Past Highlights, Too
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
CHAMPAGNE & STRINGS
Bach for Solo Violin
Friday, February 10 at 7:30 pm
Lyon Park Community Center
414 N. Fillmore Street, Arlington
Our program features Joseph Scheer, concertmaster of the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra, performing solo violin partitas and sonatas by Bach. These masterworks firmly established the technical capability of the violin as a solo instrument and served as a model for generations of composers including Ysaye and Bartok. Brahms wrote of these pieces: "On one stave, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings."
Joseph Scheer was handpicked to be the concertmaster of the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra by Maestro John Williams himself, and over the course of his career has performed in virtually every great concert hall and with every great conductor and soloist imaginable. Joe will "talk and play" through these great works in our intimate concert space and IBIS "home base."
Did your New Year's resolutions include getting some culture and helping your community? If so, on Friday, February 10 you can kill two birds with one stone.
This concert is a fundraising event for the renovation of the Lyon Park Community Center. ALL proceeds from this concert go directly to the renovation fund.
Tickets $20
$10 seniors/students
Kids under 18 are free
Join us for a champagne reception

IBIS reprises an audience favorite, with an assist from the Arlington Children's Chorus. This program is designed to show kids what an important role music plays in telling a good story. Joe Scheer's rollicking arrangement of the music from "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" was done with Maestro John Williams' approval, and features IBIS musicians from the Kennedy Center, National Symphony and Boston Pops on strings, flute and harp, not to mention tom-tom, triangles, and police whistles! The Arlington Children's Chorus (Kevin Carr, director) helps out with the vocals. The program also features our original arrangement of Ravel's Mother Goose Suite. Mr. Carr narrates the familiar stories that Ravel set so beautifully in music, while classic illustrations are projected on the Dome Theater's ceiling.

See the DCdigest Food & Wine page for additional details about a new series of Italian cooking classes at Al Tiramisu, the most authentic Italian restaurant in the nation's capital. Covering all 20 regions of Italy, “It’s like taking a trip throughout Italy without the cost of going abroad," smiles Al Tiramisu's chef/owner Luigi Diotaiuti, who is known for his good cheer and authentic Italian cooking and wine mastery. Attendees of the Saturday afternoon classes will gain a real "flavor" of each region—its history, culture, inhabitants, and food and wine specialties—while cooking and eating three courses with wine pairings representing the area.
The first cooking class, Saturday, April 16, 11 AM-2 PM, focuses on Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean and the southernmost region of Italy. Succeeding classes will then move from the south up to the north of Italy. Cooking classes are $75 apiece including all food and wine. Reservations: 202-467-4466.

DAR WILLIAMS IN CONCERT WITH
IBIS CHAMBER MUSIC
Spectrum Theatre at the Artisphere
Arlington VA
Singer/songwriter Dar Williams has long been a luminous presence in today's pop-folk music scene and a regular on the touring circuit. Stereo-type raves: "Dar Williams may be the best female singer-songwriter in America today," and Paste hails her as "one of the genre's central figures." Her deeply felt, insightful songs and sweet singing voice have a broad appeal that transcends the boundaries of gender and generation, and her unique musical style defies categorization. Now Dar is embarking on a new boundary-crossing and definition-defying musical project: a collaboration with a classical chamber music ensemble.
Singer/Songwriter Dar Williams
Founded by violinist Joseph Scheer (concertmaster of the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra) and Susan Robinson (principal harp of the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra and Dar's sister-in-law), IBIS prizes musical excellence, innovative programming, and a friendly performance style that delights audiences. The Washington Post has praised IBIS as "splendid" and "compelling."
This concert will feature an exciting mix of music: original arrangements of Dar's music (popular favorites like When I Was a Boy,Beauty of the Rain, and Buzzer to name a few), as well as classical and traditional vocal music, and works by Gershwin and William Grant Still for string quartet and harp.
TICKETS $35/$30 Military/Seniors/Students

Our adult beverage buffet will include the following until each is depleted and may be replaced by additional selections. Vintages may vary. (By the way, if you like what you drink at our events, our good friends at Schneider's of Capitol Hill will help you find them for your own home or gift giving, and may have some good holiday specials for you.
