Music Tells A Story – and it’s full of enchanting surprises at the Music at Eden’s Edge 2008 Family Concert
Join Music at Eden’s Edge (MEE), the North Shore’s own resident chamber music ensemble, for our 2008 Family Concert, Music Tells A Story, on Sunday, March 30 at 3:00 PM at the beautiful St. John’s Episcopal Church in Beverly Farms.
Music Tells A Story welcomes the arrival of spring with a program designed to enchant music lovers of all ages. You’ll explore the charm, joy and exuberance of the early Baroque as you travel back in time to the early 17th century. Enjoy musical delights for harp, strings and voice, performed on period instruments – a rare treat!
The music also sets the stage for a reading of “The Tale of the Magical Ring,” an ancient fairy tale at once funny and intriguing, narrated by storyteller and long-time host of WCRB’s Kids Classical Hour, Ray Brown. Musical improvisation and selections by Vivaldi, Purcell, Biber and Pachelbel by the MEE ensemble enhance this captivating story.
We are pleased to return to St. John’s Episcopal Church, 705 Hale Street (Route 127) in Beverly Farms for our 2008 Family Concert. This venue is known for its warm atmosphere, elegant architecture and superb acoustics – all of which make the Family Concert a truly enjoyable and memorable experience.
As is tradition with Music at Eden’s Edge’s Family Concert, the program also includes a “Meet the Instruments and Their Owners” intermission. This special time gives audience members, young and old, time to get close to each instrument and sometimes even to try it out. Then stay after the concert and mingle with the artists and Mr. Brown at a free “Meet the Cookies and Their Performer Friends” reception.
Artists for this delightful program are Barbara Poeschl-Edrich, performing on the Baroque harp; Maria Benotti, Baroque violin; Sarah Freiberg, Baroque cello; and mezzo-soprano Amanda Keil.
