What do you get when you combine two artists dubbed by The New York Times as “…a golden-toned baritone” and “…the gold standard of accompanists”? Another extraordinary collaboration between baritone Jesse Blumberg and pianist Martin Katz! Kerrytown Concert House is honored and delighted to welcome back these artists after far too long – this time, with a recital that explores themes of songwriting, singing, and music itself.

Don’t miss this compelling evening of Art Song with two equally compelling world-class artists in KCH’s intimate venue!

The black and white keys of the piano sound beautiful when played with love, and few people truly love the piano as much as jazz, blues and boogie-woogie pianist Mark Lincoln Braun, who will be performing his annual “Mr. B’s Birthday Bounce” at KCH on his actual birthday this year!

Kerrytown Concert House is thrilled to present the debut of this synergistic duo collaboration over ten years in the making! The musical tapestry of Pinheiro/Jasperse blends Bossa nova, Jazz, and the Great American Songbook – all woven throughout with new music written by the artists. Described by Downbeat Magazine as “…a prodigy of guitar,” Chico Pinheiro has been nominated three times for the American Grammy Awards (in 2019, 2020 & 2021). World-renowned composer, arranger, vocalist and pianist, Greg Jasperse, is a member of Vertical Voices and frequent sub in the New York Voices, has spent the last decade as the Director of Vocal Jazz and Gold Company at Western Michigan University’s Irving S. Gilmore School of Music, and has performed with the Bob Mintzer Big Band, Chris Potter, Adele, Bobby McFerrin, Rosemary Clooney and Dianne Reeves, to name a few.

Recognized in the Jazz Times 2010 Critics Poll, the quartet masterfully blends rhythms, sounds, and textures from across the globe with world music inspired original compositions.

With their quintet, reedmen Peter & Will Anderson present the work of the King of Swing, clarinetist Benny Goodman. Goodman’s 60-year career is highlighted by sparking the swing era in 1935, bringing jazz into Carnegie Hall, and leading the top big band of the 1930s swing era. He also helped bridge the divide between the jazz and classical worlds. Goodman’s small group with Gene Krupa, Lionel Hampton, and Teddy Wilson was groundbreaking for its blistering tempos and swinging classics.

This performance is generously supported by Series Underwriters, Dallas & Sharon Dort.

Kerrytown Concert House welcomes Ann Arbor’s favorite trio back in the House to celebrate all things “trio.”

Formed in 2003 and based in the musical crossroads of Cleveland, The Oblivion Project is dedicated to the exploration and performance of the over 3000 Nuevo Tango works of Argentine tango master Astor Piazzolla. For the past decade, musicians from all across the Americas have collaborated to explore and share the uncompromisingly unique, unequivocally attractive language of Piazzolla’s tangos.

Join us for a very special program featuring the newest Detroit Symphony Orchestra concertmaster, Robyn Bollinger, in violin recital with Chamber Soloists of Detroit Founder and pianist, Pauline Martin.

Noted for his “jaw dropping display of improvisational power” (All About Jazz), pianist and composer Michael Malis appears at KCH in a rare solo recital. He’ll present original compositions, which range from the spacious and lush to the unpredictable and raucous. Still, he stays conversant with his musical ancestors, drawing on repertoire from composers such as Sun Ra, Thelonious Monk, Alice Coltrane, and others, to create a rich and diverse program that looks forward, backward, and center.

This is a rare opportunity to hear two prize-winning artists in KCH’s salon setting! The New York Times describes violinist Jasmine Lin as an “unusually individualistic player” with “electrifying assertiveness” and “virtuosic abandon.” And cellist Deborah Pae is praised by critics for her “extraordinary musicianship” (San Diego Union Tribune), “superb tone,” and “high level of interpretative intelligence” (Transcentury).
