Afternoon Tea was one of the English traditions Lucie Rosen, founder of Caramoor, enjoyed during her time living in England in the early 1910s. She kept up the practice of inviting friends and guests to tea for many years, using the time for conversation and for planning concerts and other social events.

Tea is served in the Music Room, a unique opportunity for you to relax with friends and family in a breathtaking historic setting, featuring a large portrait of Lucie herself. The service includes a variety of tea sandwiches, scones with créme fraiche and preserves, delicious desserts, and a selection of fragrant teas.

Self-Guided Rosen House Tours (included with ticket) / Following the tea, you will also have a chance to visit select rooms of the Rosen House starting at 2:00pm, until 3:30pm.

Ekep Nkwelle
The meaning of Ekep Nkwelle’s name (pronounced [Eh-kep In-kweh-leh]) perfectly describes her: a gift. Her rich, soulful voice soars delivering timeless messages to audiences with power and confidence.

To develop and master her talent, the Washington, DC-born Cameroonian-American vocalist has trained at world-renowned institutes, such as Duke Ellington High School of the Arts, Howard University (BA), and The Juilliard School (MM).

At Howard, she trained with master jazz pianist, Cyrus Chestnut. With Chestnut’s guidance, Ekep tapped into the blues as an essential language for story-telling. The two would go on to perform together at Dizzy’s Jazz Club in New York and record a duet of the late DC saxophonist, Buck Hill’s “The Sad Ones” (lyrics written by Nkwelle to Buck Hill’s tenor saxophone solo).

Lauded for her roles in Howard University’s premier vocal jazz ensemble, Afro Blue, where she was the lead soloist for four years, and the trio group The Soul Sistas, Nkwelle’s collaborations continued after moving from the nation’s capital to “The Big Apple.”

She has performed with venerable artists, such as world-renowned classical pianist, Lang Lang at Radio City Music Hall and The Smithsonian Jazz Orchestra as well as jazz masters Russell Malone and Peter Washington at The Library of Congress. She also plays and travels extensively with powerhouse jazz bassist and rising star, Endea Owens. Ekep has graced the stages of The Kennedy Center, Blues Alley, Dizzy’s Jazz Club, The Carr Center, and The Strathmore, among others. She has appeared at multiple jazz festivals and events, including the Newport Jazz Festival, Montclair Jazz Festival, Hudson Jazz Festival, Jazz on the Narrows (opening for Cecile McLorin Salvant), and DC Jazz Fest (opening for Regina Carter).

Some achievements include being one of 15 students inducted into the highly selective 2023 Juilliard Career Advancement Fellowship bestowed upon her through nomination by jazz master trumpeter, Wynton Marsalis and Juilliard Jazz assistant director, Dr. Aaron Flagg. In 2022, she performed on NPR’s Music’s Tiny Desk concert series, singing her arrangement of Geri Allen’s “Timeless Portraits & Dreams.” This same year, Nkwelle placed First Runner-Up in The Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Voice Competition, ahead of almost 300 contestants representing 27 countries. She has also secured a coveted spot in triple Grammy and Tony award-winner, Dee Dee Bridgewater’s The Woodshed Network artist residency program for women in Jazz.

A unique vessel harnessing a great gift, Nkwelle has become one of Jazz at Lincoln Center’s latest rising stars. An in-demand artist, Ekep is rapidly being recognized as part of the promising “future of jazz.” Through her artistry, Nkwelle shares her passion for Black music, history, and culture with listeners worldwide.

Abel Selaocoe, cello
2023-10-22 15:00 - 17:00
Witness the extraordinary talent of genre-bending South African cellist Abel Selaocoe, whose programs seamlessly blend Western and non-Western musical traditions. Dedicated to broadening the horizons of classical music to reach a more diverse audience, his program will include works by Bach and Selaocoe alongside original free improvisations which combine his virtuosic solo cello playing with singing and body percussion, creating a musical experience like no other.

Read his New York Times feature article here.

“Cellist, singer, composer, and collaborator, Selaocoe inhabits a captivating sphere of spontaneous, mercurial creativity.” – BBC Music

“Here’s a star in the making, a brilliant instrumentalist, an inventive singer, and an assured performer who can draw the audience into the palm of his hand, and then start playing it – getting us all to hum in C as he wove the Prelude from Bach’s Cello Suite 3 around us to thrilling effect. We’re going to hear a lot more from Abel Selaocoe.” – The Arts Desk

About the Artist
South African cellist Abel Selaocoe has established himself as a leading voice of reimagining classical music. Redefining the parameters of the cello, he moves seamlessly across a plethora of genres and styles, from collaborations with world and jazz musicians, to concertos and solo performances. Selaocoe combines virtuosic performance with improvisation, singing, and body percussion, and is devoted to composing works and curating programs that highlight the links between Western and non-Western musical traditions, broadening the horizons of classical music to reach a more diverse audience. In 2023 he was awarded the RPS Instrumentalist Award for his performances and collaborations which “blaze with creation, sending audiences home on a high.”

Selaocoe thrives in exploratory settings, developing new projects with contemporaries, and enjoys close collaborations with musicians from a medley of genres, including Bernhard Schimpelsberger, Seckou Keita, Manchester Collective, Giovanni Sollima, Dudù Kouaté, and Nduduzo Makhathini. In 2016, Selaocoe formed Chesaba — a trio specializing in music from the African continent, including many of his own compositions — and in 2022 he formed the Bantu Ensemble who perform his music widely.

Selaocoe is Artistic Partner of The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and Artist-in-Association with both the BBC Singers and BBC National Orchestra of Wales, performing with each several times across the season. Selaocoe also continues to perform his solo cello concerto Four Spirits widely in 2023-24 with performances with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra at EFG London Jazz Festival, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, and Philharmonie Zuidnederlands.

In 2023-24 he makes his debut at Caramoor, Edinburgh International Festival, Wiener Konzerthaus, Luxembourg Philharmonie, Konzerthaus Berlin, and with Sphinx Virtuosi, alongside returns to Carnegie Hall, Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, de Singel Antwerp, Britten Sinfonia, and tours to the US with Manchester Collective and to the UK and Europe with his Bantu Ensemble.

Selaocoe completed his International Artist Diploma at the Royal Northern College of Music in July 2018. In May 2021, he was announced as an inaugural Power Up Music Creator participant in PRS Foundation’s new initiative to address anti-Black racism and racial disparities in the music sector. In July 2021, he received a Paul Hamlyn Foundation award for his compositional work.

Alisa Amador
2023-11-03 20:00 - 20:30
When experiencing the effortless maturity of Alisa Amador firsthand, you’ll be forgiven for thinking she’s been at the forefront of the contemporary singer-songwriter scene for years. In fact, her arrival came after winning the 2022 NPR Tiny Desk Contest, and once again that contest has cast a deserved spotlight on a rising star. Singing in both Spanish and English, weaving captivating narratives with her charming voice and self-possessed presence, Amador’s jazz-tinged, poetic songcraft makes her a worthy modern torchbearer for the likes of Joni Mitchell and Norah Jones.

“Alisa Amador is a pitch-perfect rendition of my wildest dreams.” – Cyrena Touros, NPR All Songs Considered

About the Artist

Alisa Amador

Alisa Amador is a bilingual singer-songwriter and the winner of the 2022 NPR Tiny Desk Contest. Amador’s music is a synthesis of the many styles she has voraciously absorbed: rock, jazz, funk, and alternative folk, all wrapped in the spirit of the Latin music she grew up with. NPR’s Cyrena Touros calls her “a pitch-perfect rendition of my wildest dreams,” and NPR’s Bob Boilen calls her “a powerful voice whose tender performance commands attention and fosters connection.” Amidor released her debut EP, Narratives, in 2021, and she has spent the last year touring the globe. She has opened for many artists including Hozier, Lake Street Dive, Madison Cunningham, Watchhouse, Hiss Golden Messenger, and countless others. Amidor’s soulful singing, poetically incisive lyrics, and syncopated rhythms are likely to make you cry, laugh, and dance all within one set.

Abeo Quartet
2023-11-12 15:00 - 17:00
The Abeo Quartet launches its year-long residency at Caramoor by delving into masterpieces by Mendelssohn and Beethoven. Also on the program is a piece by 23-year-old Iranian-American composer, Kian Ravaei, entitled The Little Things which takes its inspiration from Emily Dickinson and her passion for directing our attention toward nature’s easily overlooked wonders. Formed in 2018, Abeo is swiftly sweeping up the competition prizes and garnering critical praise worldwide. You’ll understand why their name (“ah-bey-oh”) — an expression of joy in a Nigerian dialect — perfectly encapsulates the group’s love for playing chamber music and sharing it with others.

Please stay after the performance to meet the artists and enjoy light refreshments.

About the Quartet
The Abeo Quartet, formed at Juilliard in 2018, was the inaugural Graduate String Quartet in Residence at the University of Delaware under the mentorship of the Calidore String Quartet in 2022. Abeo’s recent accomplishments include winning Third Prize at the 2023 Bad Tölz International String Quartet Competition and being among ten quartets invited to participate in the 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition in 2022. The quartet was also a First Prize and Audience Favorite Prize winner in the Yellow Springs Chamber Music Competition for Emerging Professional Ensembles and Silver Medal winner of the Chesapeake International Chamber Music Competition, both in 2022. Abeo was also a finalist in the 2021 Young Concert Artists International Competition and the silver medal winner of the 2019 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition.

One of the quartet’s earliest performances was at The Kennedy Center’s Reach Festival with distinguished pianist Joseph Kalichstein in 2019. Highlights of Abeo’s 2022-23 season included performances at Music@Menlo, Schneider Concert Series, the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival and collaborations with members of the Calidore, Dover, and Emerson string quartets.

Abeo has also appeared at Alice Tully Hall, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s masterclass series with the Danish String Quartet, and on WQXR’s Midday Masterpieces. Abeo was invited to perform in Norway’s 2019 Vertavo Festival, performing seven Haydn string quartets, and was in residence at the Glenstone Museum, debuting Moonshot by Alistair Coleman. The quartet has studied and performed at Music@Menlo and at the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival with the Brentano String Quartet. At the Montreal International String Quartet Academy, Abeo has been coached by members of Quatuor Ebene, Alban Berg, Takács, Artemis, Cecilia, and Meta4 String Quartets.

During their time at Juilliard, Abeo studied regularly in the Honors Chamber Music Program under the tutelage of The Juilliard String Quartet with Joseph Lin, Astrid Schween, and Roger Tapping. The quartet chose the name Abeo / ah – bey – oh / — an expression of joy in a Nigerian dialect — to reflect their love for playing chamber music and sharing it with others.

Allison Russell
2023-12-02 20:00 - 20:30
Prepare to be captivated by the raw emotion and artistry of Montreal-native Allison Russell as she shares her remarkable journey through music. Her songs — from her thrice Grammy-nominated album Outside Child, recently named the #2 Best Album of the Year by The New York Times, and her newest album The Returner (released September 2023) — will touch your soul, leaving a lasting impact long after the last note fades away. Since this special benefit concert will help support Caramoor’s programming throughout the year, your presence will also make an impact.

All are invited to post-show reception. Dinner and concert ticket options are available. Contact events@caramoor.org for details.

All but $70 per ticket is tax-deductible, as provided by law. A contribution letter will be mailed. Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Please note that payment for tickets may not be made through a donor-advised fund. Ticket purchases do not count toward Membership. No refunds. Contributions are tax-deductible, as provided by law.

“But alongside her powerhouse vocals and gorgeous melodies, Russell infuses a deep scholarly curiosity into her songs — not just about the nature and power of music, but also what it can teach listeners about our world.” – The New York Times

About the Artist
Since the release of her first solo album two years ago, the self-taught singer, songwriter, poet, activist, and multi-instrumentalist, Allison Russell has redefined what artistry means in the 21st century. Outside Child, her often devastating, deeply moving, cathartic celebration of survivor’s joy, has become one of the most acclaimed albums of the past 10 years (various honors include three GRAMMY Award nominations, the Juno Award for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year, the 2022 Americana Music Association’s Album of the Year Award, two International Folk Music Awards, three Canadian Folk Music Awards, and four UK Americana Music Awards). Further still, Allison has consistently used her newfound platform to elevate, educate and inspire; curating the history making Once And Future Sounds: Roots and Revolution set for the Newport Folk Festival in 2021 and mobilizing this year’s triumphant Love Rising All-Star benefit concert in support of LGBTQIA+ causes in Nashville, are just two of the many examples where she’s raised her voice with power and purpose.

Now comes the second chapter in herstory, The Returner, a body-shaking, mind-expanding, soulful expression of Black liberation, Black love, of Black self-respect. Written and co-produced by Allison along with Dim Star (her partner JT Nero and his brother Drew Lindsay), The Returner was recorded over Solstice week in December 2022 at Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles, and features an astounding all-female musical collective Allison dubbed The Rainbow Coalition: Allison Russell (lead vocals, harmony vocals, banjo, clarinet), Chauntee Ross (SistaStrings) (harmony vocals, violin), Elenna Canlas (harmony vocals, synthesizers, keyboards, percussion), Elizabeth Pupo-Walker (percussion), Ganessa James (harmony vocals, electric bass), Joy Clark (harmony vocals, acoustic guitar), Kerenza Peacock (violin), Larissa Maestro (harmony vocals, cello), Lisa Coleman (harmony vocals, piano, synthesizers), Mandy Fer (Sway Wild) (harmony vocals, electric guitar), Megan Coleman (drums, percussion), Meg McCormick (harmony vocals, electric guitars, electric bass), Monique Ross (SistaStrings) (harmony vocals, cello), Wendy Melvoin (harmony vocals, electric guitars, bass), and Wiktoria Bialic (drums, percussion). Special Guests: Brandi Carlile, Brandy Clark, and Hozier joined the Rainbow Coalition Choir on “Requiem.”

Breaking free from Outside Child’s acoustic-based contours, Allison, JT, and Drew built The Returner from the bottom up. The rhythm-first, genre-fluid approach¾and the improvisational energy of great female artists, sparked the album’s fierce joy and provided a wider canvas for Allison’s immense, unlimited talent. The scars remain, but, as Allison sings in “Snake Life”:

every scar and every bruise / shine like blue Botswana jewels /

what did not kill me, filled me / with the power of a thousand suns.

In all, the new album doesn’t just deliver on the massive promise of the last two years, it brilliantly exceeds all reasonable (and unreasonable) expectations and affirms Allison Russell’s place among music’s most vital artists¾and The Returner as one of 2023’s most essential recordings.

Under the artistic direction of Harry Bicket and principal guest Kristian Bezuidenhout, The English Concert has earned a reputation for combining urgency, passion, and fire with precision, delicacy and beauty.

The artistic partners that the English Concert collaborates with reflect and enhance its pursuit for new ways to bring our music to life. Joyce DiDonato, Dame Sarah Connolly, Iestyn Davies, Alison Balsom, Trevor Pinnock, Dominic Dromgoole, Tom Morris, and many more have not only brought their extraordinary skills to individual projects but continue to help the ensemble to shape the way it performs.

One cornerstone of the orchestra’s annual cycle is its international Handel Opera tour. Blossoming from an ongoing relationship with Carnegie Hall, the itinerary now regularly takes in the Theater an der Wien, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, the Elbphilharmonie and Barbican Hall, and the roster of great halls continues to grow. Meanwhile, its regular London series allows the English Concert to explore a radically different path, presenting programs to its home audience that challenge and inspire.

In 2023, The English Concert launched their ambitious Handel for All project, which aims to film and make freely available all of Handel’s works online.

TENET Vocal Artists
2023-12-10 15:00 - 17:00
Caramoor’s holiday season will hit its stride when TENET — the “adventurous and excellent early music vocal ensemble” (The New York Times) — returns, bringing holiday cheer to the decked halls of the Rosen House. Their program of internationally beloved carols featured a quintet of singers accompanied by plucked strings drawn largely from their recording “Love Enfolds Thee Round”, a collection of European carols with a few surprise arrangements and rarely heard gems.

Please join us after the concert for a complimentary reception with a few tasty holiday treats and some beverages to keep you warm through the night!

Here’s your friendly reminder that concert tickets make for very thoughtful holiday gifts this time of year!

About the Artists

Renowned for their interpretations of Renaissance and Baroque repertoire, TENET Vocal Artists’ distinguished soloists have been praised for their pristine one-voice-to-a-part singing “to an uncanny degree of precision” (The Boston Globe).
