Wine & Music Triptych Part 2 of 3: German & Austrian Wines

Musicians of Ma’alwyck is delighted to continue its Wine & Music Triptych, a series of evenings focusing on the wines of one country, paired with delectable appetizers from a local restaurant and a musical "course." Our second installment of the series, featuring wines from Germany and Austria and food from Rolf’s Pork Store, takes place Friday, November 10 from 6-8:30 PM at the historic Woman’s Club of Albany. This venue is a beautiful 1895 house recently refurbished most magnificently for filming HBO's The Gilded Age.

The second installment in this series will focus on wines from Germany and Austria. Each tasting will be paired with a delicious appetizer from Albany’s own Rolf's Pork Store, meant to compliment the wine, and a musical “course.” Joshua Turo, sommelier and managing partner at Yono's dp/An American Brasserie is once again our "oeno-guide" for a journey through the outstanding but little known wines of the riversides and valleys of the Rhine and Danube, as well as the Burgenland.

RSVP by November 6 as seats are limited to 40 spots. Tickets are $125 – must be 21 or older to purchase. To buy tickets, visit https://musiciansofmaalwyck.org/home.

ABOUT THE MUSICIANS OF MA’ALWYCK
Musicians of Ma’alwyck are a flexible-sized classical chamber music ensemble. The mission of Musicians of Ma’alwyck is to share history through music. Founded in 1999 by violinist and director Ann-Marie Barker Schwartz, the purpose of Musicians of Ma’alwyck is to cultivate and promote an understanding and appreciation for American, particularly New York State, life in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries through the performance of chamber ensemble music at historic sites and concert venues in collaboration with other artistic organizations. Based in the Capital Region but performing throughout New York State, the ensemble serves a diverse audience of music lovers, history enthusiasts, and supporters of the arts. Core musicians include Ann-Marie Barker Schwartz, director and violin; Norman Thibodeau, flute; Sten Isachsen, guitar; André Laurent O’Neil, cello. The group frequently works with guest artists of national stature.

Musicians of Ma’alwyck produce several concerts and online programs each year, combining archival research, historic sites in New York State, and classical music. They have been in residence at the Schuyler Mansion in Albany for over twenty years, and are currently holding residencies at SUNY-Schenectady and Hyde Hall, a historic house museum in Cooperstown, NY. The ensemble released its first commercial CD in 2016, Music in the Schuyler Mansion, which the Times Union called “elegant and charming,” and their second in 2021, Hyde Hall & the Silver Goddess: Operatic Brilliance of Auber, Bellini, Meyerbeer, and Rossini from the Drawing Room.
