Macy's is the product of a 2005 megamerger, which subsumed regional department store names such as Hecht's and Filene's.

He fit the profile of a distracted, deep-thinker: white-bearded, rumpled and toting his books and notes on Princeton’s campus and later at City University in a plastic Filene’s Basement shopping bag.

But along with the humidity, an air of gratitude and relief hung above the Filene Center as those opening flutes of the Smetana sounded — gratitude both for the music and the shelter, but also for the parting clouds and the cooling night, the rising strings and the whir of cicadas, the crisscross of footlights and moonlight, the giant plastic cups of Moscow Mules.

Silkroad Ensemble comes to Wolf Trap’s Filene Center for a one-night appearance on July 24.

In November 2020, Carpenter and a crew, while carefully following protocols to avoid getting infected with the coronavirus, filmed an entire concert at one of Carpenter’s favorite venues, the Wolf Trap’s Filene Center in Vienna, Virginia.
