June 4: Eric Byrd Trio

The Eric Byrd Trio (EBT) has been showcasing the sounds of swing, bebop, gospel, and the blues to audiences around the world for the past 25 years. The trio includes Eric Byrd, Alphonso Young Jr., and Will Hazel, all musical experts in their own right. Experts in their art form, they have been awarded the Maryland State Arts Council Independent Artist Award, as well as a Governor's Citation from Larry Hogan honoring their decades of global performances.

MoCA Studio Session: "Sticking Systems: Mapping Home"

Stitch a simple path with yarn and burlap that reflects some daily movement through your home. Each square will become a part of a growing collective quilt that maps how we move through and divide shared space. Led by Lauren Crawford, current Resident Artist at MoCA Arlington's main museum.

Jazz @ Met is presented by DC Jazz Festival and National Landing BID, sponsored by Amazon. Additional support for performances is provided by The Galena-Yorktown Foundation and The Leonard and Elaine Silverstein Family Foundation.
