On Saturday, February 17th at 11:00 AM, Dr. Ceylon Mitchell (flute) and Dr. Felipe Garibaldi (guitar) perform duo works by Brazilian American Clarice Assad, a Grammy nominated composer renowned for her evocative colors, rich textures, and diverse stylistic range. “Tríptico (Triptych)” is a three-movement suite inspired by popular Brazilian rhythmic concepts such as frevo, choro, and canção. “As Cores de Tomie” is a collection of four songs inspired by works and concepts of Japanese-Brazilian artist Tomie Ohtake (1913-2015).
Our concerts are a hybrid of many elements, combining a modern symphonic orchestra with synchronized lighting and visual animations. Our featured artists are nationally acclaimed and play with top artists like Beyonce, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, and Justin Timberlake. We blend genres of music for a diverse listening experience and interact with our audiences through fun educational demonstrations.
Let’s just say this is not your typical “orchestra” concert, and it’s the first of its kind on the Eastern Shore! You don’t want to miss this event! Family-friendly and for all ages.
FREE ADMISSION! Our concerts sell out, so reserve your tickets! Doors open at 6 pm.

Joshua Jenkins has been playing the piano since he was seven years old and began performing in public at the age of twelve. A proud alum of the Duke Ellington School of the Arts, he holds a Bachelor of Music from Temple University, where he also majored in Spanish. Alongside fellow Ellington students, he performed on stage at the Kennedy Center and Strathmore Music Center with such artists as Ledisi, Patti LaBelle, and Sting. While studying in Philadelphia, he gave various classical solo and chamber recitals and worked with several jazz ensembles.
An ever-growing multi-instrumentalist, Joshua studied pipe organ for several years under the tutelage of organist Clyde T. Parker, having performed numerous times on this instrument at People’s Congregational Church in Washington, DC. Joshua was the Jazz Ensemble Director of CAAPA (the Coalition for African Americans in the Performing Arts) from 2018 to 2020. He has a keen interest in Afro-Cuban drumming and has visited Cuba several times to conduct research and take lessons.
