We call it the Federal Hill Parlor Series, but more and more Baltimoreans are throwing open the doors of their homes to display local musical talent at its best. The main attraction here is music in your community.
Say “parlor” and you might picture a grand sitting room in a foreign country, or ladies in ruffles drinking tea. However, the Federal Hill Parlor Series is bringing you a musical party replete with hors d’oeuvres, champagne, and social interplay. This approach offers guests an inexpensive alternative to a traditional classical concert and eschews the formality and stuffiness of the concert hall.
Try one of our open houses held at the Jordan Faye Contemporary Gallery or host your own event. Hosts choose the date and time of the recital, and if they wish to become further involved in the artistic process, may also participate in choosing the musical program. With a wide diversity of performers, from violinists to DJs to harpists to beatboxers, you are in for a thrilling musical experience. The Federal Hill Parlor Series is committed to bringing quality performances to the neighborhood level in Baltimore City.
Upcoming Events
The open houses present performances in a way that allows listeners to enjoy music in a party atmosphere replete with food, beverages, and social interplay.
This approach offers guests an inexpensive alternative to a traditional classical concert and eschews the formality and stuffiness of the concert hall. The Federal Hill Parlor Series often works in collaboration with the Jordan Faye Contemporary and BE Art Events to present our musical experiences in a unique, mixed-use exhibition space.
Are you involved with a bar, resturant, or venue space that would like to host the Parlor Series? Please contact us.
Each private performance is hosted by a resident of the community who has an interest in fostering fellowship and is committed to increasing the presence and caliber of the arts. Hosts choose the date and time of the recital, and if they wish to become further involved in the artistic process, may also participate in choosing the musical program.
The Federal Hill Parlor Series has done home concerts for many different types of events including: Christmas Parties, Twelfth Night, and Company Events. If you have an idea for an event, please feel free to contact us.
