The American Classical Orchestra has joined in on celebrating indoor concerts and will be performing an all-Mozart program at Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center on December 14th, titled “Restore.”
Alice Tully Hall and Julliard School
New York City’s foremost period instrument orchestra is back in Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall conducted by the Orchestra’s Founder and Artistic Director Thomas Crawford and includes the composer’s substantial masterpiece, the Sinfonia Concertante for Violin and Viola. In Crawford’s piece he’ll feature soloists Aisslinn Nosky, violin, and Maureen Murchie, viola. Later he’ll feature the Flute and Harp Concerto with harpist Parker Ramsay and flutist Emi Ferguson, in addition to Mozart’s popular Symphony No. 29.
We’ll hear from harpist Parker Ramsay and the Handel and Haydn Society’s Principal Flutist Emi Fergusonfirst on Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra. At just 18 years old, Mozart wrote the light-hearted Symphony No. 29 which remained a foundational piece in the composer’s career, posing as a signature of his classical style. For Sinfonia Concertante, showcase violist Maureen Munchiewill have to tune her viola a half-tone higher where Mozart wanted to create a brighter sound.
Munchie has performed on both modern and Baroque violin and viola across the US and overseas with Trinity Baroque Orchestra, Handel and Haydn Society, all the way to Broadway’s pit of Tootsie, so fortunately for her this will be an easy feat. The “a fearsomely powerful musician” violinist Aisslinn Nosky will also be a featured soloist, channeling skills she’s learned from hailed The Toronto Star, the Eybler Quartet, and being Concertmaster of the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston.

In a step up from their past holiday concert celebrations, Connecticut indie-jam darlings Goose will bring their eighth annual Goosemas show to Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday, December 18.
The past two years have seen Connecticut rockers Goose grow from a local bar band to a premiere festival headliner who are today announcing their biggest show to date.
Goosemas began as a tradition with humble roots in the basement of a Norwalk, CT music studio. While the next four years would see the band hold an intimate event inside underground venues in Norwalk, the sixth iteration of Goosemas found the band moving the event to Wall Street Theatre. During 2020, Goosemas went up to the top of Rockefeller Plaza for a Twitch exclusive livestream, drawing over 60,000 viewers worldwide,and raised over $45,000 for charity.
We’re so stoked to host Goosemas back home in Connecticut. It has truly been incredible to see how the event has grown over the past few years, and we can’t wait to do it again in front of a live audience
guitarist/vocalist Rick Mitarotonda
This year’s show will see Goose take the stage for three sets, with plenty of surprises in store for fans. Goosemas will be the last show of a highly anticipated, 19-date national fall run, with over half of the tour already sold out.
Initial tickets will be available through a lottery, with a request period running today Tuesday, August 24th at 12 PM ET through Wednesday, August 25 at 5 PM ET. Winners will be notified before the general on-sale, beginning Friday, August 27 at 10 AM ET. Venue Presale will be held on Thurs, Aug 26 @ 10am-10pm ET — password STOCKS

Pavement began in 1989 and features lead singer/guitarist, Stephen Malkmus, vocalist/guitarist Scott Kannberg, bassist Mark Ibold, drummer Steve West and percussionist/vocalist Bob Nastanovich. They’re best known for songs “Harness Your Hopes,” “Summer Babe” and “Here,” and cite Sonic Youth, Bob Dylan and The Velvet Underground as influences. The group are also highly influential themselves and have been cited as an influence by artists such as Beabadoobee, Elliot Smith, Trey Anastasio of Phish and Death Cab for Cutie.
Widely renowned as one of the most popular and influential bands to come out of the American underground in the last three decades, Pavement disbanded in 1999, and reunited in 2010 with four sold out benefit shows in Central Park. This was in addition to top billing of festivals including Coachella, Reading & Leeds, Primavera Sound and Pitchfork Festival.

The Empire State Youth Orchestra (ESYO), known regionally and nationally for engaging young musicians from Upstate New York and western Massachusetts in the joyful pursuit of musical excellence, has announced its 2021 Holiday Spectacular, Sleigh Ride, with special guest Madison Vandenburg.
The family-friendly holiday concert is scheduled for Sunday, December 19, at 3pm at Proctors in Schenectady, featuring a sleigh full of talent, including ESYO’s flagship ensemble Symphony Orchestra. They will be conducted by former ESYO Music Director Helen Cha-Pyo, the newly formed ESYO Chamber Orchestra, and the ESYO Youth Jazz Orchestra. Joining ESYO for this one night only performance is 2019 American Idol finalist Madison VanDenburg, who returns home for the holidays to premiere the orchestral version of her new single, “The Light of Christmas.”
The concert program weaves together a seasonal story by Children’s Moonbeam Book award-winning author Vicki Addesso Dodd with sparkling holiday favorites, Christmas carols, and inspired Symphonic classics.. After finding themselves aboard Santa’s sleigh, audiences travel the world seeing the holidays through the eyes of a child and the sounds of music.
Accompanying each scene is music like Leroy Anderson’s iconic Christmas jingle “Sleigh Ride,” Waldteufel’s “Skaters Waltz,” “Troika” by Prokofiev, and a jazzy arrangement of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” Also featured on the program is the famed holiday classic “(There is No Place Like) Home for the Holidays” by Glenville-native Robert Allen. Exhausted from their sleigh ride, the children fall asleep and wake up on Christmas morning to hear the orchestral premiere of Madison VanDenburg’s new hit single. In the finale, the audience is invited to join VanDenburg for a traditional carol sing-along.
Music is the best accompaniment to the holidays. The pandemic has challenged us all and kept many from seeing their families during the holiday season. We believe that our musicians and our community could use a magical sleigh ride and sparkling music to reignite the light and love of the holidays.
Rebecca Calos, Empire State Youth Orchestra’s Executive Director
Written by multi-platinum songwriters Kenny Lamb (NSYNC, Justin Timberlake, Rhett Akins) and Anthony Little (Tina Turner, Backstreet Boys, and Reba), VanDenburg immediately connected with the song. “It’s not just a Christmas song. It is also about hope and togetherness and seeing the world from a place of love,” said VanDenburg. ”Music has always been a powerful way of helping people through tough times, and after the last year and a half, I think we all need to be reminded of the light that Christmas brings and that there will be good times ahead.”
After performing at the Schenectady Tree Lighting and Holiday Parade, Madison VanDenburg will tour the U.S. with her holiday hit before returning home to unwrap a new orchestral arrangement with her hometown youth orchestra and illuminate Downtown Schenectady. With support from local recording engineer Dan Czernicki at Classical Recording Service, videographer Griffin Bengraff, and LIVE Sound Inc, Sleigh Ride will stream online in ESYO’s Virtual Concert Hall on Christmas Day.
For tickets to Sleigh Ride, An ESYO Holiday Spectacular, call Proctors Box Office at (518) 346-6204 or buy online here for $25 – group rates apply for groups of 10 or more. This concert is made possible through a grant from Schenectady County Legislature’s County Initiative Program.

As we find ourselves inching towards the light at the end of this pandemic, of course still hurdling over omicron, many shows have returned to in-person performances. Yet, Consider the Source will return back to a live stream performance for the debut of their album to cater to their worldwide fanbase on December 15 at 8pm EST.
Choosing a single city to debut the album would be selfish to Sourcerors from all over the world, we should consider ourselves lucky to hear the entirety of Hybrid Vol. 1 | Such As A Mule two full days before its official release. The stream will involve a unique collection of acoustic and electric instruments used on the album in a beautiful church converted venue, 5 Points Music Sanctuary in Roanoke, VA. A new single from the album will also be available this Friday December 5th.
What started as just one tour has led to a total of 15 years of traveling the globe sharing their unique style in hard to reach places evolving with a multitude of new diverse sounds gathered from each country visited. Today, CTS’ music is defined as soaked in Indian and Middle Eastern styles, but this December 17th we may hear styles from beyond where their tour has taken them to Germany, Israel, Turkey, and India. Because CTS may never subject themselves to the status-quo, this makes the band that much more intriguing where each record serves us something different every time.
Their true roots grew from the underbelly of NYC performing improvisational heavy sets. Judging from the sixth studio release You Are Literally a Metaphor or even considering the first two singles on the album “There Was Time Now” and “Rock, Flag, Eagle” their unbelievable releases are only a faint whisper of what this album can amount to. The album brings the full CTS exploration, with an additional host of instruments – Uyghur Dutar, Banjo Bass, Dabuka, Dombra, Ukulele Bass, Djembe and more. Cultural fusion might be a good descriptor for CTS, but in the end falls short in describing the power and creativity at play here.

NYC-based Nicotine Dolls shared their new single “Upset the Neighbors,” the latest from the group that formed in 2017 after lead vocalist Sam Cieri and lead guitarist John Hays decided to form a band after meeting on tour. Bassist John Merritt and drummer Abel Tabares joined quickly after.
The band has spent the past 4 years recording and releasing music (produced by Eric Sanderson) as well as producing their own videos. DIY touring and hometown NYC shows are always left shaking from the bands emotional raw and energetic performances. Balancing genre fluidity between alt-rock, pop, and some bits between, the band’s music is always rooted in honesty and the simple complexities of being a person.
This song is two people keeping veering away and distracting themselves from the issues inherent between them. I brought this one to the band feeling like it was right up our alley, big exhilarating sounds tied onto the inevitable weight of the topic. We went in wanting to chase the distraction part of the story, the fun and the show. So, we take that grounding and then thought, what if “I believe in a thing called love” by The Darkness was covered by a 2007 pop punk band? It’s always a good sign if these are the questions you are asking.
Sam Cieri
Nicotine Dolls have three shows planned at Rockwood Music Hall in NYC, with more information available here.
Nicotine Dolls Tour Dates
Jan 13 – New York, NY – Rockwood Music Hall Feb 17 – New York, NY – Rockwood Music Hall Mar 17 – New York, NY – Rockwood Music Hall
On December 10, the band released the music video for “Upset the Neighbors” which can be seen below.
Our videos are the other half of what we do and we have a lot of fun making them ourselves. The goal for this was to double down on the fun and make something that didn’t take itself too seriously (like those great Foo Fighters videos). We spent two days creating and filming chaos in our friends apartments and it will go down as the most fun we have had making a video so far. This video is meant to make you smile and laugh and feel good because after the year and a half we have all had that’s what we all (including this band) need.
