Composer Robert Sirota’s annual Muzzy Ridge Concerts series returns for a fourth season. Presented over the series’ second weekend, August 31 and September 1, the Gossamer Trio (Carol Wincenc, flute; Claire-Marie Solomon, cello; Nancy Allen, harp) showcase the works of several different composers, highlighting music from throughout the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries including Promenade Sentimentale (1904) by Théodore Dubois; Sleepers Awake (2020) and Folksong Suite by William Healy; Assobio A Jato, (The Jet Whistle) (1950) by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Sonatine En Trio (between 1903 & 1905) by Maurice Ravel, Après Un Reve (1878) and Morceau De Concours (1898) by Gabriel Fauré; and Romanian Folk Dances (1915) by Béla Bartók.

This year’s four performances are once again presented over two weekends on August 24-25 and August 31-September 1, all at 3pm. All the concerts will be presented in the Searsmont, Maine studio of series founder and Artistic Director Robert Sirota – the creative sanctuary where he has composed a great deal of his work throughout the past 35 years. Each of the concert programs performed on the two Saturdays will be repeated on the respective Sundays. Performances will run for approximately 60 minutes with no intermission. Indoor seating is limited to 50 patrons with an additional 20 outdoor seats.
