The Hay-Adams’ Music Salon Series Highlights the Sounds of Spain  

 The iconic hotel continues its Celebrating the Arts programming with the third performance with PostClassical Ensemble 

WASHINGTON, DC – June 23, 2023 – The Hay-Adams is continuing its 2023 Celebrating the Arts season with an early-evening Music Salon event on Monday, July 10, featuring a performance by PostClassical Ensemble musicians and a flamenco dancer.

The event aims to immerse attendees in a lively exploration of ‘The Sounds of Spain,’ with works by Manuel de Falla, Claude Debussy, Enrique Granados, Federico Mompou, Francisco Tárrega, and Pablo Sarasate, as well as traditional Flamenco music for guitar and bailadora. Performing these works are Netanel Draiblate, Violin; Audrey Andrist, Piano; Ricardo Marlow, Guitar; and Mariana Gato, Dancer – hosted by renowned conductor and PostClassical Ensemble Music Director Ángel Gil-Ordóñez.

Celebrating the Arts at The Hay-Adams builds upon the literary salons hosted in the late 1800s by the hotel’s forebearers, John Hay and Henry Adams. The program encompasses the hotel’s longtime, popular Author Series events, featuring some of the most compelling authors of our time, as well as Music Salons, which take place in the hotel’s Hay-Adams Room amidst a warm ambiance and inviting woodwork – including original paneling from the Hay and Adams homes – and other period details.

PostClassical Ensemble is known for uniting some of the East Coast’s most distinguished musicians to capture composers’ extraordinary vision while creating a welcoming, inclusive and joyful experience that nourishes the soul, touches the spirit and inspires the mind. Under the visionary guidance of Madrid-born Gil-Ordóñez, known for blending his deep passion and experience with the refined talent and skill of elite musicians, hand-selected ensembles of musicians will create music performances at The Hay-Adams that transport and connect people.

Tickets for the July 10 Music Salon are priced at $60 per person; doors open at 5:30 pm and the performance begins at 6:00 pm. Tickets are on sale at: https://www.hayadams.com/celebrating-the-arts/music-salons. To complement the performance, the evening includes hors d’oeuvres and wines themed to the event.

The pre-theatre, or happy hour, timing, is intended to give attendees a stunning cultural respite from the activities of their day, allowing time to enjoy dinner afterwards. The Lafayette, The Hay-Adams’ fine-dining restaurant, is open following the performance, should attendees wish to make a dinner reservation there. Off the Record, the bar at The Hay-Adams, also serves light gourmet fare and cocktails late into the evening.
