Concert: ‘The Beauty We Love’

Grammy Award-winning cellist Eugen Friesen and singer/songwriter Elizabeth Rogers present an evening of creative music.

“The Beauty We Love” will be an intimate evening from 7:30–9:30 p.m. concert featuring:
Eugene Friesen, a graduate of the Yale School of Music, has toured the world as a soloist and as a member of the Paul Winter Consort with whom he’s recorded over 20 CDs, four of which won Grammy Awards. He is a trailblazer on the cello, his innovative improvisational style and original techniques – and twenty years teaching at the Berklee College of Music in Boston – have influenced generations of players. Friesen’s program, including sounds and ideas drawn from travels on six continents, features a diverse repertoire that includes his original music, J.S. Bach, electronics, natural soundscapes, and the poetry of Rumi to paint a portrait of a world united in hope.

Elizabeth Rogers sings stories of the large and small themes that run through a human life. Her voice – which has been compared to Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell – has a delicacy, clarity, and purity that perfectly underscores her insightful lyrics.
