Spring concert by the UNG Chorale.

Cellist Justin Dougherty presents the complete Suites for Solo Cello by Benjamin Britten, a gripping twentiethcentury reimagining of the tradition established by Johann Sebastian Bach.
Bold, dramatic, and architecturally commanding, Britten's Suites transform the solo cello into an operatic voice
of striking intensity: at times lyrical, and at times shadowed and unsettling. Heard as a complete cycle, the
three works create a compelling musical journey that bridges Baroque form and modern expression, offering
audiences a rare opportunity to experience one of the twentieth century's most powerful statements for solo
cello in a single evening

are fixed in piano repertoire.

Innovative musicians/dancers with a quirky neo-trad soul, Oakland, California-based Evie Ladin & Keith Terry
throw down original folk songs and deep interpretations of old songs, with the kinetic thrill of percussive
dance.
A prolific singer-songwriter, percussive dancer and square dance caller, the polyrhythmic heat of Evie's
clawhammer banjo has been heard from A Prairie Home Companion to Celtic Connections, Lincoln Center to
Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Born and raised on Southern music, from inner city Baltimore to Oakland, she has
taken home ribbons at stringband contests and won awards for albums.
Trained as a jazz drummer, Keith Terry brings tonal percussion to stand-up bass, is a renowned
percussionist/rhythm dancer, the founder of the International Body Music Festival, and a collaborator with a
host of inventive performers from Bobby McFerrin, Tex Williams and Robin Williams, to Turtle Island Quartet,
Charles "Honi" Coles and Bill Irwin.

The Little Mercies have rapidly grown from three friends at the local jam to headlining festivals in two years time. A force to be
reckoned with, their distinct sound has garnered recognition and awards nationally as Official Showcase artists for the Southeastern
Regional Folk Alliance (SERFA) and finalists for the Freshgrass Awards. Known for their powerful vocal harmonies, raging twin
fiddles, and tear-wrenching lyrics, their music promises an authentic, exuberant experience.
Multi-instrumentalist songwriters, Bronwyn Chelette, Shanice Richards, and Rosalee Walsh united through their love of oldtime
music. With individual expertise in bluegrass, reggae, jazz, folk, and classical, their collective sound respects tradition while
blending genre lines. They also believe that music and dance are two sides of one coin. Their alter-ego contra-dance band
combines oldtime melodies with New England stylings.
