"Music Unearthed" - Salt Bay Chamberfest (SBC) Summer Concert Series - The 32nd season explores how generations of Americans have used music to express their multifaceted heritage and feelings about home, self, and cultural identity. Four main concerts that riff on “Unearthed” include: “Found,” rediscovering forgotten European masterworks; “Earth and Sky,” capturing birdsong and the spirituality of the skies; “Created,” exploring creativity in a new work for Sandbox Percussion with composer and steel pannist Andy Akiho; and “Uprooted,” featuring a new composition by composer/cellist Karen Ouzounian on the significance of old music in a new world. The final festival concert will be held at Lincoln Theater Fri Aug 14. All four concerts begin at 7:30pm with a pre-concert lecture beginning at 6:30pm. More information is available online.
