5/18 - Inaugural concert and launch party at Windhover Center for the Performing Arts.

Join the Cape Ann Guitar Society for its inaugural concert, featuring classical guitarist Brendan Evans playing Mysteries and Legends, a recital of guitar music conjuring strange and haunting tales from Turkey, Spain, and New England. Carlo Domeniconi’s Koyunbaba, a suite pastorale describing “the natural beauty of a little bay” overlooking the Aegean Sea, is inspired by Turkish music and the legend of the shepherd saint Koyunbaba. Selections from Manuel de Falla’s ballet El Amor Brujo, a tale of love, ghosts, and witchcraft, will include Fisherman’s Romance and the Song of the Will O’ the Wisp, arranged for solo guitar. Russian composer Nikita Koshkin’s Usher’s Waltz is a meditation on Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher, which opens with the quote: “his heart is a suspended lute, as soon as it is touched, it resounds.”
