THE TAPESTRY SINGERS will perform in Newcastle Saturday and Sunday.
The Tapestry Singers, under the direction of Beth Preston and accompanied by Sean Fleming, will perform holiday concerts that include classic and current selections of seasonal music on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 4 p.m. Both concerts will be at the Second Congregational Church, 51 Main St. in Newcastle.
The “Woven In Song” concert will feature newly arranged carols with a Celtic twist featuring fiddler Julia Plumb. Plumb is a singer, fiddler and banjo player whose music is rooted in the musical traditions of New England, Quebec, Ireland, Appalachia, Scotland, Brittany and Scandinavia. She divides her time into many musical projects, including teaching, composition, instrument repair, and performance, mostly with Baron Collins-Hill in their duo Velocipede. Plumb gives group and private lessons in Belfast and teaches at Maine Fiddle Camp in Montville and The Acadia School of Traditional Music and Arts in Bar Harbor.
Tapestry Singers concerts always include a range of musical selections that offer something for everybody, from classical to more modern choral music. Instrumentalists on the program are Marcus Hutchins, woodwinds and Carol Preston, violin.
“We hope the musical selections will flow seamlessly to create an atmosphere that fill our audiences with the same joy with which we prepared it,” said Preston. “The concert repertoire is chosen to both warm and challenge our sensibilities. We are truly ‘Woven In Song.’”
Tickets are $15 and are available at the door or online at tapestrysingersmaine.org/tickets. Students are admitted free of charge.
