Everwood Farmstead Foundation continues its 11th season of the Artist Series on Saturday, August 19th with a concert reading of Nautilus Music-Theater's MOONLIT WALK HOME based on the writings of Fern Green Baldwin with music by Daniel Nass featuring Christina Baldwin and Jennifer Baldwin Peden, pianist Sonja Thompson and violinist Elizabeth Bell.
Picnic at 4:30 PM
Doors open 6:30 PM
Show at 7:00 PM
MOONLIT WALK HOME is a new operatic music-theater piece adapted from the poetry of Fern Green Baldwin, mother of eight, wife, artist, grandmother, and great grandmother, featuring her daughters Jennifer Baldwin Peden (soprano) and Christina Baldwin (mezzo). Composer Daniel Nass and director/dramaturg Ben Krywosz collaborated with Jennifer and Christina to create an operatic meditation for the theater, adapting Fern's writing into moments that sing, giving voice to a spirit that describes, remembers, celebrates, laments, and forecasts a life of quiet substance.
