These performances are a musical offering of vigorous tenderness to the community, fostering an atmosphere of deep listening and reflection.
Vigorous Tenderness provides an earthly and grounded way to observe the passage of time.
The chamber music ensembles spread across the landscape while the audience forges a self-curated path through the installation.
The programming highlights BIPOC and queer composers, and features some of Maine's most thoughtful musicians.
Folks were clearly moved by the experience, as was I.
A deep bow to lead curator and creator, Kallie Sugatski, (photo right), who is committed to amplifying underrepresented voices in classical music. Congrats on being recognized as Mainer of the Year in 2022 by Maine Magazine!
It was my honor to volunteer as their photographer for 3 performances.
