FROM THE ARTISTS:
As full-time performers of original music, this program would allow us to present our unique blend of traditional folk styles with contemporary themes and techniques to a new audience. With decades of experience performing and training in a variety of styles from classical to rock, we offer listeners the opportunity to step into a different kind of listening experience where genres are blended and bent to create something that sticks with people.
$10 suggested donation at the door. Cash or Credit Card
Notes about Huron Stage: https://www.instagram.com/huronstagemusicvenue/
Huron Stage is an outdoor venue in the Tuscaloosa-Lakewood neighborhood of Durham. It is behind a small bungalow, in their double-lot backyard and parking for the venue is on the street. You may park on both sides of the street but please do not block any driveways. There is a covered stage for the performers, and many picnic tables/benches around the stage on a mostly shaded lawn and you may opt to bring a lawn chair or blanket. This is a family-oriented space and neighbors typically bring food and drink for the audience to enjoy for free. Also, you might want to wear some bug spray but know we will have some available for you to use.
Regrettably, it is currently not handicapped accessible although I know the owner, Josh Glasson, is working to make it so. There are a few steps down to the backyard which is relatively easy to negotiate but will not accommodate a wheelchair. There is an indoor restroom and a small indoor performance space in case of rain. If it looks like severe weather forecast we will cancel the performance and reschedule it for later in the summer. We’ll post a cancellation on the homepage of our website, www.mallarmemusic.org, on Mallarme’s FaceBook page, and on the office phone message @ 919-560-2788 by 5:30 pm.
READ THE PRESS RELEASE: Mallarmé 2024 Dynamic Duos Announcement FINAL
What is Dynamic Duos? In the fall of 2020, Mallarmé’s board spearheaded a new directive to diversify offerings both musically and via the personnel who perform in our concerts. Couldn’t our performances better reflect our community?
The goal of the Dynamic Duo Call for Talent is to discover new (or new to us) North Carolina musical talent and to expand on the style and genre of our usual programming. North Carolina musicians of any type, including jazz, folk, and rock were asked to apply, especially members of the LBGTQIA+, African American and Latinx communities. Applicants were asked to propose a 60-minute program and to provide artist bios and musical examples of the specific artists. Performers were chosen on the strength of their proposed program, musical samples and, most importantly, the way they interact with one another. Four groups were picked to perform this year – 3 during June 2024 as part of the Dynamic Duo Mini-Festival, and the last group will perform in the fall.
