Maxwell remains booked and busy. The soul legend has unveiled the dates for The Silent Serenade Ensemble, a limited-run of intimate shows set for the fall.
He will begin at MGM National Harbor in Washington, D.C., where he will perform three consecutive nights from Sept. 18 through Sept. 20. Later, on Sept. 28, he will return to his hometown, Brooklyn, for a special performance at Kings Theatre.
Soul vocalist Yola will join Maxwell at each show as a special guest. The singer recently released her new EP, My Way.
According to press materials, each show will feature new arrangements of Maxwell’s iconic hits and beloved deep cuts, supported by live percussion and a string quartet.
“Brooklyn raised me, D.C. embraced me—and there’s nothing like sharing that kind of love in a more intimate setting,” says Maxwell. “These shows are going to feel like home.”
Tickets for The Silent Serenade Ensemble go on sale Friday (May 16) at 10 a.m. local time. Presale tickets, including exclusive meet and greet and VIP ticket packages, will be available starting Wednesday (May 14).
Maxwell’s upcoming limited engagement of shows follows his Serenade Tour with special guests Jazmine Sullivan and October London.
The Serenade Tour took place over the fall of 2024, with stops in major cities across North America. He extended the tour with spot dates throughout this spring and summer, with varying special guests.
In February, Maxwell hosted his second annual Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite Cruise, a five-night voyage on the Norwegian Pearl, which made stops in the Cayman Islands and Jamaica. He was joined by special guests Anthony Hamilton, Marsha Ambrosius, Lalah Hathaway, Avery*Sunshine, Terrace Martin, Tye Tribbett, Third World, Yellowman, Sharon Marley, and others.
Before Maxwell kicks off The Silent Serenade Ensemble, he will perform at multiple festivals, including Essence Festival in New Orleans, Love Supreme Jazz Festival in East Sussex and the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam.
In music news, Maxwell released his latest single “Simply Beautiful,” a cover of Al Green’s classic, in August 2024. The song reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart, where it spent two weeks.
