The Shriver Hall Concert Series presents the distinguished pianist Marc-André Hamelin in recital on Sunday afternoon, January 27th at 5:30 pm at Shriver Hall, 3400 North Charles Street #105, in Baltimore, MD. A pre-concert lecture by Dr. Richard Giarusso will take place at 4:30 pm in the Clipper Room, upstairs from the Shriver Hall lobby.
Mr. Hamelin has been long renowned for his thoughtful approach to musicianship and the technical mastery that he displays in his performances. As senior editor and critic James Oestreich of The New York Times states, “The pianist Marc-André Hamelin is fearless. No successful performer can afford to show fear from the stage, but with Mr. Hamelin, fearlessness is something more: a positive attribute, a confident calm that he exudes even while unleashing volcanic eruptions of sound and emotion.”
Tickets are $39 and are available by calling 410-516-7164 or visiting www.shriverconcerts.org

Glass Mind Theatre’s annual interactive Brainstorm festival will transform itself into a one-night-only Pub Lab edition for Brainstorm 4: Of Myth and Legend! Local artists come together for an infusion of monologues, scenes and more generated from the ideas YOU suggested.
Based on our season theme of “Classics Resketched”, we asked our friends to Facebook, Tweet or e-mail us the classic characters or personas you’d like to see inspire a new piece of art. See what creation have been sparked. And seriously, when else will you be able to catch Aaron Burr, Hal 9000, Batman’s Robin and Rocky & Bullwinkle’s Boris & Natasha hanging in one place?
Baltimore Performance Kitchen and CENTERSTAGE have joined forces to create a platform for Baltimore performing artists and companies to showcase, workshop, and explore new artistic ideas—beer in hand. All pub labs are FREE and held at Liam Flynn’s.
