First Friday: Songs From Here
Songs From Here’s performing duo returns for their third season of concerts with “Love Today,” a program that celebrates love in its many forms. Soprano Sarah Tuttle and pianist Bridget Convey present a concert of songs celebrating love for friends, lovers, family, and the natural world—tranquil, tragic, and laugh-out-loud funny!
Erica Ball returns with a suite of love songs, young composer Emmalynn Craft sets the words of abolitionist and suffragette Frances Ellen Watkins Harper to music, and Thomaston-native Marianna Filippi introduces “The Great Blue,” a suite for voice and piano about finding beauty, peace, and love among Maine’s wildlife. Each piece is written specifically for Songs From Here. You can look forward to Millay poems set to music by Scott Wheeler, cabaret songs by Bolcom and Britten, and more. Readings from local poets round out the program, which is sure to have something to delight everyone!
