The Greenwich Arts Council presents “Humanity Restoring,” a concert program performed by Scape Trio and harpist Lisa Tannenbaum, on Thursday, Oct. 20 at 7 p.m.
This hour-long concert will be filled with the music of Handel, Debussy, Strauss, Hasselmans, Stravinsky, and more. Taking an approach from The Traveling Symphony in Station Eleven, the musical pieces have been selected for their emotional and visceral effect upon the listener making an immediate connection with what it means to be human.
Carnegie Hall veterans Scape Trio are master musicians, Nicole Sharlow, Joseph Dermody, and Adriana Maria Pera who have been performing together since 2007. The Trio, here joined by harpist Lisa Tannenbaum, specializes in developing programs and performing alongside the works of living artists to present thought provoking concerts that create multi-sensory experiences.
This program is part of the Greenwich Reads Together project sponsored by the Greenwich Public Library, which each year selects a single book that everyone in town is encouraged to read. This year’s book is Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel which projects a world coming to grips with pandemic disease, while attempting to preserve some scattered bits of humanity’s past.
The concert takes place in the Meeting Room, second floor, of the Greenwich Arts Council, 299 Greenwich Ave. Admission is free, but reservations are required, by calling 203-862-6750. For more information, visit greenwichlibrary.org
