This summer, the Raclin Murphy Museum is celebrating a decade of creativity and rhythm with Merrimans’ Playhouse—and you’re invited! Enjoy amazing live performances, special experiences, and fantastic food and drinks all season long. Bring a blanket or lawn chair (limited seating will be available on the Terrace), relax under the sun, and let the music move you in this one-of-a-kind setting. Ivan’s Cafe will have tasty food and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase. Oh Mamma’s will be selling scrumptious small plates perfect for snacking, and Perry Vine will be pouring delicious meads and wines for purchase by the glass or bottle. For our last concert of the summer, we are welcoming the Javier Red Quartet to the Terrace. In his new quartet, Javier Red is composing for and making music with Dakarai Barclay (trumpet), Jake Wark (tenor sax), Jeff Wheaton (bass), and Daniel Gayden (drums). The quartet serves as a vehicle for musical exploration along three lines: the rhythmic pulse and repetition rooted in West African music traditions, the creative personalities of the band members, and the continual reinvention or reinterpretation of both Javier's original compositions and music from great jazz composers such as Monk, Henderson, Coltrane, and Shorter that have a special connection with Javier's rhythmic explorations. Museum galleries will be open so you can explore the work of art paired with the performance. Series curated by Stephen and Mary Merriman of Merrimans’ Playhouse.
