Grammy-winning Mads Tolling will bring his jazz-inflected interpretations to the Barn for this much anticipated return engagement, featuring pianist Frank Martin and bassist Gary Brown. Tolling, hailed by fellow violinist Jean-Luc Ponty for his “superb mastery” of modern jazz, will take the audience for a thrilling cross-genre ride outdoors on the lawn, playing everything from American standards to Latin originals to blues and swing hits, with one or two of his own compositions thrown into the mix. This show will likely sell out, so reserve tickets early (button below) or by calling the box office at 707-987-8225.

Dare to go out on Halloween weekend as Le Jazz Hot scares up some ghosts of Paris past at the White Barn. Known internationally as the Hot Club of San Francisco, this venerable gypsy swing combo (led by Paul Pazzo Mehling- solo guitar, Cullen Cujo Luper-violin, Jordan Samuels- rhythm guitar, Dexter Williams-string bass) will dazzle you with their repertoire of Django Reinhardt tunes and original compositions. This show will likely sell out, so get your tickets now.

In the early 1870s, Anne Gilchrist, an educated English writer, began corresponding with Walt Whitman, who had written her his thanks for a glowing magazine article she wrote about "Leaves of Grass." When she set sail for Philadelphia in 1876, Gilchrist (played by Linda Howard) was passionately in love with the poet, though the two had never met face-to-face. Drawing on their actual letters interspersed with imagined scenes of their dramatic encounters (by John Sullivan, who also plays Whitman), this drama explores the unusual friendship that developed between the besotted Gilchrist and the reticent (and presumably homosexual) Whitman. Presented reader’s-theater style, with interludes of songs set to Whitman poems by Ned Rorem and Leonard Bernstein (and sung by Ted von Pohle, accompanied by Nancy Garden on piano and Jeffrey McFarland-Johnson on cello), “Unreturn’d” sheds light on a poignant relationship marked by acceptance, understanding, and magnanimity.
