The Tapestry Singers, directed by Beth Preston, will present concerts on Saturday, June 3 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, June 4 at 4:00 p.m. at the Second Congregational Church in Newcastle entitled, “Daybreak and Nightfall”. The concert will feature the “Sunrise Mass” by Ola Gjeilo and accompanied by the Da Ponte String Quartet. Influenced by movie score composers, Ola Gjeilo’s setting of the Mass paints a wonderful musical landscape. Each movement is titled programmatically to evoke imagery beyond the traditional setting of the Mass text (The Spheres, Sunrise, The City, Identity and the Ground). Patrick Preston, Lincoln Academy sophomore, has created a film accompaniment for the first three movements of the mass.The second half of the program will include works by Morten Lauridson, Eric Nelson, Gwyneth Walker and others not traditionally sung in a classical choral setting, such as Ralph Stanley, Billy Joel, and Lennon and McCartney. Tickets available at the door ($15 adults, FREE for students) or online at TapestrySingersMaine.org/Tickets.
