Buffalo Rose is a wildly charismatic 6-piece Americana/ bluegrass band that combines acoustic genres to produce fresh material that never loses sight of its roots. They use powerful male and female vocal harmonies, strong string playing, and exhilarating stage presence to go from up and moving to sad and sweet. They are the 2022 Grand Prize Winner of the Folk Alliance’s Overall Acoustic Music Award. Music Editor Henry Carrigan adds “Listening to Buffalo Rose is like driving on the open road with the windows down, letting the breeze wash over you and leaving you breathless.”

Ensemble Aubade performs vivid chamber music by European and American composers for flute, viola and piano (Peter H. Bloom, flute; Francis Grimes, viola; and Steven Sussman, piano). The esteemed ensemble, based in Boston, concertizes across the United States, winning praise for stellar musicianship, vibrant performances, and engaging residencies.
