SUMMARY:Roomful Of Blues
DESCRIPTION:21+\, Posiive I.D. Required. 6:00pm Doors/7:00pm Show \nEven though Roomful of Blues’ lineup has changed over the years\, the band has always been one of the tightest\, most joyful blues ensembles in the world.

Along with bassist John Turner\, trumpeter Carl Gerhard\, drummer Mike Coffey\, keyboardist Rusty Scott\, baritone and tenor saxophonist Alek Razdan\, tenor and alto saxophonist Rich Lataille\, Roomful keeps on rockin’ into 2024.

SUMMARY:ROCKPORT CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL: MAHAN ESFAHANI & Viano Quartet featuring Bach's Brandenburg No. 5
DESCRIPTION:Viano String Quartet | Demarre McGill\, flute | Barry Shiffman\, violin | Jeremy McCoy\, double bass \nHarpsichordist Mahan Esfahani was the first and only harpsichordist to be a BBC New Generation Artist (2008-2010)\, a Borletti-Buitoni prize winner (2009)\, and a nominee for Gramophone’s Artist of the Year (2014\, 2015\, 2017). He is joined by the Viano Quartet\, which won First Prize at the 2019 Banff International String Quartet Competition\, and an all-star ensemble for a concert featuring the East Coast premiere of Gavin Bryars new work and Bach’s Brandenburg No. 5. \nProgram\nCPE BACH: Sanguineus/Melancholicus\nGULLIVER: Suite of Telemann for Two Violins\nGAVIN BRYARS: Quintet for harpsichord and string quartet (co-commissioned by Rockport Music)\nIntermission\nCPE BACH: Sonata in G Major\, “Hamburger” Wq: 133\nJ.S. BACH: Brandenburg Concerto No. 5\, BWV 1050 \nMahan Esfahani\, harpsichord\nMahan Esfahani has established himself as the first harpsichordist in a generation whose work spans virtually all areas of classical music-making from critically-acclaimed performances and recordings of the standard repertoire to working with the leading composers of the day to pioneering concerto appearances with major symphony orchestras on four continents. He was the first and only harpsichordist to be a BBC New Generation Artist (2008-2010)\, a Borletti-Buitoni prize winner (2009)\, and a nominee for Gramophone’s Artist of the Year (2014\, 2015\, 2017. As a concerto soloist\, he has performed with major symphonies and chamber orchestras and contemporary music ensembles around the world. \nEsfahani’s work with new and modern music is particularly acclaimed\, with high-profile solo and concertante commissions from composers such as George Lewis\, Brett Dean\, Bent Sørensen and other contemporary voices. His commitment to exploring the contemporary voice for the harpsichord is reflected in his 2020 Hyperion release ‘Musique?’ – a compilation of electronic and acoustic works including the modern revival of Luc Ferrari’s 1974 Programme commun for harpsichord and tape. In recognition of his contributions to the classical music field\, Mahan Esfahani was awarded the 2022 Wigmore Hall Prize. \nHis richly-varied discography for Hyperion and Deutsch Grammophon – including an ongoing series of the complete works of Bach for the former – has been acclaimed in the press with a Gramophone award\, two BBC Music Magazine Awards\, a Diapason d’Or\, ‘Choc de Classica\,’ an ICMA\, as well as numerous Editor’s Choices including a spot in the Telegraph’s compilation of essential classical music and the New York Times List of Top Recordings. He can be frequently heard as a commentator on BBC Radio 3 and Radio. Born in Tehran\, Esfahani grew up in the United States and studied musicology and history at Stanford University before completing his studies in Prague with the celebrated Czech harpsichordist Zuzana Růžičková. He now makes his home in Prague. \nViano String Quartet\nLucy Wang\, violin | Hao Zhou\, violin | Aiden Kane\, viola | Tate Zawadiuk\, cello\nPraised for their “virtuosity\, visceral expression\, and rare unity of intention” (Boston Globe)\, the Viano Quartet is one of the most sought-after performing young ensembles today and currently in-residence at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Bowers Program from 2024-2027. Since winning First Prize at the 2019 Banff International String Quartet Competition\, they have traveled to nearly every major city across the globe.
