Songs From Here is a new initiative put together by Maine-based musicians intended to cultivate and celebrate locally written and performed poetry and song. Classical soprano Sarah Tuttle and pianist Bridget Convey will take us on the journey (Songs From Here Bios.) SCROLL DOWN TO ORDER TICKETS.
Our initial project is a series of performances featuring a program that highlights the poetry of New England. The centerpiece of our musical program will be a world premiere of a new song cycle from Erica Ball featuring exclusively poets from Maine. Our performances will also feature readings from locally based poets, creating a seamless and intuitive program of poetry and song that highlights local creativity. We are fortunate to have wonderfully talented local poets Lisa Moore, Gregory Brown, and Winter Lewis interweave their words with Songs From Here.
It is our hope that this project will grow to connect poets, composers, and performers from across Maine, cultivate a culture of song in our state, and provide the basis of a network for fostering collaborations and strengthening artistic community.
