UUCC Augusta Community Concert Series 
Michael P. Atkinson, curator

Musicians from the NYC-based chamber orchestra The Knights join forces with Maine’s own Songs From Here to present a concert of chamber music and art songs in a first of its kind collaboration!  

 

Music by Caroline Shaw, Franz Schubert, Gordon Bok, Maurice Ravel, Neil Perlman, Igor Stravinsky, Erica Ball, and George Gershwin - including four new arrangements commissioned for this concert.

 

Join us for a special evening of world-class musicianship right here in Augusta!

 

About the performers:

 

The Knights are a collective of adventurous musicians dedicated to transforming the orchestral experience and eliminating barriers between audiences and music. Driven by an open-minded spirit of camaraderie and exploration, they inspire listeners with vibrant programs that encompass their roots in the classical tradition and passion for artistic discovery. www.theknightsnyc.com

 

Songs From Here is a Maine-based initiative that supports locally-written art song.  We celebrate the creativity of our fellow Mainers in high-quality performances taking place across the state, featuring the work of Maine’s composers and poets. www.songsfromhere.com
