Kossler Duo in Concert

Aguado Guitar Concerts — Loudoun County’s non-profit organization that promotes classical guitar music in Northern Virginia — is proud to announce its second concert on the 2018/2019 Concert Season. Aguado Guitar Concerts will host two wonderfully talented and accomplished young brothers, Adam and John Kossler, known as Kossler Duo. This will be the Kossler brothers’ second appearance on the Aguado Guitar Concerts Series. Their concert two years ago was so amazing that our audience wants them back again and we are very excited about their return. Kossler Duo is establishing itself as one of the premiere American duos and they have been in great demand to perform at guitar festivals and concert series. Their playing has been described as so in-sync, if you close your eyes, it’s as if there is only one ‘Uber” guitarist on stage. This concert program will feature selections by classical masters such as Beethoven, J. S. Bach, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Rossini, Saint-Saëns, and Cardoso. In addition to a wonderful night of guitar music, the audience will have a chance to enjoy a reception after the concert provided by the AGC Board of Directors, and will be able to meet the artists.

StageCoach Theatre presents "Bedtime Stories (As Told by Our Dad)(Who Messed Them Up)

It’s Dad’s turn to tell his three rambunctious kids their bedtime stories, but when he gets fuzzy on the details, the classics get creative: a prince with a snoring problem spices up The Princess and The Pea, The Boy Who Cried Wolf cries dinosaur instead, and Rumpelstiltskin helps turn all that pesky gold into straw. You may think you know your fairy tales, but not the way Dad tells them.
