SUMMARY:PineCone Beginners’ Bluegrass Jam
DESCRIPTION:This jam is open to all musicians\, not only beginners! It is a learning jam\, though\, to help those who are still learning the basics of bluegrass music and playing with other musicians. It is open to participants of all ages and abilities. This is a great opportunity for participants to learn basic jam etiquette before jumping into a traditional jam. We’ll spend the first hour playing together in a single large group\, stopping frequently to discuss the songs. The second hour\, we like to break off into two smaller groups and put our new jam skills into practice! \nFacilitator Jef Walter is a local musician who plays with Hank Smith & the Beer & Banjos All-Stars (every Tuesday at The Raleigh Times Bar) and other groups; he also mentors The Loblollies youth bluegrass band.

SUMMARY:Shakespeare in the Park: Othello
DESCRIPTION:Free outdoor Shakespeare comes to Raleigh! The “green-ey’d monster” rears its ugly head in William Shakespeare’s classic tale of jealousy\, love\, and prejudice. Noble Moorish general Othello\, secretly married to his beloved Desdemona\, chooses his friend Cassio for a promotion rather than his trusted but duplicitous ensign\, Iago. Enraged\, Iago weaves a complex scheme that spirals into a frenzy of suspicion\, ultimately leading to tragic acts of violence and irreversible loss. \nThis gripping 90-minute production preserves the classic language and core story of the full play\, making it perfect for an afternoon of culture and entertainment for couples and busy families. Performances are at 1:00 and 4:00. \nTickets are free but reservations are recommended. Reserve your tickets at this link: https://switchtheatreco.ludus.com/index.php

SUMMARY:Shakespeare in the Park: Othello
DESCRIPTION:Free outdoor Shakespeare comes to Raleigh! The “green-ey’d monster” rears its ugly head in William Shakespeare’s classic tale of jealousy\, love\, and prejudice. Noble Moorish general Othello\, secretly married to his beloved Desdemona\, chooses his friend Cassio for a promotion rather than his trusted but duplicitous ensign\, Iago. Enraged\, Iago weaves a complex scheme that spirals into a frenzy of suspicion\, ultimately leading to tragic acts of violence and irreversible loss. \nThis gripping 90-minute production preserves the classic language and core story of the full play\, making it perfect for an afternoon of culture and entertainment for couples and busy families. \nPerformances at 1:00 and 4:00 \nTickets are free but reservations are recommended.

SUMMARY:Old-Time Banjo Workshop with Laura Boosinger
DESCRIPTION:Learn old-time banjo from Laura Boosinger. She’ll also open for Della Mae’s Down Home Concert in Fletcher Opera Theater in the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts on May 16. \nThis workshop is part of a series designed to support traditional artists from the 26 counties in Western North Carolina impacted by Hurricane Helene. As the storm rampaged through Western North Carolina last September\, traditional music was among the cultural treasures it threatened. Popular gathering spots for music-making were damaged or destroyed\, and in some cases folks lost beloved instruments to the floods. But like so much else in that region\, the music found a way to keep going\, and PineCone is happy to play a part. Several of our 2025 Down Home Concerts will feature an opening set by Western North Carolina traditional musicians\, showcasing both the music and its unstoppable spirit. The visiting musicians will also host workshops like this one to teach their skills to players in the Piedmont\, focusing on ballad singing\, old-time banjo\, old-time fiddle\, and bluegrass fiddle. \nLearn more about Laura Boosinger here.

SUMMARY:Private Cathedral album release show (with Lalitree Darnielle)
DESCRIPTION:The Pinhook presents an album release show for Private Cathedral\, with Lalitree Darnielle supporting. All ages early show. \nPrivate Cathedral are a transatlantic art-pop band dreamed up by multi-instrumentalists Wendy Spitzer and Genevieve Dawson. From North Carolina (USA) and Scotland\, respectively\, Wendy and Genevieve draw on baroque pop\, art-rock\, and chamber music to produce a sound that’s at once borderless and unbothered by convention. Their debut offering was recorded by engineer Missy Thangs at Mitch Easter’s Fidelitorium\, a legendary NC studio. The self-titled album is joyful\, fierce\, symbolically dense\, and musically ambitious – a show of bravura\, a tour de force of fearless friendship\, a soundtrack to a mood film that has yet to be made. \nPrivate Cathedral creates music for brainy iconoclasts with big feelings. For lovers of Tune-Yards\, My Brightest Diamond\, Nick Cave\, Cate Le Bon\, and Kate Bush. \nhttps://barchandunerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/private-cathedral \nFOREST FIRES by Lalitree Darnielle – Lush\, unconventional\, delicate\, and alluring\, Forest Firesexplores how the natural world embodies and reflects the themes of human desire and longing. Using instruments such as violin\, viola\, and cello layered with electronics\, drums\, and electric guitars\, these songs reach across genres and eras to pull listeners in. \nOn “Bodies Of Water”:“a beautiful song and production…the string arrangement—and blend of acoustic and synthesized strings—is incredible.” – Robert Schneider (Apples in Stereo/Neutral Milk Hotel \nhttps://ffm.to/bodiesofwater
