David Grisman Quintet Plus
David Grisman is known far and wide for his "dawg" music, a jubilant, highly intricate, harmonically advanced hybrid of so many different stylistic influences (swing, bluegrass, Latin, jazz, gypsy) that he had to invent the name for it. He has inspired a whole new genre of acoustic string instrumental music while creating a unique niche for himself in the world of contemporary live music.
For the past 25 years, the David Grisman Quintet, one of the most influential and musically innovated bands in America, has won numerous polls and awards and has headlined at major jazz, folk and bluegrass festivals around the world. DGQ alumni (including Tony Rice, Mark O'Connor, Mike Marshall and Darol Anger) have gone on to establish successful careers as leaders of acoustic music. |

Sisters in Soul featuring Marcia Ball, Bettye LaVette & Maria Muldaur
A night of powerhouse soul from three amazing singers, each has her own expressive voice and style. This will be the concert of the season!
Grammy nominee Marcia Ball blends sounds from the Texas-Louisiana border with New Orleans R&B and piano boogie. Her current CD "Peace, Love & BBQ" debuted at #1 in the Billboard Blues Charts. "Ball is a formidable musical force." - Billboard Magazine
Bettye LaVette earned a 2008 Grammy nomination for her critically acclaimed CD "The Scene of the Crime" and is one of the greatest soul singers in American music today. She possesses an incredibly expressive voice that exudes a formidable level of strength and intensity and yet can appear vulnerable, reflective, and evoke heartbreak.
Maria Muldaur’s roots are in the folk revival of the early '60s where she performed in Greenwhich Village with Bob Dylan, David Grisman and John Sebastian. Her 1974 hit "Midnight at the Oasis" charted at #6 in the Billboard Hot 100 and in the late 70s she joined Jerry Garcia's Band. She is currently recording again with Grisman and Sebastian for a record to be released in September.

Albany Pro Musica Presents:
The Great Choral Tradition
The great choral tradition continues with two memorable works by composers born centuries apart. The Requiem is one of Mozart’s most remarkable works, also one of his last; it was composed as the composer himself was slowly dying. In contrast, the rhythmic complexities and emotive phrasing of Hebrew prayer in Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms offer a sense of serene hope.
Furthering our Music in Education efforts, we will add the talents of selected high school “apprentices” and this season’s “adopted” choir: Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Chamber Choir (Ann Derrick, director)
Also with “Words and Music” quartet:
Melissa Coombs, Soprano
Bailey Whiteman, Alto
Terrance Johns, Tenor
William Heim, Bass
and Orchestra Pro Musica
