About the event
A clearing, a reading, a feeling
Suggested Donation. BYOB.
Inspired by the (inaccurate) prediction that the early months of 2025 would be empty, Melinda set off on creating a piece to enjoy with musical friends. Part improvisation, part settings of original folk melodies, part through-composed duets based on pitch sets offered by the community, and all these parts compartmentalized. Experience the joy of Melinda Rice, upper strings, Daniel DeJesus, cello, Sonali Singh, bassoon, Aaron Pond, horn, and Carlos Santiago, violin, together.
