Early Music Happy Hour with Musica Maestrale
Pay what you wish, $20 suggested; at the door or in advance
- Hideki Yamaya, lute
Musica Maestrale, the early music concert series, will present an event that is most definitely NOT a concert: the atmosphere will be more relaxed and casual, and you can grab a drink, get some snacks, and enjoy the music! Musica Maestrale's artistic director Hideki Yamaya will be joined by the organization's three board members—who are very accomplished amateur musicians—for a program of mostly 19th-century music featuring period guitars, mandolin, keyboard, and viol. The venue will be Pacifick Distillery, known for their amazing cocktails using their own artisanal spirits, and fantastic seafood. Historian (and MM board member) Lauri Kramer Serafin will give a brief talk about the history of the building—a treat for fans of local history. Come join the fun!
Doors open 4pm; music starts 4:30pm
Ages 21+ only.
