At The Parish House
The 2023 Fall & Winter Season
The ever-popular Dixie Rhythm jazz band returns, and will play on the front porch of Emmanuel Church’s Parish House to delight everyone with their toe-tapping repertoire of all-time Dixieland jazz favorites.
The band dazzles with jazz classics like “Basin Street Blues”, “Ain’t Misbehavin”, and of course, “When the Saints Come Marchin’ In”. Band members interlace the program with historical notes and funny stories that help you catch your breath between the flood of tunes.
Chairs under tents will await on the lawn. If the weather looks dodgy, the concert will move inside the Parish House.
To reserve a seat, call 540 687-6297. A $10 donation is suggested, but no one is turned away. Let the good times roll!
All Hallow’s Eve is creeping up on us. Give your costume a test run at the Fifth Annual “Halloween Songs & Stories” special in Middleburg.
Join ghouls, goblins, superheroes, unicorns, you name it, for Halloween silliness, fun songs and spooky stories (Headless Horseman, “Monster Mash,” and so much more).
Everyone in costume gets a bag of Halloween treats and can join a noisy indoor parade.
Reservations are not required but are encouraged. To reserve seats, call 540-687-6297. There’s a $10 suggested donation, but no one will be turned away. Join the party and definitely wear your Halloween costume!
Your Favorite Songs from the 50s, 60s & 70s
Native Loudoun County trio, Moon Music, forged a partnership almost a decade ago, with its signature nuanced three-part harmony vocal sound, backed by beguiling piano, acoustic guitar and percussion arrangements.
The trio arranges unique and sensitive "original covers,” creating something fresh and suited to the trio's own vocal blend and instrumentation, rather than simply duplicating the original.
Moon Music is known for different takes and "unlikely covers" for a vocal trio on songs by Pink Floyd, U2, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, John Denver, and many others.
Reservations are not required but are encouraged. To reserve seats, call 540-687-6297. There’s a $10 suggested donation, but no one will be turned away!
For decades a talented band of Celtic musicians has played to sold-out audiences in Virginia with brilliant renditions of Irish and Scottish songs and tunes.
The band will sing and play many Christmas specials such as “I Saw Three Ships” and “Pat-a Pan,” and a variety of year-round Celtic favorites. Instruments accompanying their energetic voices will be the accordion, Irish flute and whistle, Uilleann pipes, bodhran, guitar, violin and viola.
Reservations are recommended, but not required (540-687-6297). A suggested donation of $20, but no one is turned away from this immensely popular Middleburg Christmas concert!
