2021-22 Concert Season Now Available

CHAMBER MUSIC WITH A TWIST

Based in Durham, NC since 1984, we strive to bring together great music with other art forms, as well as expand the definition of chamber music.

Our name is taken from the 19th century poet, Stéphane Mallarmé, who was known for his salons – gatherings of intellectuals at his house in Paris for discussions of poetry, art and philosophy.

VIRTUAL CONCERT: BLUEGRASS BLEND

NOW Available for streaming for MEMBERS and SINGLE TICKET BUYERS through 11/14/2021

 

Mallarmé joins Hank, Pattie and the Current for a concert of music with bluegrass and traditional roots.

CONCERT: A MUSICAL AFFAIR

Sunday, February 13 @ 3:00 pm, Motorco Music Hall, Durham
Join Mallarmé and the Durham Literacy Center in a program that combines music and literature. Author Carrie Knowles reads from her new book “A Musical Affair”  …A novel about divorce, deception, love affairs, expensive secrets and …the power of beautiful music. Mallarme performs music by Debussy to “illustrate” that power.

join forces once again with their original and energetic new soul grass band, Hank and Pattie. Hank and Pattie take bluegrass and infuse it with their own flair, drawing from a melting pot of styles including classical and Motown, which adds up to an authentic and unique reflection of American music. While some of the music sounds old school and some sounds fresh and new, their overall musicianship, vocal harmonies, impassioned delivery, and innovative arrangements captivate all generations of music lovers. Hank and Pattie are backed by an all-star band comprised of Carolina musicians Stevie Martinez on Bass and vocals and Billie Feather on guitar.
