GRAMMY-nominated lutenist Ronn McFarlane is joined by Viola da Gamba champion Carolyn Surrick for an evening full of joy and innovation. Ronn and Carolyn take these ancient instruments and place them in a timeless context that captivates and entertains their audience. Complimentary, Celtic-inspired hors d'ouvres complete the evening's immersive sensory experience. Doors, food and beverage service at 6:00pm, music 6:30-7:45pm.
Sponsored by Fanfare Studio of Richmond VA.
Both of the distinguished artists have been champions of their respective instruments for decades, immersing themselves in various forms of folk and chamber music. Renaissance and Baroque music appears alongside traditional Celtic and Swedish folk tunes, 19th and 20th century compositions, and original compositions from each of them. Individually, the artists have been awarded, acclaimed, and celebrated - now finally, they have become musical partners in an extraordinary journey. Ronn and Carolyn's musicianship is impeccable, the ease with which they play together is stunning, and their music making is a joy to behold.

Join Classical Revolution's 2022 Featured composer, Curt Sydnor, for the public premiere of the chamber symphony, The Fall of Richmond.
The Fall of Richmond evokes the turmoil and exultation which overtook Richmond on April 2-4,1865 as Confederate forces burned and abandoned the city. Composed in Richmond during the protests of 2020, the work is an ode to the US Colored Troops regiment which led the march into Richmond, to President Lincoln’s famous visit the following day, and to the concurrent liberation of Richmond’s enslaved population.
Gallery 5’s stage backdrop and historic walls will be illuminated with projections of Richmond’s ruins (as photographed by Matthew Brady and others) to create an immersive musical-historical environment. Conductor Naima Burrs will lead the nine-piece ensemble comprised of Richmond’s finest classical musicians, including members of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. The program will also include premiers of Sydnor’s Chaconne for violin, bass, and piano and a song setting for chamber ensemble featuring Laura Ann Singh.
For Virginia music lovers, this one-time event is not to be missed.
The event is FREE and open to all ages! Donations encouraged.

This beautiful poster was designed by Christina Marie. The pattern design on this poster was created by using Turkish kilim symbols that represent happiness, joy, love, family, and abundance, as a way to share our love and hope with all those who have been affected in both Turkey and Syria. The tulip is the National flower of Turkey, included in the pattern for solidarity.
