I’m very much looking forward to the world premiere of four new songs I wrote based on the poetry of Louis Jenkins at the Schubert Club‘s upcoming Courtroom Concert on April 27th! This set focuses on the Duluth native’s love of nearby Lake Superior: The Lake, Picnic on the Shore, Brighton Beach Waves, and Driftwood, and will be performed by Georgia Jacobson, mezzo soprano and Carson Schneider, piano.
I wrote these songs while staying at Bob’s Cabins on the North Shore which had just opened up for the season on May 9, 2021. It was still chilly, but I eagerly went up there for a week alone to sketch out these pieces. I drew such inspiration from the Lake and these captivating poems! Here’s a glimpse from my time there:
I’m proud to be programmed alongside works by Jeremy Walker and Carol Barnett, and you can visit HERE to learn more about the concert and their music.
