About À la carte

À la carte is a concert series – now in our seventh season! – featuring a buffet of music from every genre, style, epoch and culture. The concerts are free and open to a public excited to hear a wide assortment of music from various genres and styles, performed by some of the area’s best musicians. We welcome a wide-ranging audience, from the music aficionado to the merely curious.

At an À la carte concert, anything is possible. Expect something old (early music), something new (premieres!), something borrowed (world music) or something blue (jazz and popular music).

 

 

À la carte presents an extensive array of ensembles and artists, representing music of all types, including classical repertoire, jazz and world music. We seek to promote musical selections not often heard, purposely mixing styles and genres under the inclusive philosophy that all well-crafted music is valuable and worthy of presentation to the public.

In our past five seasons, we have hosted world music performers from Libya, Argentina and China, jazz musicians and ensembles from the area, performed concert music from ca. 1100 to the present (including premieres!), played popular music and cross-cultural arrangements, featured emerging artists and established professionals and more. All with many of the “cream the of crop” (Classical Voice North Carolina) of musicians in North Carolina and beyond.

Every concert is unique and every concert is intended for anyone who is hungry for something different. Be prepared for anything from the raucous to the deeply moving. Join us to see what we do next!

À la carte is directed by Clara O’Brien, internationally recognized mezzo-soprano and University of North Carolina at Greensboro professor of voice and Dr. Lance Hulme, professor of music at North Carolina Central University and prize-winning composer, with many international performances to his credit. Previously, they led Ensemble Surprise, a European performance group featuring “700 years of new music”. More about the directors can be found at www.claraobrien.com and www.lancehulme.com.

Together with Prof. O’Brien and Dr. Hulme, À la carte draws only on the finest professional performers from the Triad and Triangle areas and beyond. We also aim to promote young, emerging artists who are of the highest quality seeking an entrée into the music profession.

When David is not working with clients on financial and investment-related issues, he is likely at home relaxing with his family, watching sports, reading a good book…and perhaps enjoying a cocktail as well.
