The concert includes the premiere performance of Jaskot’s Florescence\, which is inspired by a short excerpt of text from Sufi mystic Bawa Muhaiyadeen (translated by Coleman Barks): “You’re the meaning that blooms in the heart. In this world of flowers\, in the next world.” \nJoin us as we navigate through musical terrain to explore florescence in many forms. Sonic blooms\, fluid harmonies\, moments of stillness\, and rhythmic intensity are just a few ways that the evening’s repertoire will transport you to another sound-world full of new and fascinating discoveries! \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n February 10\, 20267:30 p.m. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Brooks Concert Hall URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/semiosis-quartet-residency/ LOCATION:Brooks Concert Hall\, 1 College St.\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Department of Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/semiosis-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260215T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260215T150000 DTSTAMP:20260408T065730 CREATED:20260115T214530Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260115T214531Z UID:5837-1771167600-1771167600@priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu SUMMARY:Holy Cross Chapel Artist Series: American Guild of Organists (Worcester Chapter) DESCRIPTION:Department of Music\n \n \n \n \n \n American Guild of Organists (Worcester Chapter)\n \n \n \n \n \n Holy Cross Chapel Artist Series\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nJoin us for this Chapel Artist Series presentation featuring Robert Potterton\, Robin Dinda and Andrew Sheranian\, all members of the Worcester Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n February 15\, 20263 p.m. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nSt. Joseph Memorial Chapel URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/holy-cross-chapel-artist-series-american-guild-of-organists-worcester-chapter/ LOCATION:St. Joseph Memorial Chapel\, 1 College St.\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Department of Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/chapel-artist-series-organ-2026-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260218T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260218T120000 DTSTAMP:20260408T065730 CREATED:20260113T203157Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260203T200314Z UID:5702-1771416000-1771416000@priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu SUMMARY:Lunchtime Concert: Blue in the Beehive DESCRIPTION:Department of Music\n \n \n \n \n \n Blue in the Beehive\n \n \n \n \n \n Lunchtime Concert Series\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nChaney Goldstein ‘28\, saxophoneChris Maratea ‘28\, bassSean Dooley ‘29\, piano \nJoin us for a lunchtime set of jazz standards performed by Chaney Goldstein (saxophone)\, Sean Dooley (piano)\, and Chris Maratea (bass)\, and incorporating styles such as swing\, ballads\, Latin and funk. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n February 18\, 202612 p.m. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nThe BeehivePrior Performing Arts Center URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/lunchtime-concert-goldstein-dooley-maratea/ LOCATION:The Beehive in The Prior\, 1 College St.\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Department of Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/beehive-lunch-concert-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260219T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260219T193000 DTSTAMP:20260408T065730 CREATED:20260113T205612Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260203T200404Z UID:5709-1771529400-1771529400@priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu SUMMARY:Brooks Scholars Concert DESCRIPTION:Department of Music\n \n \n \n \n \n Brooks Scholars Concert\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nSophie Rose Riopel ‘29\, saxophoneLogan Sherwin Kornilov ‘28\, pianoJohn Hannagan ‘28\, button accordion Robert Gardner ‘26\, piano \nThe Brooks Scholarship is a four-year\, full tuition scholarship offered to a music major or double major in music and another discipline.

Its deep-rooted tradition ripples outward\, changing – and being changed by – the cultures that it touches. The ease with which Jain braids his sound highlights the interconnectedness of global styles — and that sense of connection goes beyond the music itself\, as Jain leads his group across genre borders he knows are arbitrary.  \nDefined by its restlessness\, and daring enough to encompass many different identities\, Wild Wild East is raucous\, powerful\, gorgeous\, jubilant\, dissonant\, and built of a truly American spirit. In other words\, it recognizes a world that’s always changing: today’s cowboy or cowgirl learns how to adapt to their conditions\, seeing that they’re just as conditional as everything around them.  \nCalled the “Hendrix of dhol” by Manchester Salon (UK)\, Jain is most known for founding the pioneering band Red Baraat\, a frenzied fusion of bhangra\, hip-hop\, jazz\, rock\, and sheer\, unbridled energy. NPR called them “the best party band in years” and their 2017 NPR Tiny Desk concert was touted as the 8th best TDC of all time by New York Magazine. He and his current five-piece band have toured the country and the world with performances from his Smithsonian Folkways Recordings album Wild Wild East. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Mar 12\, 20267:30 p.m. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n\n \n \n \n \n \n $35 | $45 | $55 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nLuth Concert Hall\nThe Prior Performing Arts Center \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n “The indefatigable drummer and dhol player Sunny Jain is an unrepentant maximalist.” \n Jay Ruttenberg\n Contributor\, The New Yorker \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Explore More URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/sunny-jain-wild-wild-east/ LOCATION:PRIOR PRESENTS – Luth Concert Hall –\, 1 College St\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Department of Music,Prior Presents ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/sunny-jain-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260313T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260313T190000 DTSTAMP:20260408T065730 CREATED:20260114T214908Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260114T214909Z UID:5801-1773428400-1773428400@priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu SUMMARY:Kalaf Epalanga Residency: Keynote DESCRIPTION:Department of Music\n \n \n \n \n \n Kalaf Epalanga Residency\n \n \n \n \n \n Keynote\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nThis March\, Angolan musician and writer Kalaf Epalanga joins the Music Department as a 2026 Patrick E.
