Musica Sierra presents Fire & Grace & Ash

Musica Sierra presents Fire & Grace & Ash

Musica Sierra tackles its second year of Musical Headwaters, featuring a new song cycle co-commissioned by Edwin Huizinga, and Jonathan Woody. This incredible program features Fire & Grace & Ash, with special guest Kara Dugan. Fire & Grace & Ash is a dynamic trio made up of ace mandolin player and composer Ashley Broder, acclaimed violinist Edwin Huizinga and Grammy award-winning guitarist William Coulter. Joining the trio for this one-of-a-kind program is jack-knife mezzo soprano Kara Dugan. The program will premiere a new song cycle inspired by the illustrious trout found in the Sierra. This composition will explore the musical feel of folk Americana, particularly that of Northern California. The rest of the program will feature a blending of Bach and American fiddle tunes from the trio’s recent album Partita Americana.

Musical Headwaters is a Musica Sierra initiative to create new musical compositions inspired by Sierra Valley, which bridge outdoor education, school performances and Social Emotional Learning to deepen our connection to earth.

*Doors open at 6 pm with cash bar. Concert begins at 7 pm.

This program is presented as part of UPSTAGE: A Literary and Performing Art Series supported by the Nightingale Family Foundation and the Williams Foundation
