All Shows at The Barns at Wolf Trap 1635 Trap Road, Vienna, VA 22182

Chad & Jeremy Thursday, February 20, 2014 at 8 pm $30

Veteran Brit-pop folkies Chad Stuart and Jeremy Clyde first achieved success during the ’60s with breezy guitar anthems, witty repartee, and songs like “Yesterday’s Gone.” Chad & Jeremy’s biggest hit in the United States is “A Summer Song,” which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1964 and can still be heard on radio stations and in film soundtracks today. After a 26-year break in performing together, Chad & Jeremy released In Concert (2003), the first of more than 10 new albums this decade. Their most recent record, Rien Ne Va Plus (2013), showcases favorites like “The Water Is Wide” and new takes on timeless classics like “If I Fell.” According to AllMusic.com, “The two sing calmly and carefully over restrained arrangements usually pegged to an acoustic guitar, with pleasant strings and a reined- in rhythm section.”

ATOS Trio The Light that Shines in the Darkness The Discovery Series Friday, February 21, 2014 at 8pm $35

The critically acclaimed German piano trio ATOS was founded in 2003 by violinist Annette von Hehn, cellist Stefan Heinemeyer, and pianist Thomas Hoppe. The group strives to convey the spirit of a string quartet playing in the piano trio realm and has gained international attention with their dynamic playing. In 2007 they debuted at Carnegie Hall, won the Kalichstein-Laredo- Robinson International Trio Award, and took First Prize, Grand Prize, the Musica Viva Tour Prize, and the Audience Prize at the 5th Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition. Adding to their stellar accomplishments, ATOS won First Prize at the International Competition in Graz, Austria in 2006 and became BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists for 2009/2011. “Three voices—one sound: the kind of pitch-perfect unanimity of phrasing, tone, feeling, and interpretation that distinguishes the finest chamber ensembles.”—The Detroit Press

Cherish The Ladies Wednesday, February 26, 2014 at 8 pm Thursday, February 27, 2014 at 8 pm $25-$30

Hailed by The Boston Globe as “a leading group in the Irish traditional world,” Cherish The Ladies blends bravura musicianship, dynamic step dancing, and an inimitable stage presence for an explosively entertaining experience. Cherish The Ladies was originally pitched as a concert concept in 1985 to showcase a female presence in the male-dominated Irish music scene, and their extraordinary technique swiftly secured their place as a longstanding international sensation. The group consists of Joanie Madden (whistle, flute), Mary Coogan (guitar, mandolin, banjo), Mirella Murray (accordion), Gráinne Murphy (whistle, bodhrán), and Kathleen Boyle (piano, accordion). The Ladies received a Glasgow Royal Concert Hall’s International Group of the Year Award and the title of BBC’s Best Musical Group of the Year. They have collaborated with James Taylor, Joan Baez, Emmylou Harris, and many other notable performers. Video: Cherish The Ladies PBS Special

HAPA Friday, February 28, 2014 at 8 pm Saturday, March 1, 2014 at 7:30 pm $25-$30

With influences ranging from ancient chants to contemporary Hawaiian songs, Barry Flanagan and Ron Kuala'au perform music that is “beautiful, fragile, spiritual, and powerful” (The Los Angeles Times). HAPA has created its own unique musical niche and developed a devoted following throughout the Hawaiian Islands and beyond by updating the traditional Polynesian sound with tasteful pop and world beat influences. The group is known for its eclectic covers, performing songs by artists like U2 (“In the Name of Love”), John Lennon (“Imagine”), and Bob Marley (“Redemption Song”). HAPA’s albums have garnered many Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards (the Hawaiian equivalent of the Grammys), including Album of the Year for 2006’s Maui. “Hypnotic, liquid guitar runs woven around clear, tenor Hawaiian vocals and immaculate harmonies, driven by poetic lyrics exulting the rapture of the Hawaiian landscape and history...that’s HAPA.”—Sing Out!
