New Hermitage was lucky enough yesterday to be the house band for a powerful afternoon of poetry on Neptune Theatre's studio stage. The event was part of Emerge Fest, a multi-day festival and conference featuring Halifax artists, songwriters, and performers. The impressive lineup of poets included General Khan, Killa Atencio, Niambi Tree, Mateo Ferguson, Allysa Flint, and Martha Mutale.
Last night, India Gailey and I played a fun program of cello/harp duo music - Harrison, Morlock, Pärt, MacKelvie, and some improvisation. The concert took place at Government House downtown and we were there as representatives of the Nova Scotia Talent Trust, a fabulous organization that has supported both India and I in our musical studies. The whole thing was livestreamed and a video of the entire performance is below (music starts at 13:35).
