Blessing of the Fleet Concert
“Summer (Mostly) Thursdays” begins Saturday, June 12th, from 5:00-6:15 pm, at the Bayfield Presbyterian Church, 306 Washington Avenue, Bayfield, WI with a "pre-Blessing of the Fleet" concert honoring the fishing families who formed the backbone of this area's economy. Featured will be the Duluth-based Gichigami Trio.
Guest musician Betty Braunstein (flute) will join trio members Sam Black (piano), Laurie Bastian (violin), and Josh Aerie (cello) to perform music written by Cincinnati-based composer Rick Sowash (Trio #4), Duluth-based composers Justin Rubin (Night Song for Noa) and Ryan Rhapsys (Hyperborean), Ernst Bloch (Suite Modale), Phillip Gaubert (Watercolors), and Stephen Foster (Swanee River). You might also hear some impromptu selections inspired by water and/or boats.
In keeping with tradition, there is no admission charge, but free will offerings are encourage and gratefully accepted. All offerings go directly to the musicians. If you need more information or would like to help host a "Summer (Mostly) Thursdays" event, please call 715-682-3272 or 715-779-5490.
