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.

SUMMARY:Master Chef: South Asian Street Food Featuring Tapori & Daru Chef\, Suresh Sundas\, 2026 James Beard Award & RAMMY Finalist
DESCRIPTION:In-person Register HereHill Center is thrilled to welcome acclaimed Chef Suresh Sundas whose class will feature several standout dishes from Tapori and Daru. \nChef Suresh Sundas’ (James Beard Foundation Finalist: Best Chef Mid-Atlantic 2026\, RAMMY Rising Culinary star of the year 2025 winner\, Rammy 2022 Best new restaurant\, Food & Wine Magazine 2024 Global Tastemaker) cooking journey began in his mom’s home kitchen in the rural Pathari village of the Morang district of his native Nepal. He grew up watching her prepare traditional dishes with much love and care called Raksi- which is ‘local Daru’ at home\, igniting his passion for cooking. \nAfter working in Nepal at Hotel Deurali in 2001\, he arrived in the US in 2007 on an immigrant visa\, and when he came to the United States he had no idea how to find a job and worked at 7-11\, living in an apartment shared with family and friends. He always used to cook meals for everyone\, and one day he made chicken curry and was told he needed to work in a restaurant- which began his quest for culinary ambition. \nOver time\, experimenting with different ingredients and techniques became a creative outlet\, and he realized how much joy food can bring to people. His philosophy about food and dining centers around creating dishes that are approachable and creates experiences that delights senses and respects both the ingredients and the environment. He believes in using fresh\, high-quality ingredients and prioritizes sustainability by sourcing locally whenever possible. His approach to menu creation is rooted in a balance of seasonal flavors and cultural diversity\, aiming to offer a range of options that cater various tastes and dietary preferences. \nEvery dish created is deeply connected to its origins—whether that’s through traditional techniques\, regional flavors\, or the cultural stories behind the ingredients. He feels that food with roots tells a story and offers a sense of authenticity and connection that gives the dining experience new heights. \nLearn more about Tapori and Daru here. \nComplimentary beer and wine will be served. \nPLEASE NOTE: Tickets are non-refundable. We apologize for any inconvenience.
