Don't Miss It! The Westerlies This Saturday at Star at 2 PM

The Westerlies, "an arty quartet...mixing ideas from jazz, new classical, and Appalachian folk" (New York Times) are a New York-based brass quartet comprised of Riley Mulherkar and Chloe Rowlands on trumpet, and Andy Clausen and Addison Maye-Saxon on trombone. From Carnegie Hall to Coachella, The Westerlies navigate a wide array of venues and projects with the precision of a string quartet, the audacity of a rock band, and the charm of a family sing-along. On Saturday, March 1, 2025 they will perform a free concert at Whitehall's historic Star Theatre at 2 PM. While this concert is free, donations for future events at the Star are welcome and appreciated.

Since their 2011 inception, the ensemble has produced ten critically acclaimed albums of genre-defying music. 2023 saw the release of their fifth studio album, entitled Move, featuring music of new music icons Caroline Shaw and Nico Muhly, on the ensemble's in-house record label. Sought-after collaborators, The Westerlies are featured on recordings by Fleet Foxes, Big Red Machine, Common, Theo Bleckmann, Aoife O'Donovan, and Conrad Tao.
