SUMMARY:Music in the Square : Choro Louco
DESCRIPTION:Brazilian Choro has been around for over a hundred years. Its beautiful melodies\, complex harmonies\, and syncopated rhythms combine elements of European folk and classical\, ragtime\, jazz\, Latin\, and African music creating a style that is uniquely Brazilian and enormously appealing. \nThe members of Choro Louco started meeting informally in 2013 to play through some choro tunes – and have evolved into a classic sounding choro ensemble. They are driven by a love of the music and a desire to share it with others. None have ever been to Brazil\, but they’re crazy enough to give it a try…hence the name\, Choro Louco… \nCarl Dimow\, flute and guitar\, has played jazz\, classical\, and klezmer music here and abroad with the Casco Bay Tummlers\, and numerous other ensembles. Nicole Rabata\, Carl’s former student and now a teacher herself\, is best known in celtic music circles\, but also plays classical flute with the Colby College orchestra and the Bangor symphony. Joel Eckhaus comes from an old time/jazz/pop/vaudeville background and has applied his knowledge of the ukulele to the cavaquinho\, Brazil’s version of the uke. David Newsam. 7-string guitar and mandolin\, brings decades of experience as a jazz and classical guitarist to his choro playing. Eric La Perna\, fabulous percussionist with Okbari and Alhan\, brings his great hand percussion skills to the pandeiro\, the Brazilian tambourine.

SUMMARY:Downeast Soul Coalition
DESCRIPTION:Five musicians who met in Maine’s musical melting pot\, Downeast Soul Coalition has been serving up a tasty and original blend of soul\, funk\, blues\, and R&B since 2012. Each member of the Coalition brings a wealth of musical talents and influences to the band’s high energy performances. \nDSC’s tight sound is anchored by funky bassist frontman Scott Morrison and driven by the relentless grooves of drummer Nancy Durham. It features the scorching sounds of guitarist Nelson Nadeau\, punchy horn lines and soulful saxophone solos by Kate Campbell Strauss\, and the jump blues rhythms and beastly Hammond solos of Mike Vaughan. DSC has produced and released two albums\, which have received airplay on WMPG\, WBLM\, and WHUS. The band continues to attract a loyal following and moves audiences at clubs\, festivals\, and parties throughout Maine.

SUMMARY:Pelleas et Melisande Open Air Screening
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for an evening film screening of the Claude Debussy’s opera Pelléas et Mélisande\, directed and designed by brilliant postmodernist Richard Wilson\, at the Salzburg Festival in 1997. Wilson reinterprets this turn ­of ­the ­century love triangle with his signature minimalist set design and movement while staying true to the opera’s classical sense\, and his production is rich and dreamlike in shifting blues. \nBring a picnic and a blanket indulge in this stark\, strange\, and deeply beautiful story of thwarted love.
