For the past several years, Heyni Solera and Maxfield Wollam-Fisher have been actively working together to perform live tango music.

Their collaboration led to the formation of the unique duo instrumentation of cello and bandoneon, which focuses on playing tangos not commonly played on the dance floor and tangos written by composers alive today. They aim is to foster community and collaboration between tango musicians, organizers, and dancers.

They also provide outreach to new audiences that may not be aware of tango’s resurgence by working with directors and artists from other genres.

Mark has been performing concerts since age 14 and competing since 13. His mastery of guitar has taken him throughout the United States, Canada, Italy, Germany, Philippines, Thailand, and Russia. Recent engagements include Trinity Church in New York City, ArtScape in Baltimore, The Toronto Guitar Symposium, The Columbia Festival of the Arts, the Mississippi Guitar Festival, the Guitar Forum Guest Artist Series at Salisbury University, the Peabody FretFestival, and the AfterNow Music Series at the Red Room, a venue recently featured in Rolling Stone.

Mark has earned 34 top prizes in Thailand, Canada, and the United States. He is also dedicated to outreach programs in the Baltimore community, and directs the Ark & Dove School of Music, a community school whose main purpose is to provide music lessons to underprivileged children who show promise.

Matt Jordan is on a mission. Following in the fingerprints of the New Orleans piano professors, he has been called upon to create a sound of his own. Based in Fairmont, West Virginia and traveling all over creation, he is doing what he does best: riding the blues train and driving his hot rod piano like he stole it.

220 shows and two years on the road with Reverend Horton Heat honed him as a performer and took him to Canada, Europe, and all 48 States. He toured internationally with Lee Rocker as his pianist, rhythm guitarist, and backup singer. On his own, ‘Matt’s Blues’ is a blue-collar barrelhouse of contrasts: both manic and sorrowful, held together with comic old blues and vaudeville banter. Man and piano, he sings his hard-living songs and interprets archaic tunes from the obscure past in a love triangle between rockabilly, boogie-woogie, and New Orleans jazz.

Combining the talents of acrobat Alison Wonderland, fire & flow artist Miss Chief, and aerialist Lady Jay, Victory Circus will knock your socks off. Their collective premiere performance, choreographed for the Victorian Chautauqua, will highlight feats of remarkable skill, beauty, and danger.

The family-friendly circus troupe will inspire excellence and amaze audiences. Hours and years of training will be apparent, from demonstrations of strength and flexibility to remarkable balance and control with flaming devices and an impressive rig raising Lady Jay twenty feet in the air. It’s a show you won’t want to miss.
