    Illumination – A Haunted Concert by Candlelight

    Union County Performing Arts Center Main Stage, 1601 Irving St, Rahway · verified Sep 27
    See details

    Welcome the season with Illumination – A Haunted Concert by Candlelight, where acclaimed theatre organist Ian Fraser performs a program of Halloween-themed music on UCPAC’s “Biggest Little Wurlitzer,” a 1928 instrument still in its original Main Stage home. Between pieces, he shares insight into the organ’s mechanics and history along with the stories behind his selections, creating an experience tailored to music enthusiasts, history lovers, and anyone drawn to something beautifully spooky. Fraser’s connection to mechanical music began in early childhood and led him to the theatre organ as a teenager, where he taught himself to play by ear. He serves as the house silent film organist at several regional venues and is also the house organist at the St. George Theatre, where he regularly plays for audiences of more than 1,500 K–12 students. His accolades include first place in the American Theatre Organ Society’s 2023 Young Theatre Organist Competition. Notably, in June 2025 he performed what is described as the first silent film with live organ accompaniment at a drive-in movie theater for the 100th anniversary of The Phantom of the Opera. He curates a classic and silent film series, restores historic instruments, and holds leadership roles with GSTOS and AMICA. The “Biggest Little Wurlitzer,” celebrated for producing a remarkably large sound from a compact footprint, is listed on the National Registry of Significant Instruments and remains one of New Jersey’s few theatre pipe organs still playing in the venue it was designed for. With 500 pipes and percussion that evoke the depth and color of a full orchestra, its carefully tuned chambers and the auditorium’s acoustics come together to deliver the distinctive theatre organ sound that continues to captivate audiences of all ages.

    Compagnie Hervé KOUBI, with artists from France, Algeria, and beyond, fuses contemporary and urban dance with capoeira and martial arts to craft vivid imagery and airborne athleticism shaped by evocative choreography. In Sol Invictus, titled for the ancient unconquered sun, the piece places love at the heart of peace, suggesting that even amid fracture, shared humanity can bring communion. The score features music by Swedish composer Mikael Karlsson, alongside excerpts by Steve Reich and digital composer Maxime Bodson. An earlier milestone, What the Day Owes to the Night, drew on Yasmina Khadra’s novel and on Hervé Koubi’s discovery of his Algerian heritage, prompting collaborations with street dancers from across the Mediterranean; The New York Times praised that creation for its poetic beauty, noting a balance of contemplation and athletic vigor that speaks to the bonds that connect us. In this spirit, Koubi highlights light, solidarity, and the ties that unite, envisioning an outcome where the sun and the dance prevail.

    Co-presented with Clavius Productions, this program at The Perch Music & Arts Community in Philadelphia features performances by Hana Stretton, Jana Horn, and Danielle Nia. British and Australian artist Hana Stretton is a composer, singer, and producer recognized for spacious, warmly textured recordings. Her debut album, Soon, drew dedicated listeners around the world, then Phil Elverum reissued it on his own label the following year and publicly praised its quietly flourishing spirit. Her forthcoming album, tiarn, shifts the focus from inland terrain to the Pacific, weaving in subtle classical and electronic elements, with vinyl editions planned through PW Elverum & Sun in North America, brierfield flood press in Australia, and Lima Limo in Europe and the UK. Jana Horn is a writer and musician from Texas now based in Brooklyn. After the reissue of her debut, Optimism, she released two full-length albums on No Quarter. Her self-titled record, made at Sonic Ranch in West Texas, traces her move from Charlottesville, where she was in the University of Virginia’s Creative Writing MFA, to New York City. The New Yorker has noted kinship in her music with figures such as Young Marble Giants, Syd Barrett, and Broadcast, and she received the Halifax Ranch Prize in 2026 for her story “The Woman,” forthcoming in American Short Fiction. Philadelphia-based composer and performer Danielle Nia delves into electronic and experimental sound, drawing on electronic music, jazz, classical traditions, global styles, and chiptunes. Her work blends modular and keyboard synthesis with composition, mallet percussion, improvisation, computer programming, and circuit bending to shape a distinctive meeting of technology and artistry. Accessibility note: the venue has a street level entrance, but there are two steps to the restroom.

    At Avenel Performing Arts Center, singer-songwriter Reagan Richards of the Asbury Park duo Williams Honor takes center stage with a solo program of torch songs and cherished standards from the Great American Songbook, plus a few carefully chosen surprises. Expect a mix of refined vocals and warm humor, supported by an outstanding band that highlights the elegance and sparkle of these timeless tunes. This performance grew from a deeply personal place. Richards first presented the concert in 2021 to a sold-out crowd as a tribute to her mother, Harriet, a big band vocalist who performed with Les Paul and other notable bandleaders. Her mother watched proudly as Richards revisited the songs she learned in childhood, including classics associated with Judy Garland, Eydie Gormé, Bing Crosby and Billie Holiday. When the show returned in 2023 after Harriet’s passing, it became a heartfelt remembrance as well as a celebration of the music they shared. Richards brings a career that bridges country and classic pop. With Williams Honor she has scored charting singles at country radio and opened at Madison Square Garden for Bon Jovi. She performed with Les Paul for four years, portrayed Patsy Cline in the two-woman stage production Always, Patsy Cline, and has provided backing vocals for artists such as David Gray, Debbie Harry, Johnny Rzeznik, Cheap Trick and Alice Cooper. The result is an elegant evening that honors both enduring American melodies and the family legacy that inspired them.

    Chris Smither (solo) at Avenel PAC

    Avenel Performing Arts Center, Avenel · verified Sep 27
    See details

    Chris Smither brings an intimate solo performance to the Avenel Performing Arts Center, shaped by a lifetime of blues-infused songwriting and guitar work. Born in Miami during World War II and raised in New Orleans, he began on his mother’s ukulele with guidance from his Uncle Howard, quickly learning how a few chords could open up the songs he heard on the radio. Inspired early on by Lightnin’ Hopkins, he chased that compelling sound on his own guitar. In his twenties he left anthropology studies for Boston at the suggestion of Eric von Schmidt, settling into the vibrant coffeehouse scene and forming lasting bonds, including with Bonnie Raitt, who later recorded Love You Like a Man and I Feel the Same. From those New Orleans and Cambridge roots emerged his hallmark approach, a propulsive fingerpicking style influenced by Mississippi John Hurt and Lightnin’ Hopkins, grounded by the steady rhythm of his tapping feet. His catalog stretches from early releases like I’m a Stranger, Too! and Don’t It Drag On on Poppy Records to Honeysuckle Dog and the spare It Ain’t Easy, and onward to his 20th release, All About the Bones, which pares the music to its essentials with a stark, minimalist feel. Widely noted by the New York Times, Rolling Stone, MOJO, and NPR, his journey traces a steady evolution from rising talent to respected icon. This evening focuses on his storytelling, nimble guitar lines, and the foot-driven groove that has defined his music for decades.

    DE LA VIDA DESTE MUNDO | Música Antiqua Latina

    See details

    Musica Antiqua Latina, a Rome-based ensemble, makes its American debut at Music Before 1800 with a program shaped by centuries of Italo-Hispanic exchange. The concert looks back to the era when large parts of Italy were under the Crown of Aragon, a Spanish presence that fostered a Hispanic-leaning cultural life amid political unrest, and it considers how that climate touched figures like Claudio Monteverdi and Antonio Stradivari. Focusing on Rome’s Renaissance quarter, the program honors naturalized artists of Iberian origin who helped define music in Renaissance and Baroque Italy, including Francisco Soto de Langa of the Papal choir, Juan del Encina, a priest, playwright, and composer active during the pontificate of Leo X, and Gaspar Sanz, the composer, guitarist, and priest.
