The lack of revenue from performances\, classes and exhibitions has led to critical financial problems for the arts. Most artists and org anizations have had to cancel seasons and indoor events for the foreseeabl e future\, transitioning to smaller\, outdoor events and virtual presentat ions.\n\n"We knew as the weather gets colder\, gathering will become more challenging\," says Alexandria Arts Alliance Board President Melinda Kernc . "There is amazing and inspirational art happening all around us\, and we want Alexandria residents to experience it\, even if they are staying hom e. These artists and arts organizations desperately need support from the community they serve so well. This entertaining\, collaborative showcase p rovides a way to ensure the arts will emerge strong when the pandemic subs ides."\n\nHomegrown Restaurant Group will donate 10% from all take-out ord ers mentioning ACT 4 #ArtsALX on the evening of the event.

Parisienne \n\nIn commemoration of the 250th annive rsary of the Marquis de Lafayette's 1824-25 tour of the United States\, en joy a lecture/concert of music from Lafayette's lifetime performed on earl y 19th-century instruments. Join researchers and historical-performance sp ecialists Dominic Giardino (historical clarinets) and Dr. Chris Troiano (s erpent) to experience the music that underscored Lafayette's French Revolu tionary career. The Age of Revolutions (1775-1848) was a period of social\ , political\, and cultural turbulence in Europe and the Americas. There wa s perhaps no greater witness to this era of dramatic change than Gilbert d u Motier\, Marquis de Lafayette. This lecture/performance\, with Lafayette 's leadership of the Garde Nationale Parisienne as the focal point\, will transport listeners to the desperate but optimistic early days of the Fren ch Revolution when music left the aristocratic great rooms of Versailles a nd poured onto the streets of Paris. \n\nAbout the Performers\nBased in Wi lliamsburg\, VA\, historical clarinetist Dominic Giardino enjoys a varied professional life exploring the intersections of history and performance. Dominic is the executive director of the Tucson-based concert series Arizo na Early Music\, develops music programming for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation\, and is a member of Early Music America's board of directors. As a clarinetist\, he has recorded with the Smithsonian Chamber Players\, Three Notch'd Road: The Virginia Baroque Ensemble\, and Newberry's Victori an Cornet Band. Dominic earned his B.M. in performance at the Eastman Scho ol of Music\, and his M.M. in early music as a U.S. Fulbright Scholar in T he Hague\, where he studied with Eric Hoeprich.\n\nDr. Chris Troiano is th e Historical Ensembles Program Manager at George Mason University in Fairf ax\, VA and is the Program Director of the 8th Green Machine Regiment Band \, a mid-19th century brass band that performs music of the American Civil War on period brass instruments. Chris is also the co-host of the Early A merican Brass Band Podcast\, a podcast focusing on sharing research and pe rformances of brass bands from 1835-2023.
