- Notes: TWO CENTURIES OF AMERICAN MUSIC AT ST. JOHN’S IN THOMASTON Sean Fleming, organist and pianist; John David Adams, bass-baritone; and Anthony Antolini, pianist, will collaborate in a concert entitled “An American Sampler: A Chronological Retrospective of American Music from 1814 to 2014,” at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 200 Main Street, Thomaston, at 7:30 PM on Saturday, August 9. A suggested donation of $15 will be requested. A portion of the proceeds of the performance will go toward funding St. John’s charitable outreach projects. The program will include songs by Stephen Foster, John Duke, Cole Porter, Ned Rorem, Leonard Bernstein and mid-coast composer Aaron Robinson, sung by John David Adams, accompanied by pianist Sean Fleming with guest cellist Richard Francis. Robinson’s “I Paint What I see” sets to music E.B. White’s poem of the same name, written in reaction to the controversy over the artist Diego Rivera’s mural for the newly built Rockefeller Center. Anthony Antolini and Sean Fleming will play an organ duet by Louis Meyer and Myron Roberts’s Sonata for Piano and Organ. Roberts, 1912-2004, was a longtime mentor to Antolini. The program will also include patriotic American songs for all to sing.
