FALL 2025 Concert Info

DEAREST DEAR

Saturday, September 13, 2025 at 4:00PM

Rooted in the musical traditions of New England, Dearest Dear presents traditional tunes from Ireland, New England, Quebec, and France, and craft vocal harmonies for age-old songs with modern relevance. Rose Jackson (fiddle, vocals), draws her sound from her upbringing in the folk scene of western Massachusetts, grounded in a deep love of old repertoire and her experience touring festivals with bands Polaris and Stove Dragon. Helen Kuhar (guitar, vocals, harmonium) hails from Cambridge, MA and can be found hosting Irish sessions around the greater Boston area, accompanying traditional musicians from across the region, and playing for contra dances around the country. Together, Dearest Dear invites audiences in for stories, melodies, and lyrics that unite us all in our shared humanity.

SILVERBACK SWING
Sunday, October 5, 2025 at 4:00PM

Silverback Swing performs vintage jazz of the 1920's and 1930's in the style of Django Reinhardt, the great Gypsy guitarist. This style of jazz was popular in France, where they adapted American jazz into their own form, eliminating horns and using accordions, clarinets and violins. Silverback Swing have been performing as an acoustic jazz quarter in New England for over 8 years, with Mark Anagnostopulos on rhythm guitar and vocals, Alton Lathrop on lead guitar, Gus Hollingsworth on accordion and vocals and Steve Frankel on bass.

ROD MACDONALD with MARK DANN
Friday, October 17, 2025 at 7:00PM

Rod MacDonald was a big part of the 1980s folk revival in Greenwich Village, where he headlined the local clubs, co-founded the GV Folk Festival, and wrote "American Jerusalem," “Every Living Thing,” ”White Buffalo” and “A Sailor’s Prayer,” among his songs recorded by Shawn Colvin, Jonathan Edwards, Happy Traum, The Crimson Pirates, and many more. With Mark Dann as bassist since 1977, they have co-produced 13 of his 14 albums, including his latest “Rants And Romance.” Mark Dann has also produced more than two hundred other artists and played bass on dozens of albums and tours.Their organic performance of MacDonald’s driving guitar, tenor vocals and songs both romantic and “flush with astute observations and commentary on the current stage” (Goldmine 2023) with Dann’s freewheeling bass is brilliantly captured in the 2017 DVD “Live in Germany” as seen on youtube and other streaming sites.

Two For a Song: You've Got That Thing! April 4, 2021 at 7:30pm (EDT)

Do you love the music of the 20s and 30s? Then you MUST check out this amazing duo. Doug's voice is glorious, and perfect for this style of music. And I think Alex has 4 hands, he gets so much sound out of the piano with his pianoodling! Truly virtuosic, both of them.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Bowles and Hassan of TWO FOR A SONG are back at the Emerson Avenue Covid-Safe Salon (both fully vaccinated) with their latest offering: YOU’VE GOT THAT THING.

What do they have? Just a collection of some of the most tuneful, sentimental, grand, delightful, witty, wonderful, syncopated and romantic tunes of the 1920s and 30s!!

The pair have chosen a stunning collection of some of the greatest and well-known songs by towering giants in the field. Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin, Johnny Mercer, Rodgers and Hart lead the pack in this tour-de-force of richly harmonic and delightfully articulate songs with melodies for the ages. The boys may “blow in like a boisterous breeze” but you’ll feel like “you’ve got the world on a string” after an evening with these two masters of the golden age style of vocalism and pianoodling.

Come join us for an unforgettable evening. Remember “there will never be another you” - an audience we adore. Heck, even after the “song has ended, the melody [will linger] on."

Sign on as a supporter for Doug Bowles' Historic Coon-Sanders Recording Project!

An amazing singer; a hot, hot band; a fantabulous project . . . and YOU can be a part of it!

Minimum pledge is just $1!

Doug Bowles is planning a series of concerts and a recording with his SingCo Rhythm Orchestra of his extraordinary collection of world class arrangements of the Coon-Sanders Original Nighthawks. 

Doug is seeking your assistance in making this music available to a wider audience, through performances and a professional quality recording.

Visit Doug's Kickstarter page to donate now!

He has already amassed the arrangements, which are shockingly exact record transcriptions for the most part.

Doug Bowles and his SingCo Rhythm Orchestra recently gave a live concert of the music for the Potomac River Jazz Club, and were praised for their "hot" and "authentic" presentation of this incredible music. (Check out these videos! The Nighthawk Blues and Got a Great Big Date with a Little Bitty Girl I Love)

Your support will enable this very skilled orchestra to present authentic performances of Coon-Sanders' music. You will never have heard more virtuosic arrangements! This music has likely not been performed in public in this large a setting, and this large a quantity of charts, since the original group disbanded in 1933.

Your investment will be used to support the live concerts and recording fees, including musician fees, venue rental, all associated recording costs, marketing and publicity and potential multi-media presentations to accompany the live concerts.

Visit Doug's Kickstarter page to donate now!

The Coon-Sanders band was really Blazin! They were the top of the tops in the 1920s and 1930s, until the untimely death of one of its leaders in the early '30s. Mel Torme, the famous jazz singer and scat master, made his radio debut with this band at the age of 4, appearing on their radio broadcast for 6 weeks.

Your support will make possible the recording of such hits as
HERE COMES MY BALL AND CHAIN, LOUDER AND FUNNIER, READY FOR THE RIVER, MY BABY KNOWS HOW, AFTER YOU'VE GONE, and many more!

Look Out! Here Comes My Ball and Chain!

Art Deco Society of Washington Fundraiser

Retro-Politans to Present Program of 1930s World’s Fair Songs

October 1 at 7:30pm
The Sumner School, 1201 17th Street NW

The Retro-Politans, whose popular Shakin’ the Blues Away show pleased crowds at the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage and venues throughout the mid-Atlantic region, will introduce a new program--Dawn of a New Day: World’s Fair Songs of the 1930s--at the historic Charles Sumner School October 1, 2010.

Sponsored by the Art Deco Society of Washington as part of its World’s Fair Weekend, the 7:30 PM performance will be preceded by a reception. The Sumner School is located at 1201 17^th Street NW just blocks from the Farragut North Metro station.

Proceeds from the concert will support restoration of the Belgian Friendship Pavilion from the 1939-40 New York World’s Fair. Dismantled and moved to Virginia Union University in Richmond as a gift from the Belgian Government following the closure of the New York World’s Fair, the Pavilion is one of only two major buildings surviving from the New York fair. It is the only building in the United States designed by famed Belgian modernist architect Henry van de Velde. The Belgian Friendship Pavilion requires significant exterior restoration and lacks a carillon for its bell tower, the original bells having been donated to the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.

The Retro-Politans consists of three of the finest musicians in the Washington, DC area— Doug Bowles, vocals, Cindy Hutchins, vocals, and Alex Hassan, piano. Each has travelled around the world performing in shows, concerts, and cabarets. Their expertise in the style and repertoire of the 1920s - 40s is unparalleled.

•Doug Bowles leads a 12-piece 1920s-40s big band—The SingCo Rhythm Orchestra-- playing original charts and arrangements of the period. He has sung throughout the world in opera, operetta, musical theatre, popular, jazz and big band styles. He has also directed and/or conducted over 100 musical productions.

•Cindy Hutchins, featured female vocalist with the SingCo Rhythm Orchestra, has toured the United States performing big band music of the 30s and 40s, performed in numerous concerts for the Smithsonian, and appeared in most of the major theatre venues in Washington. In addition to Washington, she has performed in Europe, New York and China.

•Alex Hassan is one of a very few torch bearers for the style known as "novelty piano" and is a sought after performer at venues around the world. Alex has numerous CD recordings and an active concert schedule both in the United States and abroad. He is president of the Northern Virginia Ragtime Society.

Dawn of a New Day will take the audience on a musical tour through America’s world’s fairs of the 1930s, including songs introduced at the 1933-34 Chicago “Century of Progress” World’s Fair, the 1936 Ft. Worth Frontier Centennial Exposition, the 1937-38 Great Lakes Exposition in Cleveland, the1939-40 New York World’s Fair, and the 1939-40 Golden Gate Exposition in San Francisco. It also includes songs from two movies filmed on location at the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition in Dallas. Songs by some of America’s finest composers, such as George and Ira Gershwin, Dana Suesse (“the female Gershwin”), and Nobel Sissle, are included in the program

In addition to Dawn of a New Day, the Art Deco Society of Washington’s World’s Fair Weekend includes a bus tour of Washington’s Art Deco Architecture including a visit to the New Deal town of Greenbelt, Maryland and other activities.

For tickets or additional details about the concert and other weekend activities go to www.adsw.org or phone 703-568-3745. Concert tickets are tax deductible.

Symphony Lounge: Jazz Band meets Classical Orchestra

The Capital City Symphony presents
SYMPHONY LOUNGE
a special collaboration with
Charlie Barnett and Chaise Lounge

It's jazz! It's classical! It's SYMPHONY LOUNGE – a unique joint venture of the Capital City Symphony and Charlie Barnett's Chaise Lounge.

Sunday, March 21^st at 5:00pm
at the Atlas Performing Arts Center,
1333 H Street NE, Washington, DC.
Tickets $16-$25. Ages 16 and under FREE (ticket required).
202-399-7993 or capitalcitysymphony.tix.com.

CCS and Charlie Barnett collaborated several years ago on Mr. Barnett's symphony “The Blue Chevrolet.” Ever since then, Mr. Barnett and CCS Artistic Director Victoria Gau have been exploring the possibility of a larger collaboration. Mr. Barnett proposed two halves to the program. First, a world premier of his new orchestral work “The Tarot.” Second, full orchestrations of his jazz arrangements for Chaise Lounge and the Capital City Symphony.

As a film composer, Mr. Barnett’s scores have appeared in more than four hundred television and theatrical films. His concert music career includes worldwide performances of his orchestral and chamber works. He has also arranged and produced pop and jazz records for countless artists; and he continues to proudly play with the eclectic lounge band, Chaise Lounge, whose second album was released in early 2009. Mr. Barnett can also be heard as an occasional commentator on NPR. [Read more at http://www.charliebarnett.com/about.html.]

Chaise Lounge performs a blend of music that sounds like it was recorded at Capitol Recording Studios in 1962 and somehow found its way to today’s pop charts. You might call it “Early Stereo.” Or perhaps Lounge with a capital “L.” Or maybe just plain enjoyable. It is the combination of five of the Washington area’s top jazz musicians playing sparkling arrangements of standards and original tunes and featuring the soft, luminous vocals of Marilyn Older. Her voice is truly an American Original. An evening spent with her is an evening spent in the warm, inviting glow of the one of the wonderful voices singing in America right now.

Now in its 42^nd season, the Capital City Symphony, one of the original Arts Partners at the Atlas, makes music approachable by presenting affordable concerts to the public, performing creative programs in a relaxed concert format, and providing appealing performance opportunities for talented amateur as well as professional players.
