“Clean energy availability is one of the keys to unlocking a future of renewable, reliable, and affordable power,” said U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King (ME) in a joint statement. “As home to one of the crown jewels of America’s National Park System, Mount Desert Island has long been a model for environmental stewardship and has made significant strides to preserve Acadia’s natural wonders. We welcome this investment, which will help the community accelerate its plans to increase the resiliency of the local grid and transition to a clean energy future.” |
world premiere at baroque!“A powerful communicator renowned for her musical scope and versatility, Brazilian-American Clarice Assad is a significant artistic voice in the classical, world music, pop, and jazz genres. The Grammy Award–nominated composer, celebrated pianist, inventive vocalist, and educator is acclaimed for her evocative colors, rich textures, and diverse stylistic range. With her talent sought-after by artists and organizations worldwide, the polyglot musician continues to attract new audiences both onstage and off.”
Assad’s recent original work for small chamber ensembles was presented as a world premiere, on the same evening that Assad premiered in Italy. Grammy award winning soprano, Martha Guth performed the piece with the Lincoln Trio, Saturday, July 29th in the Beaver Island Community Center Theatre. CONTINUED on News Page Guth brings consummate musicianship, interpretive intelligence and a distinctive tonal palette her performances. She has performed extensively throughout North America and Europe in concert, recital and opera, and her performances have been broadcast live on the BBC radio 2 in England, The CBC and Radio Canada and the WDR in Germany. Highlights include Wigmore Hall and the Leeds Lieder Festival with Graham Johnson at the piano, the Vancouver International Song Institute and the Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival with Erika Switzer, the Liederkranz with Pianist Dalton Baldwin, and an all-Britten recital with Pianist Malcolm Martineau in NYC. Other performances include St. John’s Smith Square in London, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Voices of Ascension in NYC, The National Cathedral, the Calgary Philharmonic, the Aldeburgh Connection in Toronto, and both Claveçin en Concert and the André Turp Society in Montreal. Described by STRAD Magazine as “Sensational” “Bewitching” and “Models of vibrancy and control” GRAMOPHONE Magazine, the celebrated GRAMMY nominated Chicago-based Lincoln Trio—made up of Desirée Ruhstrat, violin, David Cunliffe, cello, and Marta Aznavoorian, piano—takes its name from their home, the heartland of the United States, the land of Lincoln. It was a star-studded performance, with a packed houseful of appreciative guests. The Lincoln Trio is a joy to watch as their stage performance flows over the audience. Their joy and precision is evident in the highly synchronized gestures and expressions of the communications streaming to and from each player. Martha Guth was incredibly expressive as her narration and singing clearly brought the message of Assad’s composition about the agony of the ill-fated victims of 14th century witch murders. Join many of these performers the rest of the week at various venues on the island, for ticketed and freewill events! |
