- Notes: Back by popular demand, Maine Friends of Music, a professional chamber ensemble composed of flutist Linda Brunner, bassoonist David DeBolt, and keyboardist Sean Fleming, will perform at Montpelier – the big white house at the turn to Saint George in Thomaston – on Wedneday, June 26, at 6:30 p.m. Advance tickets can be purchased online at www.knoxmuseum.org or by calling 354-8062. The Maine Friends of Music are pleased to welcome renowned soprano Mary Sullivan. The program will feature several pieces for soprano and ensemble. Sullivan has appeared as a soloist with numerous ensembles in New England, including the Oratorio Chorale, Cantemus, the Concord Women’s Chorus, and the Lincoln Festival Chorus. Maine Friends of Music specializes in quick-paced programs that create interesting listening experiences, with a variety of tone, colors, and styles. Much of the ensemble’s repertoire features a mixture of classic eighteenth-century Baroque selections, including works by Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, as well as twentieth century composers such as Debussy, Hindemith, Vaughan-Williams and Koechlin. New music written for the Maine Friends of Music concerts by crossover classic/jazz composer Bill Douglas, as well as material composed by Bernard Garfield, Sean Fleming, and David DeBolt expands the ensemble’s repertoire further. This concert marks the tenth time Knox Museum has hosted the popular group’s Baroque and Beyond repertoire in its Federal-period appointed Oval Room, so renowned for its acoustics. Seating is limited and reservations are recommended. For more information contact Knox Museum at (207) 354-8062 or info@knoxmuseum.org.
