Sing Out Strong: Environmental Voices
Milton Community Concerts
On Sunday, October 5 at 3pm Milton Community Concerts presents “Sing Out Strong: Environmental Voices”, a concert exploring the theme of Climate Change. This concert will take place at First Parish of Milton, 535 Canton Avenue, and will be produced in collaboration with White Snake Projects (Cerise Lim Jacobs, Founding Artistic Director). It will feature soprano Hannah Shanefield, baritone Philip Lima, and pianist Timothy Steele.
The first half of this concert will feature Mr. Lima in a selection of songs highlighting the beauty, power, and wonder of nature. These will include folk songs, sea chanties, and art songs by composers such as Margaret Bonds, Samuel Barber, and Aaron Copland.
The second portion of the program, sung by Ms. Shanefield, will feature newly-composed songs recently commissioned by White Snake Projects, an activist opera company based in Boston. The texts of these songs have been written by ordinary people in our community, ages 16-77, who were each asked to respond to the question “What does the climate crisis mean for your generation?”. The resulting poems have been set to music by some of today’s most promising young composers.
At 2:00, prior to the concert, a free lecture will be given by Claire Karl B.W. Muller. Claire Karl is coordinator of the statewide climate justice coalition Mass Power Forward, and team member of UU Mass Action.
Tickets for this concert are “Pay As You Can”. First Parish of Milton is an accessible venue.
