Archives hold many mysteries waiting to be uncovered. An unlabeled photograph, an anonymous diary, or a forgotten manuscript can open new windows into the past. In this program, Baltimore-based ensemble Ann Street Trio will bring music and archives together to explore how works and their creators are remembered, overlooked, and rediscovered.
Featuring chamber music by Louise Farrenc, Ferdinand Ries, and Carl Fruhling, the performance will examine the connections between musical memory and archival discovery. A one-night-only display of rare archival treasures recently unearthed or researched by Sheridan Libraries & University Museums archivists will extend these themes beyond the stage, inviting audiences to experience the thrill of discovery firsthand.
The In the Stacks Concert Series at the Johns Hopkins Sheridan Libraries and University Museums offers an informal, dynamic way for audiences to engage with music and performance art. Throughout the year, this concert series activates Baltimore’s iconic George Peabody Library—a glorious space with five tiers of cast-iron balconies that soar up to a latticed spotlight—with art, music, dance, film, drama, and more. Join us for up-close, unforgettable experiences with musicians and performance artists who are thinking outside the box.
