In the Stacks: Seasons of the Witch
In the Stacks: Seasons of the Witch
Soprano Mandy Brown and pianist Tatiana Loisha will open the 2024/25 In the Stacks Concert Series with a captivating performance exploring the history of witchcraft and persecution of women labeled as witches.
Drawing inspiration from historic and rare books about witchcraft and herbalism at the George Peabody Library—on display for one night only—the program will trace the evolution of witch stereotypes and reconcile these inaccuracies with true stories of women who were often healers and sages.
Enjoy an evening of music, history, and rare books in one of the world's most beautiful libraries!
Registration opens Thursday, September 12, 2024 at 10 a.m.
In the Stacks offers an informal, dynamic way for audiences to engage with music and performance art. Throughout the year, this concert series activates Baltimore’s iconic George Peabody Library—a glorious space with five tiers of cast-iron balconies that soar up to a latticed spotlight—with art, music, dance, film, drama, and more.
