Dedham School of Music Announces Upcoming Events

From the Dedham School of Music:

The Dedham School of Music would like to invite the community to attend several upcoming events.

Open Studios on May 7th & 8th

Mother Brook Arts & Community Center will be having an Open Studios this weekend on Saturday, May 7th and Sunday, May 8th. Not only is this a great opportunity to see some local artists and their artwork, but DSM will be there with faculty and student performances as well as additional activities like an instrument petting zoo.

Stop by between 12:00pm and 4:00pm each day to see our talented faculty and students play a variety of classical pieces!

DSM Concert with the Parkway Concert Orchestra: Sunday, May 15, 3:00-4:00pm at Saint Susanna Parish

This concert will feature students of Dedham School of Music in Pachabel's Canon in D. Violinist Caroline Dwyer, a student of the Dedham School of Music and winner of DSM's Concerto Competition, will perform the Allegretto from Violin Concerto No. 2 by Seitz.

Bluegrass Slow Jam: Tuesday, May 17, 7:30-9:00pm at MBACC

Designed for novice players, Bluegrass beginners, and “re-entry” players alike on traditional instruments like guitar, mandolin, and fiddle . . . and ukes are welcome, too!

To have the most fun, here's what we suggest you bring along with you:

• your willingness to play - "All Are Welcome" and we support everyone
• $5 or $10 or even $20 - we "pass the hat" to help pay our rent at the MBACC
• your instrument - guitar, fiddle, uke, mandolin, whatever acoustic your fingers like
• a Bluegrass state of mind - yes, this is a Bluegrass Jam

Here are examples of the kinds of 2 and 3 chord songs we play (nice and slow):

• Rollin' in my Sweet Baby's Arms
• Long Black Veil
• I Am A Pilgrim
• Will the Circle Be Unbroken
• Blue Moon of Kentucky
• Sittin' On Top of the World
• Keep on the Sunny Side
• Darlin' Maggie

Artist in Residence Duo Concert: Sunday, May 22, from 3:00-4:00pm at St. Paul's Episcopal Church

The last concert of our 2015-16 Artist in Residence Duo series is sure to be a special one! Our Artist in Residence have worked with a student who will join them in this great performance featuring music by Paganini, Haydn, and Borodin.

Be sure to come see the talented Artist in Residence Duo and student Sophia Berry perform in this free concert.
