SUMMARY:Andalusian & North African Jazz Featuring Internationally Acclaimed Drummer Yogev Shetrit
DESCRIPTION:In-person Register Here“Way of Tradition” Solo Performance & Masterclass \nYogev Shetrit’s solo performance presents original compositions that fuse traditional North African\, Gnawa\, and Andalusian music from his Moroccan heritage with contemporary jazz and Mediterranean influences. Through drums\, rhythm\, and live musical storytelling\, Shetrit creates an intimate and powerful musical experience that connects ancient traditions with modern improvisation. \nHis latest album\, “Way of Tradition\,” was praised by All About Jazz for “keeping its jazz roots while weaving global influences\,” and for blending Moroccan\, Central Asian\, and Mediterranean traditions into a unique and personal musical language. The review highlighted how Shetrit’s music transcends geographical and stylistic boundaries and noted that the drums function not only rhythmically but melodically\, becoming a central voice in the music. \nBefore recording\, the compositions were performed extensively in concerts and festivals worldwide\, where audiences responded warmly to the music’s fresh yet deeply rooted cultural identity\, connecting both to its originality and its traditional influences. \nYogev’s masterclass explores the rich rhythmic traditions of the Middle East\, Morocco\, and the Mediterranean\, and their influence on jazz and contemporary music. Participants learn core rhythm concepts\, how to orchestrate them on different instruments\, and how to integrate them into modern performance. \nThe masterclass is highly participatory with audiences joining through clapping\, body percussion\, call-and-response\, and group rhythm exercises\, creating an engaging and inspiring shared musical experience. \n \nYogev Shetrit is an international composer and drummer\, born in 1978. He earned his BA in Musicology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and was the founder and member of the internationally acclaimed Coolooloosh band. He has performed with notable artists including Chuchito Valdez\, Tia Fuller\, Arnie Lawrence\, Paulo Morello\, and Kevin Mahogany. \nA composer at heart\, Shetrit formed the Yogev Shetrit Trio in 2016 to perform his original music. Since then\, he has performed in over 50 countries at major festivals and prestigious venues including the International Panama Jazz Festival\, The Kennedy Center (Washington\, DC)\, Casa del Jazz (Rome)\, and many others.

SUMMARY:Stone Room Concerts @ Hill Center Featuring Arco & Aire: Contemporary Tango Music
DESCRIPTION:In-person Register HereFeaturing Bandoneonist\, Heyni Solera and Cellist Maxfield Wollam-Fisher \nFor the past seven years\, Heyni Solera and Maxfield Wollam-Fisher have been actively working together in bringing live tango music to the Washington D.C. area through their performances with Da Capo Tango. Their collaboration led to their unique instrumentation as a cello/bandoneon duo. This dynamic duo focuses on playing tangos not commonly played on the dance floor and tangos written by composers who are alive today. Their mission is to foster a sense of community and collaboration between tango musicians\, organizers\, and dancers. They also provide outreach to new audiences that may not be aware of tango’s resurgence by working with directors and artists from other genres. In 2021\, Arco & Aire released their first EP\, Overture\, whose track\, “La Bordona” won the Best Latin Song for the 2022 Wammie Awards. In the summer of 2024 they released their first full album\, Una Noche Entre Sueños\, featuring eight commissions from contemporary tango composers.” \nAbout Heyni Solera:  Praised for her “soulful bandoneón” (Washington Classical Review)\, Heyni Solera is a sought after bandoneonist in Washington\, D.C. Heyni has enjoyed a career in the US and abroad performing in Argentina\, Canada and Australia and collaborating with prominent tango artists such as Ramiro Boero\, Julian Peralta\, Pablo Jaurena\, Santiago Segret\, Pedro Giraudo and many more. In 2019\, Heyni was a member of the Argentine tango orchestra schools La Orquesta de Tango de la Una and the Conservatorio Superior de “Manuel de Falla”\, where she had the opportunity to perform in the prestigious Centro Cultural Kirchner. \nAbout Maxfield Wollam-Fisher:  As a musician who revels in versatility\, Maxfield enjoys collaborating in every genre from the traditional to avant garde\, folk to pop. Recently he could be found on Becky G’s NPR Tiny Desk Concert\, Miss Lauryn Hill’s concert at the Capital One Arena in Washington\, DC\, and performing and recording tango in Argentina and around the United States. As a tango musician for nearly fifteen years\, Maxfield has performed with the likes of Julian Peralta\, Ramiro Boero\, Stratos Achlatis\, Victor LaVallen\, Pablo Zeigler and many others. Over this time he directed a number of projects including the Da Capo Tango Orchestra\, Orquesta Tipica Loca\, and the Mad City Live Tango Festival. Along with presenting workshops for both tango musicians and dancers\, Maxfield is an advocate for cello and contemporary tango and recently wrote and recorded a series of tango arrangements for solo cello in Buenos Aires. \n\n\nDavid Holiday\, a lifelong music aficionado \, founded Stone Room Concerts together with his wife in 2012 to bring intimate\, high-quality performances by local\, national\, and international independent musicians to the DMV area. He has curated and hosted well over 200 concerts over the past decade in his home\, churches\, and Hill Center.
