Lara and pianist Matt Herskowitz will perform their acclaimed program Lavuta: Violin Beyond the Pale, featuring Eastern European folk melodies re-imagined by contemporary composers

All concerts take place in the Crypt Chapel under the Church of the Intercession in Harlem. Each new performance - announced directly following the preceding concert - includes a pre-concert food and wine tasting paired to the music, prepared by Ward 8 Events

Season 3 of Unison Media's acclaimed concert series The Crypt Sessions continues on March 14 & 15, with violinist Lara St. John and pianist Matt Herskowitz performing their haunting, heralded program Lavuta: Violin Beyond the Pale.

The music incorporates folk melodies from Eastern Europe and the Jewish Diaspora, re-imagined by contemporary composers like Serouj Kradjian, Milica Paranosic, John Kameel Farah, and more. Lara recorded the program for her much-vaunted album Shiksa.

Due to rapid sell-outs and long waiting lists, each new concert will be announced immediately after the one preceding it, first to the mailing list, then via The Crypt Sessions website (http://deathofclassical.com/) and Facebook page.

Each Crypt Session will feature a pre-concert reception included in the ticket price, with a tasting of food and wine that is paired to the themes and moods of that evening's music, prepared by Ward 8 Events.

All proceeds from ticket sales of The Crypt Sessions are donated to the Church of the Intercession, where the crypt is located.

The Crypt Sessions will once again be made possible by the extraordinarily generous sponsorship of Yamaha, who provide their wonderful pianos for the performances.
