Saturday afternoon, Dec 27th.

- We'll start with fine a cappella harmonies by Reverb. This African-American quartet performs gospel, doo-wop, and traditional and inspirational R&B. They've received Washington Area Music Awards (Wammies) for Best Harmony Group and Best Gospel Group.
- After our first intermission, we'll be entertained by the Wammie-winning ensemble Hesperus. Tina Chancey co-founded the group in 1979 to bring centuries-old chamber-music traditions alive to area audience. Since then, they've toured the world, collaborating with a number of musicians to expand the scope of the ensemble to include world music, American Colonial music, Appalachian traditions and in recent years, providing the live "soundtrack" to silent films.
- After a few more holiday refreshments, we'll close with some high-energy fun from the All New Genetically Altered Jug Band. Featuring novelty songs of the 20th century, the band includes obscure oldies, parodies, and some classics.

So come listen, sing, laugh and enjoy the end-of-the-year company of some great talent and fellow Folklore Society members. The concert starts at 3:30 in the afternoon at the Washington Ethical Society Auditorium. General admission $15; $10 for FSGW members; $5 for children and students.
