ARTIST RECEPTION: Esther Kirshenbaum, multimedia artist
Kerrytown Concert House 415 N. 4th Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI, United StatesJoin us for a gallery reception to celebrate the work of multimedia artist, Esther Kirshenbaum.
This artist reception is free and open to the public.
Artist statement: The eclectic and transporting performances at the Kerrytown Concert House inspired this show, which features work spanning time and place, encompassing multimedia conversations with New York City and Buenos Aires, as well as the diverse ecosystems surrounding Ann Arbor. The rich variety of music in this space moved me to seek evocative contrasts in the work displayed here, art that is bright and subtle, frenetic and quiet, and includes encaustic, metalwork, collage, and monotypes.

Randy Napoleon Trio: East Coast Meets West Coast – A Singer Showcase
Kerrytown Concert House 415 N. 4th Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI, United StatesSponsored by Ensemble Concert Sponsors Dan & Monica Atkins
Critically-acclaimed guitarist and arranger from the national scene, Randy Napoleon (also an Ann Arbor native) returns to the House bringing two award-winning, Downbeat-recognized jazz singers of today as different in style as the places they call home. West Coast singer, Melissa Morgan, is influenced by tradition (Nancy Wilson & Dinah Washington) but “isn’t copying anybody” (London Evening Standard). East Coast singer Aubrey Johnson’s "bright crystalline vocal tone" and "creative versatility" (JazzTimes) have earned her recognition as both a singer and arranger. To bridge the gap between coasts, Napoleon has assembled a Midwest trio comprised of fellow nationally sought-after players: Rodney Whitaker on bass and David Alvarez III on drums.
