22 Feb 12 - 07:27 AM (#3311776) Subject: RE: House Concert South Portland ME 4.14.12 From: maeve This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy top-notch harmonies. Here's a quote from their website, linked above: "Kallet, Epstein and Cicone Cindy Kallet, Ellen Epstein and Michael Cicone have had the pleasure of performing together in concerts, coffeehouses, and festivals throughout New England since 1981. Their close harmonies have inspired enthusiastic responses from audiences and critics alike. The trio sings both a cappella and accompanied by guitar and hammered dulcimer, drawing material from contemporary and traditional music of the British Isles and North America, with a liberal sprinkling of sea music and occasional forays into other cultures as well. The threesome released their third recording, Heartwalk, in 2008. They are currently celebrating their 30th year of making music together! Cindy Kallet is a songwriter, singer and guitarist with five solo albums to her credit. Working On Wings To Fly and Cindy Kallet 2 on Folk Legacy Records, and Dreaming Down A Quiet Line, This Way Home, and Leave the Cake in the Mailbox - Songs for Parents and Kids Growing Up (chosen for a 2004 Parents' Choice Gold Award ) on Stone's Throw Music. She has also recorded a collaborative effort with Gordon Bok entitled Neighbors (Timberhead), a duo album with Grey Larsen, Cross the Water, and has extensive performing experience throughout North America. Cindy's love for the natural beauty of the New England coast has been the inspiration for many of her songs. The CINDY KALLET SONGBOOK - A Collection for Guitar and Voice published in 2003 by Stone's Throw Music, contains words, music. chords, and guitar tab for 32 original songs. Click here for more about Cindy Ellen Epstein has enjoyed playing guitar and singing with adults and children for more than 40 years. She has lent her harmonies to numerous recording projects, including all of Cindy's solo albums, and to many singing groups, including the Boston-based folk chorus Northern Harmony. In 2007, Ellen received her credential as a Certified Music Practitioner with the Music for Healing and Transition Program, which trains musicians to play bedside music for people who are ill or dying. Please go to www.overallmusic.com for more information about Ellen and the Music for Healing and Transition Program. Michael Cicone has been singing and dancing in the Boston area since 1979. He has performed with the Christmas Revels in Cambridge and New Hampshire, and was a member of both the travelling folk festival Green Mountain Crossing, and instrumental trio Filigree Deep. He teaches hammered dulcimer and English country dance, and can also be heard on Cindy's recent albums. His most recent release is an instrumental collaboration with Susan Robbins entitled Sea Change." *************************************** To order trio recordings, please go to: http://www.cindykallet.com/music |

14 Apr 12 - 02:27 PM (#3338294) Subject: RE: Hse Concert SPortland ME 4/14 KalletEpsteinCicone From: maeve Nope. Just bought some and thought it might hit the spot. |
15 Apr 12 - 11:15 AM (#3338642) Subject: RE: Hse Concert SPortland ME 4/14 KalletEpsteinCicone From: maeve Thanks to Sins and Jacqui for presenting Kallet, Epstein, & Cicone last night. They are such talented and generous singers it's always a deep pleasure to hear them. It was also a delight to listen to three friends who have formed the new harmony group Meteora |
15 Apr 12 - 11:54 AM (#3338655) Subject: RE: Hse Concert SPortland ME 4/14 KalletEpsteinCicone From: SINSULL Meteora will be in concert inSouth Portland sometime soon. Watch for further details. Meantime, we had a good size crowd and wonderful music both during and after the concert. Thank you all. SINS, who is tired but happy. |
15 Apr 12 - 07:40 PM (#3338847) Subject: RE: Hse Concert SPortland ME 4/14 KalletEpsteinCicone From: Jeri It was a great concert, and I'd highly recommend anyone who has never heard them get to a concert. Those of you who HAVE heard them don't need my encouragement. It was the perfect balance between professional and relaxed. It was also pretty amazing to have the audience peppered with Quasimodal Chorus folks. True surround sound! The room was packed, but comfortably so. The guests they called up to sing with them were treats, as was Meteora. After the music, there was some more music. Kendall told a few stories, some specifically requested, all enjoyed. There was some James Taylor and Farewell to Nova Scotia by Cindy, who got the version (I believe) from Kendall. I did Mollymauk and was bouyed up on harmony. (Seriously, it's like Memory Foam™ for the soul.) I slept, I woke, I ate and drove home, listening to Heart Walk all the way. |
16 Apr 12 - 06:54 AM (#3338977) Subject: RE: Hse Concert SPortland ME 4/14 KalletEpsteinCicone From: kendall It was indeed a very nice evening.It's always a treat to see Maeve, Will Brown and Jeri; they can't come to these gatherings as often as I would like. I got to show off my new Octave Mandolin, even if I can't play it YET. |
16 Apr 12 - 07:19 AM (#3338981) Subject: RE: Hse Concert SPortland ME 4/14 KalletEpsteinCicone From: jacqui.c These evenings are worth all the effort that goes into putting them together and to have a good audience number is the icing on the cake. Cindy & co obviously enjoy working together and the resultant music is a real treat. I was hooked when the started the performance wit 'Bonnet and Shawl' - one of my favourites. Having 'guest artistes' join the group made it even more enjoyable and yes, we will be asking Meteora to come back and do their own show. The aftersong was wonderful - Cindy and Will indulged me by doing 'Going Away', my favourite track from the Utah Phillips tribute CD, and I've been having earworms ever since the evening of 'Nova Scotia' and 'Mollymauk'. Kendall was in fine form, telling his stories in his own inimitable fashion. Oh, and for two days ownership he ca produce recognisable tunes on the mandolin. |
