Music and Painting
We returned to Franklin School on May 29th for an afternoon of “Paint the Music” for a combined event with the music and art classes. The kids painted to a performance of Debussy’s Impressionist masterpiece, Sonate for flute, viola and harp.
Also on May 29th, at 6pm, EEC directors, Laura Gilbert and Jonathan Bagg, joined the eloquent harpist, Jacqui Kerrod,, for a special performance at the Historical Society of Cheshire County, in conjunction with opening day of their exhibit Treasured Places, Protected Spaces celebrating environmental conservation in painting.
On May 30th at 2:00, EEC played an hour long concert for the residents of the Memory Care Unit at Summerhill Assisted Living, Peterborough. That evening we returned to Plowshare Farm, Greenfield, for a post-dinner concert of music by Robert Patterson, Timo Andres and Toru Takemitsu.
Three new partnerships
EEC announced collaborations with three new outreach partners: Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, Keene, the Dublin School, Dublin, and the Historical Society of Cheshire County, Keene
On Friday, April 17 soprano, Tony Arnold, Cleonice Trios’s pianist, and cellist Emely Phelps and Gwen Krosnick, flutist and co-director, Laura Gilbert and composer, Eric Moe, performed music of Ravel, Poulenc, Prokofiev and Moe in a Morning Meeting performance followed by a day-long open rehearsal at the Dublin School. It was an extraordinary day of music and conversations between the musicians and students – the beginning of a beautiful friendship!
That same afternoon, we all headed to Franklin Elementary School for an intimate performance and reception in the music room at Franklin Elementary, hosted by Franklin’s amazing music teacher, Melanie Everard. It was a wonderful way to end our long day of work – playing for students, the very young members of Franklin’s Opera Club and a group of Franklin’s teachers and staff. A festive way for everyone to celebrate the beginning of Spring Break!
