Join us for an unforgettable evening of music including the award-winning Mt. Auburn Requiem by Rachel Burckardt.The concert brings together the Boston-based Tutti Music Collective Chorus with the Wood Harbor Orchestra - both under direction of Conductor Elijah Langille , with renound Celtic tenor Ciar á n Nagle , and critically aclaimed saxaphonist Ken Field for a diverse program of music by award-winning composer Rachel Burckardt , along with works by Arturo Márquez and Patricia Van Ness.
The concert will also include:
- For Elaine & Steve : composed for the wedding Rachel's first son. Rachel Burckardt , piano; Ken Field , sax.
- Psalm 103 : a setting by Patricia Van Ness for a capella chorus.
- Conga del Fuego Nuevo : an orchestral piece by Arturo Márquez .
- Ascendance : a piece for electric guitar, orchestra and sax. As the title implies, the ascendance of the music seeks to rise above the noise and negativity that can be found in much of the social and political dialogue these days. Through the use of rising chords and melodic lines, the piece climbs up to a summit, where there can be a better perspective. The video uses photos from one of my hikes up Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire. From the mountain top, we can see the beauty of creation. Ken Field , sax; Phil Neighbors , drums; Rachel Burckardt , electric guitar & piano.
