We’re happy to say that MAGPIE FEST will take place as a two-part concert on a single evening, this Saturday the 27th!
Romantic 20th-century works will be juxtaposed with contemporary offerings for a unique blend of classical programming, ending on a meditative note honoring modernist luminary Morton Feldman’s 100th birth year.

Part 1, Sunset (8 pm) features nearly an hour of music, beginning with George Enescu’s lush, thrilling Impressions d’enfance and drifting into the night with progressively more meditative works written closer to the present day. All pieces will be played as a continuous stream of music without pauses, mimicking an album listening session.

After a break and some refreshments, stick around for part 2, Meditations (9 pm), with two engaging ambient piano works. Magpie violinist Lauren Conroy plays selections from her multi-movement backyard trees + safe and dry, and the program closes with Palais de Mari, Morton Feldman’s final piano piece.

Tickets are FREE, with a $20 suggested donation
