Experience an evening of classical enchantment with the Cape Symphony Orchestra's principal string players at the Cape Cod Museum of Art. Join us on Saturday, April 13th, at 7:30 pm for a concert that promises to be a memorable journey through the soul-stirring power of music.

Following a brief intermission—a perfect moment to reflect and refresh—our musical journey resumes with Steven Snowden's "Appalachian Polaroids," a piece that captures the essence of Americana. The evening will culminate in the classical elegance of Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik," before concluding with the traditional charm of "Old Reinlander from Sonndala."

Complementing the auditory feast, the event will have a curated wine bar for purchase by the renowned Dunn & Sons, ensuring an exquisite tasting experience that matches the sophistication of the musical selections. Guests will also have access to the museum's two main galleries (Hope/McClennan and Bank of America/Hunter) as well the Hart-Signore Sculpture and the Ocean Edge galleries to further round out this one-of-kind artistic experience.

Maine-based indie duo, Oshima Brothers’ have been creating music together since childhood. The brothers blend songs from the heart with blood harmonies to produce a "roots-based pop sound that is infectious." (NPR) On stage, Sean and Jamie offer lush vocals, live looping, foot percussion, electric and acoustic guitars, vintage keyboard and bass - often all at once. They want every show to feel like a deep breath, a dance party and a sonic embrace. When not recording or touring they find time to film and produce their own music videos, tie their own shoes and cook elaborate feasts. Maine Public Radio’s Sara Willis describes their songs as “beautiful, those brother harmonies can’t be beat. They are uplifting and, let’s face it, we need uplifting these days.”

Born and raised in rural Maine, Louisa Stancioff has emerged as a gifted writer with a cinematic eye for richly detailed, emotionally-charged character studies that grapple with the complexities of loneliness and desire, guilt and forgiveness. A nomadic soul who spent stints living in Alaska, California, New York, and North Carolina before returning home, she grew up learning traditional Bulgarian music from her paternal grandfather’s side of the family and reveled in singing American folk and roots tunes with her friends. 

Louisa’s debut album When We Were Looking is out now. Check out the Official Press Release. Louisa has toured extensively, playing shows with Izaak Opatz, Indigo de Souza, The Dead Tongues, Darlingside, Micaela Davis, Pokey Lafarge and many more.

Artist:

Rose Clancy
Summer McCall

Cape Symphony Presents invites you to a very special gathering in the Celtic tradition, featuring a session with Chatham fiddler Rose Clancy followed by a community dance led by traditional dance caller Summer McCall with live music by The Rose Clancy Trio.

A Celtic session is typically led by one or two musicians, joined by any number of others on various instruments and vocals. The joy is in learning by listening, singing, and playing, and sharing this time-honored tradition.

For the dance, Summer McCall will draw from Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton, English folk and New England folk traditions including contra-dancing and square dancing. The dances will be easy and fun to learn, and no prior experience is necessary! Summer will teach us all with patience and good humor.

Not inclined to dancing? Join us for the music, and a great evening with friends old and new. All are welcome.

American music is full of iconic duos, where the skills of two artists unite to make something truly special and memorable. The haunting close harmonies of the Everly Brothers, the swinging phrasing of the Barry Sisters, and the dazzling musical innovations of Les Paul and Mary Ford profoundly influenced successive generations of musicians, and their legacies are still felt and celebrated today.

In this concert, award-winning Americana duo ‘Our Band’ (Sasha Papernik and Justin Poindexter) salute their favorite musical duos, alongside their own original music and wide-ranging repertoire, all delivered with their quick wit, virtuoso style and airtight harmonies.

Our Band will win your heart. Sasha Papernik and Justin Poindexter bring their award-winning songwriting and bold interpretations to a rich Americana soundscape. With their airtight harmonies, irreverent humor, and astounding instrumental virtuosity, the pair’s restless creativity knows no bounds - both in concert and in their unique music videos. Together, they have performed for audiences in some of the world’s greatest venues, from Carnegie Hall to Lincoln Center to the Smithsonian Museum of American Art. In 2018-19 they toured Poland, Germany and Estonia as ambassadors of American music for U.S. State Department. Their debut album, featuring American music legend David Amram, was released to critical acclaim in 2021. Songs in their new “Our Band: Live Studio Sessions” project featuring steel guitarist Cindy Cashdollar have won finalist places in this year’s MerleFest and New Song songwriting competitions.

Vocalist and pianist/accordionist Sasha Papernik is a classically trained pianist and first generation Russian-American. The Washington Post calls her “uncommonly attractive and entertaining…managing a comfortable balance of the formal and the casual." Drawing on her dual heritage, she uses her wide range of talents to present concerts spanning genres and continents. Her self-released bilingual album, "Victory," has been hailed by reviewers as "unparalleled in its aesthetics and musical elegance" (Indiemunity). Her bilingual concert, “I Speak Music," has toured New York City schools for The Center For Arts Education, Lincoln Center Education, and Carnegie Hall. Sasha is a graduate of Wellesley College and the Manhattan School of Music.

Guitarist and vocalist Justin Poindexter was raised in North Carolina, the son of a country singer and a schoolteacher. Specializing in American Roots music, including folk, blues, country and traditional jazz, his 2014 album with the Amigos, “Diner in the Sky,” won Americana Album of Year from the Independent Music Awards. Justin has performed with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, David Amram, Ken Peplowski, Bria Skonberg, Ranger Doug, Nellie McKay, Catherine Russell, and Jon Batiste among many others, and has travelled extensively overseas for the American Music Abroad program. He co-designed and leads Jazz at Lincoln Center’s global outreach concert initiative, “Let Freedom Swing,” which receives 600 perf
