SUMMARY:NVMTA Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Elam: Crafting a Unique & Multi-Faceted Music Career\n\n\n\nFebruary 26\, 2025\, 10am – 12pm\, Zoom\nJoin Kevin Elam for an inspiring presentation on building a nontraditional career in music! He’s an Irish singing champion\, a gigging jazz pianist\, a teacher of multiple instruments\, a Strathmore Artist-in-Residence\, a member of the Suspicious Cheese Lords\, and director of the new Renaissance ensemble Ars Gratia Populi. Learn about the unexpected opportunities that shaped his unique career\, and how he uses platforms like Patreon and YouTube to expand his reach.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKevin Elam is a multi-instrumentalist and 2019 All-Ireland Champion in Men’s Singing. Although he boasts a strong background in classical piano and choral singing\, and a degree in jazz keyboard\, Kevin is rooted in Irish traditional music. In addition to playing the tin whistle\, guitar\, bouzouki\, mandolin and banjo\, Kevin has also honed his skills as a singer and interpreter of Irish traditional song\, cultivating a significant repertoire of ballads. This intensive practice and study of the tradition were formally recognized in August of 2019\, when he was awarded first place in Men’s English Singing at the 2019 Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann\, held in Drogheda\, Ireland\, and took home the coveted “Dalaigh Shield”\, an award only won by one other American in its 65-year history. \nIn addition to his title in Men’s Singing\, Kevin has also won second place medals in accompaniment (2022) and newly composed songs (2023) at the All-Ireland Fleadh. He is a highly decorated competitor back home at the CCE Mid-Atlantic Fleadh\, including nine first-place awards (tin whistle\, singing\, accompaniment\, newly composed songs\, piano\, and miscellaneous instrument). In 2020\, Kevin was awarded a grant from George Mason University’s Young Artist Commissioning Project\, and consequently recorded his debut album of traditional ballads\, If I Were A Small Bird\, released in September 2021. Most recently Kevin was honored to be selected as one of six Artists in Residence at Strathmore Music Hall in Bethesda\, MD for the 2023 season. \nKevin enjoys a busy performance schedule in the U.S. and abroad\, appearing both as a soloist and with several ensembles at many of the top Irish and Scottish festivals\, venues and concert series. Performance credits include AMP by Strathmore\, Hylton Performing Arts Center\, the Music Center at Strathmore\, the Kennedy Center\, the National Gallery of Art\, and many more. Kevin has also toured extensively with Scottish National Fiddle Champion Sean Heely\, performing throughout the country at Highland games\, Celtic festivals\, concert halls and much more. \nKevin greatly enjoys sharing his knowledge and insight with students\, and has established a reputation as an excellent teacher. In addition to giving group workshops – such as with the prestigious faculty of DC’s premiere Irish traditional music festival\, MAD Week – Kevin also gives private lessons in piano\, guitar\, bouzouki\, tin whistle\, and voice\, and creates online lesson content on Patreon and Youtube. \nKevin stays quite busy with other musical pursuits outside of the Irish traditional music scene. Holding a BM in Jazz Studies from George Mason University\, Kevin performs on occasion as a pianist in jazz and popular styles in the DC area. He has also developed a reputation as a skilled chamber singer\, and enjoys singing Renaissance polyphony (as well as other choral works) with several professional choirs\, as well as directing his own a cappella chamber group\, Ars Gratia Populi. Kevin can be heard playing and singing on Mondays at the weekly session at the Irish Inn in Glen Echo\, and at a variety of other DC area sessions.

SUMMARY:Adult Student Rehearsal Workshops--December
DESCRIPTION:DETAILS\nIn a friendly and welcoming environment\, we talk about our pieces\, perform for a warm and supportive audience\, and learn how we can develop our playing through constructive suggestions. We also enjoy each others’ company\, support each others’ journeys\, and have fun! \nThese are open REHEARSALS\, not recitals. We expect to hear pieces that are “in progress” in addition to those that are more “complete.” We welcome interested and serious students to share even brief sections of pieces. We want to hear\, share\, and celebrate the process of students’ learning and incremental progress. \nApplication Requirements\nWorkshops are held select Sundays of most months. Choose which workshops to attend: we welcome students to attend just one class\, or a handful\, or all classes. To register\, send an email to ahorowit@yahoo.com. There is no fee. Register any time up until the Wednesday before the workshop. \nEmail Deadline\nThe Wednesday prior to each workshop. Because space is limited\, registration may close earlier than this deadline if the workshop is full. \nEligibility\nIn order to enter NTMVA student events\, either the teacher or student must live in Northern Virginia\, or\, the lessons must be taught in Northern Virginia. The class is primarily for adults. Sometimes\, youth ages 16-17 can participate. Please email ahorowit@yahoo.com for questions about eligibility.
