Halcyon String Quartet: Realized

On Sunday, July 14th at 4pm the Halcyon String Quartet will perform Realized, a multimedia concert combining stop-motion animation with live music.  The concert will be held at First Parish UU church in Kennebunk.  A $25 donation is requested at the door.

With animated films and stories inspired by a series of workshops with Maine high school students, Realized amplifies the artwork and voices of young people as they reflect on the present and imagine what a resilient, sustainable, and equitable future on this planet could look like. This diverse program of music features J.S. Bach, Caroline Shaw, Villa-Lobos, Mozart, Philip Glass, and Nordic folk tunes.  Realized is a creative, honest, and hopeful multimedia program exploring the potential we all have to enact meaningful change in our communities. Halcyon is thrilled to collaborate with pianist Chris Staknys for the Finale of Schumann's beloved Piano Quintet. 

Halcyon is a Maine-based artist collective and string quartet that reflects on the challenges and opportunities of a climate-changed world. Halcyon partners with scientists, musicians, artists, and composers to present 4-5 multishow performance projects throughout Maine each year. Their films have been screened at the Maine International Film Festival and Reel Teal Film Festival.
