SUMMARY:Augusta Flatpicking Guitar Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Level up your guitar skills with this weekend of flatpicking immersion! The weekend’s teachers\, Tyler Grant and Robin Kessinger\, are both National Flatpicking Champions. As individuals\, their professional careers have taken them to concert halls and contest stages around the country and the world\, as well as to classrooms where they have been lauded as teachers. As a duo\, they formed a friendship based on mutual musical admiration and recorded an incredible duo album call “Kanawha County Flatpicking” in 2018. The classes for this event are organized into two tracks: Beginning/Intermediate (Level I) and Intermediate/Advanced (Level II). Students will choose their track when they register and both tracks will get to work with both teachers– Tyler will take Level I in the morning and Robin will take Level II\, then they will switch for the afternoon.

SUMMARY:Salome
DESCRIPTION:Met music director Yannick Nezet-Seguin takes the podium on May 17 to conduct Strauss’s one-act tragedy\, which will be transmitted live from the Metropolitan Opera stage to cinemas worldwide. Leading the company’s first new production of the work in 20 years\, Claus Guth\, one of Europe’s leading opera directors\, gives the biblical story a psychologically perceptive Victorian-era setting. South African soprano Elza van den Heever leads a celebrated cast as the abused and unhinged antiheroine\, with Swedish baritone Peter Mattei as the imprisoned prophet Jochanaan; German tenor Gerhard Siegel as Salome’s lecherous stepfather\, King Herod; American mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung as his wife\, Herodias; and Polish tenor Piotr Buszewski as Narraboth.

SUMMARY:CHOPIN\, THE BEAUTIFUL!
DESCRIPTION:Pianist Barbara Nissman returns to Carnegie Hall to present a third season of Carnegie Classics\, a three- part concert series designed to introduce classical music to new audiences\, as well as inspiring and entertaining all music enthusiasts. \n\n\n\nHosted by Steinway “legend” and recent 2023 West Virginia Music Hall of Fame inductee\, Nissman invites the listener to travel with her to explore the composers’ world. She makes listening easy and  music meaningful\, and she shares her joy and passion for her composer “friends” and their great music with all of us. No education is required— just a set of ears to listen and an open heart to receive the joys of music! \n\n\n\nThe final Classics Series concert\, Chopin\, the Beautiful!\, includes a performance of the Second Piano Concerto that Chopin arranged for piano and string quintet so he could play it himself in the elegant salons of his Parisian patrons. Barbara will be joined by five West Virginian musician friends for that special performance and will also share with us some scenes from Chopin’s life and music. \n\n\n\n“What a joy for me to return for another season of great music performed on the beautiful Steinway at our wonderful Carnegie Hall! With this series we are expanding the audience for classical music\, and it is so gratifying for me to share with my community the music that I love so much. We all need more joy in our lives these days\, and music has the power to transport us into a magical world.” – Barbara Nissman \n\n\n\n​
