Amelia McMahon and I had a great time performing at this Musique Royale Cookie Concert! We were playing a mixed program of classical, folk, jazz, and pop songs arranged for harp and voice, with a special appearance by Scott Kingsley on bass.

Fictional Music

On April 23, New Hermitage was part of Tom Richards' installation composition at the Halifax Central Libray - Fictional Music. This piece was inspired by Borges short story "The Library of Babel" and consisted of music played simultaneously on four floors by four different ensembles. The audience could walk around and explore the soundscape, mixing between the various musicians. It was very cool and will hopefully happen again!

Charlie and Ellen at the Woodshed

Last month, Charlie Wilson (flute, whistle) and I played a series of concerts in the Wood Shed, a tiny concert venue right on Petite Riviere on the South Shore. It was our debut performance as a duo, playing mostly original tunes by Charlie. Stay tuned for Charlie's upcoming album of new compositions!
