Riversdale Chamber Music Society Concert: Ceylon Mitchell

The Riversdale Chamber Music Society is back for another season of concerts at Riversdale House Museum! Join us October 6 for an afternoon with Ceylon Mitchell, Flutist. He’s a professional musician, arts entrepreneur, educator, and arts advocate. During National Hispanic Heritage Month, Ceylon and his acclaimed ensemble will demonstrate the unique development of Western-European classical flute music in the Latin American countries of Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Brazil.

Throughout this classical crossover program, audiences will enjoy the sounds of formalized Western virtuosic writing, the improvisation and complexity of distinct national musical styles, as well as the African rhythms, harmonic progressions and flowing melodies of Caribbean music. Ceylon is currently a Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) flute candidate at the University of Maryland School of Music in College Park, MD.

Featuring:
Elizabeth Hill, Piano
Tom Rohde, Guitar,
Lucas Ashby, Percussion
Johnny Walker Jr., Cello
Pablo Regis, Cavaquinho

The concert is FREE and guests are welcome to join the artists after the performance for a reception. Make it an afternoon at Riversdale with a tour of the historic home prior to performances. Tour admission is $5 adults/$4 seniors/$2 students/FREE children 4 & under.

This project is supported by the Prince George’s Arts and Humanities Council (Prince Georges). #ceylonmitchell
