Irish Night, a new addition to Charly's legendary musical array, will take place every Thursday, 7-9:30pm in Flagstaff's Weatherford Hotel. It features Wild World Irish Fiddle, a blend of authentic, dreamy melodies, stomping jigs, and reels with world and Latin twists, as traditional fiddler Kate Rose joins forces with masterful multi-genre guitarist Armand Ramirez.

The icing on the cake: all the dancers out there will love getting down to the fiery sounds, as Kate teaches simple Irish dance moves and configurations to liven your party. There may even be drinking games or drinking dances. Lovers of Ireland and all things Celtic will connect with poetic interludes and stories from Kate's years in County Clare learning among the fiddling farmers. All ages are welcome, the food is tasty, the drinks are as unique as the historical venue itself. facebook.com/KateRoseWildIrishFiddle

Chicken Wire Empire returns to Flagstaff for an evening of bluegrass music following their warm welcome at Pickin in the Pines 2025

https://coconinoarts.org/event/chicken-wire-empire/

Chicken Wire Empire is a Wisconsin-based bluegrass band known for their dynamic musicality, thorough arrangements, and true-to-life songwriting. The band emerged in 2016 with their debut self-titled album and have since released a prolific catalogue of studio projects and live performances. Their sixth and latest album, Growing Pains, releases June 1 and is a veritable culmination of the band’s growth through the past decade.

CWE continuously captivates audiences with thoughtful, energetic performances. Their high-level musicality turns up a fresh conversation with each show, like a brainstorm of creative musical substance. Americana Highways writes “These musicians must enjoy what they do because their joy translates through their instruments. The energy, fingering techniques are all proponents that deliver substance with a modicum of joy. There aren’t any low points, missteps, loss of heat in any of these melodies.”

The band has been recognized worldwide for their performances and recorded works, with Americana UK calling their latest album “a variety which transcends genre and rewards careful listening.” Capturing the ever-evolving sights and sounds of the road through the lens of their Midwestern roots, the band’s catalog of songs is ever-growing and CWE continues to be acknowledged for their pensive attention to detail in writing and crafting deeply engaging songs.

Chicken Wire Empire has partnered with dozens of artists from all corners of the bluegrass genre, from Sam Bush and Peter Rowan to Vince Herman and Keller Williams. Their forthcoming album features guest appearances from Grammy-winning artists Jerry Douglas and Kyle Tuttle. The long list of collaborators has lent a lifetime of taste and knowledge to CWE’s musical journey while the band has grown into its identifiably authentic yet original sound.

Chamber Music Sedona is pleased to present the Brentano Quartet in concert on Sunday, March 22, 2026 at 3 p.m. at the Sedona Hilton (90 Ridge Trail Drive, Sedona, Arizona 86351). Considered one of the world’s most revered string ensembles, the Brentano Quartet will offer an inspiring program that bridges classical masterworks with inventive contemporary music.

Described by The New Yorker as “fiercely intelligent and expressively pristine,” the Brentano Quartet – which consists of violinists Mark Steinberg and Serena Canin, violist Misha Amory and cellist Nina Lee – has been a defining force in chamber music for more than three decades. Known for its probing interpretations, thoughtfully curated programs and a sound of remarkable depth and refinement, the ensemble has performed across five continents at the world’s most prestigious venues and festivals, earning both critical acclaim and devoted audiences.

The March 22 program at Chamber Music Sedona reflects the Quartet’s signature blend of tradition and innovation. Schubert’s emotionally charged “A minor Quartet” and Beethoven’s radiant “Op. 59, No. 3” — one of the composer’s groundbreaking “Razumovsky” quartets — frame “Machine, Learning” by composer Timo Andres, a work that brings a contemporary perspective to the enduring string quartet form.

Throughout their distinguished career, the Brentano Quartet has collaborated with some of today’s most celebrated artists, including Jessye Norman, Joyce DiDonato, Mitsuko Uchida and Jonathan Biss. Their extensive discography includes Beethoven’s “Op. 131,” famously featured in the film “A Late Quartet,” as well as acclaimed recordings of Mozart, Haydn and contemporary repertoire. The ensemble is named after Antonie Brentano, widely believed to be Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved,” underscoring their enduring connection to the heart of the quartet tradition.
