The Stage Truck Holiday Concerts
Display it on our stage trailer or directly on the ground. We bring the holiday concert to you!
We are featuring either concert violin sensation soloist, Irene Fong, out of NYC, or Peabody-trained violinist, Noah Stone, who, while originally out of Chicago, now calls Baltimore home. These solo artists will happily perform any length of show you wish from 15 minutes up to one hour.
Tell us your holiday favorites in advance and we will happily include them. We recommend either 15 or 30 minutes. Both 150 and 200 watt sound systems are available for easy setup. In addition to one of our violin mini concerts, we are happy to offer Victorian carolers for a cappella holiday classics.

Japheth Clark
One of Baltimore’s most iconic musicians, Japheth is the “funny trumpet-playing guy” seen all over town. A skilled player of all brass instruments, he is commonly associated with the “funny trumpet,” a flugelhorn. The flugelhorn is his passion due to its warmer and richer sounds.
He was the inspiration for Peabody faculty member, Judah Adashi’s, original composition “RISE.” Japheth studied music at Morgan State and Coppin State Universities.

Irene currently performs and travels extensively worldwide. Irene has performed with acts including Calvin Harris, R3hab, Hardwell, Steve Aoki, Fedde le Grand, Ray Charles, and has opened for Pitbull, Lady Gaga, Diplo and others.
