Beyond the Notes

Concord native, Sarah Whitney will return to to present the sixth annual Beyond the Notes at 51 Walden Performing Arts Center on February 28, 2020 at 7:30pm!

Beyond the Notes is a unique and interactive concert experience that gives the audience a chance to get to know the performers beyond what can be read in their bios. In addition to presenting some of todays most sought after musicians, Beyond the Notes invites audience members to participate in the concert by submitting written questions. Questions are selected randomly and answered live on stage by the performers throughout the concert.

Artistic director and founder, violinist Sarah Whitney, will be joined by Mike Block and Sandeep Das for an unforgettable evening of music in Concord! Mike Block (cello/vocals) and Sandeep Das (tabla) are a dynamic, cross-genre duo that originally met as members of Yo-Yo Mas Grammy Award-winning Silkroad Ensemble. Featuring a combination of the Tabla: a pair of Indian drums used in Hindustani Classical Music, Cello: a bowed string instrument used in European Classical Music, as well as Vocals: both rhythmic and melodic, this energetic duo has been performing since 2013, sharing their music throughout America and India via tours and residencies, and even on the stage of Carnegie Hall.

"I believe that too often there is a barrier between the audience and the performers when the audience knows little about the musicians they are watching," says Whitney. "The mission of Beyond the Notes is to change that dynamic because getting to know the musicians on stage can significantly change the listening experience.
