Join us for our 2024-2025 Faculty Concert Series with a performance from cello faculty Alison Ackley, with her husband Taylor Ackley, followed by a reception for the community!
Alison and Taylor Ackley are partners in life and in music and have been performing together since 2015 when they founded the Deep Roots Ensemble. Taylor’s background in traditional American music and Alison’s extensive experience as a classical chamber musician come together to form the foundation of all the music they make together. The rich sound of their two-part harmony singing brings songs old and new to life in a way that feels both timeless and remarkable. While they primarily perform with the Deep Roots Ensemble, their duo performances always bring a special, intimate character to their well-loved style.
For this concert, they will be performing selections from Songs for Trees, Hard Tellin’ and Songs from the Bitterroot to be announced from the stage. The performers for the night are Alison Ackley, voice and cello, Taylor Ackley, voice, mandolin and banjo, with James Heazlewood-Dale, guitar.
The concert will be in the Concert Hall, up the stairs under the large purple awning, at 160 Lexington Street, Belmont, MA 02478 at 7:00. Parking is available in front of the building or in the lot on the corner of Lexington and Beech Street.
These concerts are open to anyone who would like to come, there is a suggested donation of $20 per family to attend that can be made online or at the door.
