Fall Concert Series

Just because the performances have moved inside, doesn't mean they're any less amazing! Chase away the autumn chill at one of our fall concerts. 

Saturday, October 24th - The Tropical Gems: "The Tropical Gems kick off the Fall Concert Series with a mix of reggae, jazz, calypso and steel drum music.  They combine covers of classics by the likes of Bob Marley and Harry Belafonte along with original tunes. Be transported to the Caribbean with the sounds of the Tropical Gems."

Saturday, November 7 - Michael Hession and Caleb Seibert: "Michael Hession and Caleb Seibert make a crisp fall afternoon that much more enjoyable with classical guitar music. The beautiful, intricate music pieces are a great addition to anyone's day."

Saturday, November 21 - The Baker Brothers: "The Baker Brothers round out the Fall Music Series with jazz. This quartet, consisting of guitar, piano, drums and upright bass also features a tribute to great American jazz guitarist, Wes Montgomery."

Children, seniors, and military get in for $7.00, with adult tickets at $10.00 - children under 3 are free! 

Smithsonian Museum Day will be celebrated on September 26th - celebrate with a trip to one of our local museums! A list of museums who will be participating in the free admission program is available at the Smithsonian Magazine Website.

And we polled the staff - here's what they had to say about their favorite part of autumn:

"All things apple & cinnamon, fall foliage, fresh fall air cooler."

"Pumpkin food, drink, candles. Also, actual pumpkins."

"Infinate Fall cocktail at Gracie's restaurant. Also, my dog Alice is happier in cooler weather. Actually, I don't like fall. Or winter."

"I sweat ever-so-slightly less."

"Apple picking, carving pumpkins, building a Halloween gingerbread house."

Reading in the Hall - September 2015

This month, we will discuss The Submission by Amy Waldman. -- "A jury chooses a memorial for the victims of a devastating terrorist attack on Manhattan, only to learn that the anonymous designer is an American Muslim.. His selection reverberates across a divided, traumatized country and, more intimately, through individual lives.  A story of clashing convictions and emotions, and a cunning satire of political ideals, The Submission is a resonant novel for our times."  The club meets on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 6:30PM.
