Old Worlds, New Songs Featuring Ayreheart

Step into a world where centuries-old melodies meet the energy and spirit of contemporary folk music at Secret Garden Concerts!

We’re thrilled to welcome back Ayreheart, the Maryland-based ensemble led by GRAMMY-nominated lutenist and composer Ronn McFarlane. Blending Renaissance music, traditional Celtic and British folk influences, and original compositions, Ayreheart brings the sounds of the past vividly to life with a fresh, modern sensibility. Their inventive arrangements bridge the worlds of early music and contemporary folk and Americana, offering a listening experience that feels both timeless and delightfully unexpected.

Date & Showtimes: January 16 at 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM

Join us at Secret Garden Concerts for an evening where ancient sounds find new life!

About the Rectory

Built in 1785 and the home of Classical Movements’ offices since 2014, the building formerly served as the rectory of the nearby historic Christ Church, once the church of George Washington. Since then, it has been owned by several distinguished Virginians and has been a commercial space since the 1960’s.

Located in the heart of beautiful Old Town Alexandria at 711 Princess Street, the Rectory is minutes away from the shops and restaurants of bustling King Street and is easily accessible by bus and metro.
