Bowdoin College Concert Series 

Prelude to a Dream

Resinosa Ensemble

Studzinski Recital Hall

Bowdoin College, Brunswick, ME

Resinosa Ensemble

Following Resinosa’s acclaimed debut season in 2016,  the trio is delving into the music of dreams, featuring Maine composer John Newell, Boston-based composer Scott Wheeler and American composer Paul Rudoi.  Brahm’s alto songs for mezzo, piano & cello and selections by Leonard Bernstein and Czech composer Bohuslav Jan Martinů round out the program. 
The Resinosa Ensemble is a recently formed chamber trio featuring Joëlle Morris, Mezzo-Soprano, Eliza Meyer, cello and Bridget Convey, piano. This ensemble came together out of a love to perform chamber music, working with contemporary composers, and generally offering music slightly off the beaten path. Resinosa’s debut season in 2016 explored works of women composers, spanning 900 years featuring works of wildly different styles going from Hildegard Von Bingen to Libby Larsen.

With an affinity for contemporary music, Resinosa regularly features new works by Maine composers Vineet Shende, John Newell, Rick Nelson, Dan Sonenberg, and Beth Wiemann as well as Boston-based composer Scott Wheeler and Josh Jandreau. The Resinosa Ensemble has performed at Colby College, Bates College, the UUCC music series and the Black Cove Contemporary Music Festival at the Portland Conservatory. They are looking forward to upcoming concerts at Bowdoin College and the Eastport Arts Center.

Spanish guitar in the 1860’s: solos and canciones

Spanish guitar in the 1860’s: solos and canciones

St Luke’s Cathedral Chapel

143 State Street, Portland, ME

spanish-guitarTimothy Burris, guitar, with special guest Joëlle Morris, mezzo-soprano.

This program is something of an experiment, bringing the performance-practice methodologies of early music to bear on a relatively recent body of music. The earliest piece on the program was published in 1860, or 159 years in the past. In fairness, had early music pioneer Arnold Dolmetsch (1858 – 1940) included music of early- to mid-period Haydn on one of his programs, the gap in time would have been about the same.

This program consists of the music of one decade(the 1860’s) in one country (Spain) composed for one instrument (the guitar). This decade was selected because the guitar used in the concert is a copy of an instrument built in 1864 by Antonio de Torres Jurado (and numbered FE17, or ‘First Epoch 17’). Guitar solos include works by Julián Arcas, Jaume Bosch (born in Barcelona, his German last name notwithstanding), Antonio Cano, and José Viñas; songs by Tomas Damas round out the program.

Handel’s Judas Maccabaeus

Maine Music Society

Gendron Franco Center

Lewiston, ME

Judas MaccabaeusGeorge Frederic Handel composed this oratorio in 1746, five years after he wrote the more famous oratorio Messiah. This piece is based on the period when Judea was occupied by a dynasty of Hellenist kings who set about the destruction of the Jewish religion. The adherence to all Jewish law was forbidden. The story unfolds with the solos and choruses dramatizing the fight of the Maccabees against – and their eventual victory over – the occupying kings. The stunning music includes famous choruses, most notably the “Hallelujah, Amen.” You are sure to be moved by the magnificent music of this Baroque master.
