<h2>From Our Fermentation to Your Hands: The JS Brewery Story</h2>
At JS Brewery, we believe that the best Makgeolli isn’t manufactured—it’s fermented.
Every bottle starts as a conversation between tradition and science. We’ve spent years perfecting our ratios, sourcing the best rice, and listening to the "whisper" of the fermentation. Now we’re inviting you to step behind the scenes and see exactly how the magic happens.
<h3>Our Philosophy: Science Meets Tradition</h3>
Most people think Makgeolli is a mystery. They see the cloudy, tangy drink and wonder how three simple ingredients can create such a complex profile. At JS Brewery, we’ve decoded that mystery, and we’re ready to share our secrets with you.
In this class, you aren’t just a student; you are a Guest Brewer. We will guide you through the exact process we use for our signature brews:
<ul><li>Just: 3 ingredients. Learn about them and how we prepare them naturally with no additives, preservatives, chemicals, etc.</li><li>Journey: Understand the origins of makgeolli and how it is prepared.</li><li>Sincerity: Master the care and intention that ensures a clean, premium finish every time.</li></ul>
<h3>Your Journey to Becoming a Brewer</h3>
This isn't just a lecture—it’s a hands-on immersion. You’ll be working with the same high-quality ingredients we use in our day to day brewing.
<blockquote>"We don't Just want you to drink JS Brewery Makgeolli; we want you to understand its Soul."</blockquote>
By the time you filter your batch, you’ll have more than just a drink. You’ll have the skills to recreate the same fermentation in your own kitchen, turning your home into a micro-brewery of its own.
<h3>Are You Ready to Brew?</h3>
The jars are waiting, the rice is soaking, and the team is ready to welcome you. Let’s make something legendary together.
Note: Pictures/video may be recorded for social media. Please consider this before purchasing tickets.

Guilford Park High School

Our 2026–27 season, Epic Works, showcases four remarkable large-scale compositions that demonstrate the depth, imagination, and expressive power of the wind band repertoire. Each concert features a major multi-movement work as its centerpiece, while remaining true to the Maryland Winds tradition of offering audiences a rich and diverse musical experience throughout the season.
Our second featured work is Percy Grainger’s In a Nutshell, the celebrated four-movement suite first performed in 1916. In just twenty minutes, Grainger captures the rhythmic vitality, folk-inspired melodies, and inventive orchestration that define his unmistakable compositional voice. Compact in length but expansive in imagination, the work remains one of the great masterpieces of the wind band repertoire.

First Evangelical Lutheran Church

Back by popular demand, the extraordinary Jean Rondeau returns to dazzle CMM audiences with his singular command of the harpsichord. Described by The Washington Post as “a master of his instrument with the sort of communicative gifts normally encountered in musicians twice his age,” Rondeau is the most exciting harpsichordist of his generation. His program celebrates the golden age of French Baroque keyboard music: Louis Couperin’s improvisatory grandeur, Rameau’s sparkling brilliance, François Couperin’s elegant wit, and Royer’s thrilling La Marche des Scythes. In the resonant sanctuary of First Lutheran Church, this music will transport you straight to Versailles.

Horowitz Center Smith Theatre

What a perfect pre-holiday treat! Grammy-nominated violinist Philippe Quint brings his critically acclaimed multimedia show to CMM in a joyful 75-minute performance (no intermission) that will surprise and delight.
Most people know Charlie Chaplin as the genius of silent film comedy, but did you know he composed the music for nearly all of his movies? Quint interweaves Chaplin’s poignant, melody-rich compositions with music by the composers who inspired him, including Brahms, Debussy, Stravinsky, and Gershwin, while rare film clips play on screen.
Playing on a 1708 Stradivarius violin, Quint narrates Chaplin’s remarkable life story with elegance, touching emotion, and wit.

Poulenc Trio – featuring CMM’s own Irina Kaplan Lande (piano), Bryan Young (bassoon), and Aleh Remezau (oboe) – returns with two extraordinary collaborations at the heart of the program. Viet Cuong’s Trains of Thought, described as “show-stealing” and a “dazzler,” showcases the Trio at their most kinetic and inventive. Schnittke’s Suite in the Old Style carries listeners on a witty journey from Baroque elegance to avantgarde surprise, each movement gloriously entwined with poetry from Guggenheim Fellow and Baltimore author Lia Purpura’s collection It Shouldn’t Have Been Beautiful.

Earl and Darielle Linehan Concert Hall

A living legend returns to CMM. Richard Goode, the first American-born pianist ever to record the complete Beethoven piano sonatas, and now Distinguished Artist Faculty at Peabody Conservatory, brings his matchless wisdom and depth to the Linehan Hall stage. Gramophone magazine writes that every time audiences hear Goode, he surpasses their expectations. His program moves from the contrapuntal architecture of a Bach Partita through Brahms’ autumnal introspection to Debussy’s shimmering nocturnal worlds, culminating in Chopin’s sublime Barcarolle. This is a concert with a true patriarch of American piano, an experience not to be missed.

Celebrate Women’s History Month with an electrifying CMM debut from one of today’s most exciting string quartets. The Chiaroscuro Quartet, which takes their name from the painting technique that plays with extremes of light and darkness, performs on gut strings with historical bows. Gramophone calls their sound “a trailblazer for the authentic performance of High Classical chamber music.” The Strad writes that “…the Chiaroscuro produces a sound of ravishing sonic and intonational purity…” Their program spans a vast emotional arc: from Bach’s intellectual majesty, to Haydn’s brilliant wit in the “Joke” Quartet, to the volcanic power of Beethoven’s late Op. 132, one of the most deeply personal works he ever wrote.
