Music from Salem brings together musicians of international reputation to prepare and perform chamber music in the peace and beauty of rural Washington County, New York, and environs. Chamber music is classical music written for a small group of performers, and includes a range of styles, from the 18th century to today. Music from Salem also leads educational workshops and conducts violin, viola, and cello seminars for emerging young artists.

Cutting his teeth as the manager of the legendary Saratoga Springs listening room Caffè Lena, Reese Fulmer has emerged as a singular voice in the region, described as having “a poet’s sensibility rich with great storytelling and a healthy dose of irony.” (Art of the Song). Named Americana Artist of the Year in both 2023 and 2024 at the Thomas Edison Music Awards, Reese has quickly become one of upstate NY’s fastest rising artists.

With The Carriage House Band, an ever evolving ensemble of standout musicians, Reese has cultivated a sound that resists easy labels. It is indie folk grounded in Americana roots and infused with the adventurous spirit of jazz. Their acclaimed live albums capture what audiences already know: this group delivers performances that are expansive, deeply felt, and impossible to predict. Think Wilco with shades of Prine and Zappa. NYSMusic praised their work for “smart, emotionally tuned arrangements and a stage presence that balances earnestness with unpredictability.”

A wide ranging catalog, a rotating cast of exceptional players, and a commitment to keeping each show fresh make Reese Fulmer and The Carriage House Band an electrifying and joy filled live experience. This is a compelling, genre bending night of music that should not be missed.

Admission:
Advance tickets: $25 Adults / $15 Students 21 and Under
Day of tickets: $30 Adults/$20 Students 21 and Under
