NECOM – Woolshed Series – “Mirani”
Ticket includes refreshments.
The New England Conservatorium of Music’s Woolshed Series presents spectacular springtime concerts in three iconic woolsheds to celebrate the New England’s unique identity and rich cultural heritage: past and present.
Join NECOM in its 20th anniversary year for this unforgettable series that showcases both our region’s wealth of musical talent and the impressive pastoral heritage of the New England.
The series premieres at Mirani Woolshed, built by AS (Poss) Nivison with the first shearing in 1954. Originally an 8-stand shed, it was increased to 10-stands in the 1960s. It is still owned by Poss’ descendants and used to shear the Mirani and Marmindi flocks.
This is a concert for all tastes, showcasing works for cello ensemble which take the audience on a scenic musical journey through the ages from Bach to Debussy, from Queen to Metallica. Famous orchestral excerpts drawing upon pastoral themes featuring the cello section will be interwoven throughout the programme.
Artists: Robert Jackson (cello); Caleb Murray (cello); Robert Manley (cello); Sofia Debus (cello)
Plus we’re partnering with Dobson’s Distillery to offer an exclusive Woolshed Series New England Dry Gin ($87.63). All profits from the sales will go towards NECOM’s Outreach School Music Program fundraising goal.
