Musicians of Ma'alwyck present The Merry Musical Family

Musicians of Ma’alwyck presents a captivating concert series of exquisite chamber works by 17th and 18th century Dutch composers. Featuring masterworks by Pieter Hellendaal, Josef Schmitt (the “Dutch Haydn”), and Christian Graf, this program celebrates the deep cultural ties between the Netherlands and the Capital Region. We spoke with the founding Artistic Director of Musicians of Ma'alwyck, Ann-Marie Barker Schwartz, about the program.

Rob Brown comes from a musical family. His mother played piano and taught in this area for nearly 30 years. One uncle is a composer and brass player, one aunt is a professional accompanist and recitalist. And his grandfather had a record collection to rival WMHT’s. He started at WMHT as an intern in 1996. His first job was to go through the stacks of vinyl to make sure they were filed properly. He’s now the Music Director and is thrilled to continue in the “family business” and share more of our very favorite classical music from 1-4 every weekday and 11-3 on Sundays.
