SANFORD — But wait, there’s more! The Sanford Performing Arts Center has extended their popular Partner’s Bank Spotlight Series season with two more shows in June.
At 5 p.m. Father’s Day, Sunday, June 18, the Portland Bach Experience will present Hayden’s “The Creation.”
This revolutionary experience celebrates the scientific milestone of the James Webb Telescope’s images from 13.5 billion years ago by exploring the sights and sounds from the Big Bang through music and performance. This immersive concert features 2021 GRAMMY-winning soprano Sarah Brailey and the Flying Gravity Circus! Other highlights include:
• J.S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 — Part of a six-year cycle, Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 uses the unusual instrumentation of two horns, three oboes, and violino piccolo. This year we introduce the first in the cycle of “New Brandenburgs,” six contemporary companion
pieces that are inspired by Bach’s original concertos.
• Haydn: Dialogues — In a multi-season project, the Cramer Quartet reimagines the traditional string quartet cycle. June 2023 features Haydn’s Op. 71 quartets alongside a commissioned work composed by intifiggis-vizueta.
Portland Bach Experience (PBE) enlivens, strengthens, and connects communities by creating world-class, immersive classical music experiences for everyone. PBE believes live music bridges generations, connects friends, and strengthens communities. To that end, they program
a wide range of events for people of all ages and interests, including full orchestral performances, intimate salons in private homes and art galleries, public sing-alongs, outdoor performances, educational lectures, and hands-on events for children.
Advance tickets are $30 for students and seniors and $35 for adults in advance via www.sanfordpac.org or available at the door for $40.
On Friday, June 30, the Strafford Wind Symphony will present an All-American Pops concert that will get you in the mood for the Independence Day the following week. Tickets are now on sale.
