Middleburgh Library Notes for Wednesday, August 14, 2019

Windbourne will perform at the Middleburgh Library on Wednesday, Aug. 21, at 7 p.m.

Windborne is a group of vocal chameleons who specialize in close-harmony singing, shifting effortlessly between drastically different styles of traditional music within the same concert. Its members’ musical knowledge spans many continents and cultures, but they remain deeply rooted in American folk singing traditions.

Praised for “the purity of their voices, strength of their material, and attention to detail in their arrangements,” Lynn Mahoney Rowan, Will Thomas Rowan, Lauren Breunig, and Jeremy Carter-Gordon share a vibrant energy onstage — their connection to each other and to the music clearly evident. They educate as they entertain, telling stories about the music and explaining the characteristics and stylistic elements of the traditions in which they sing.

This event is made possible (in part) with public funds from the Decentralization Program and the New York State Council on the Arts, administered through the Community Arts Grants Program by the Greene County Council on the Arts. 

Tickets are available at the door. A $10.00 donation is suggested. Please use the library’s back entrance.
