During the first set of the evening, EK sang Danny Clay's piece "Children's Songs, Book 2" with text based on kindergarten-age poetry. TN and LF also played mallet percussion during the set as it was written for soprano and two percussionists with recording. The next piece of the evening was EK and HP premiering Scott Sheppard's "Amor" for soprano and flute.
Next was a flute solo played by HP titled "Solitude." Scott Sheppard also composed this piece. Soprano ES and RZ accompanying performed next with André Previn's "Three Dickinson Songs"with text from Dickinson poems. During the next set, EK sang with the composer Trevor Alan Gomes on piano for his "Songs on Shel Silverstein Poems." The last performance of the night "Broken Lights" was composed by James Allen for soprano, baritone, violin, cello, two guitars, and piano.
Admission for the event was free and the sisters of Eta-Iota and the Cincinnati Alumnae chapter provided heavy hors d'oeuvres and desserts. Coffee and raspberry lemonade was also available during the buffet-style pre-concert time.
My plate. I definitely took advantage of not performing by snacking on the great things the chapter provided.

The Evening of New Music was a wonderfully successful concert put on by the Eta-Iota chapter, and it couldn't have run so smoothly without the hard work of EK and the committee.
Have you ever attended or organized a concert like this?
I'm also looking for guest posters for my Shoreline of the Month series. If you have a shoreline that is special to you and you want to post about it here, leave a comment below or email me!
