Next concert: Pine Tree Flyers
Saturday August 15, 4pm at Searsmont Community Center
Searsmont Town Library welcomes back the Pine Tree
Flyers to the 'Live Outside the Library' concert series on Saturday
August 15.
The concert will begin at 4pm on the
lawn (bring your camp chair) of the Community Center if the weather
cooperates, in the Community Room if it is inclement.
Pine Tree Flyers is comprised of four of the finest exponents of New England's traditional music. Amelia Mason writes: "Practically
every aesthetic choice the Pine Tree Flyers make is in service to New
England music’s fundamental accessibility and appeal. In essence, they
are repaying the music for its gift to them: a sense of joy, communion,
and one’s place in the world." Katie McNally
(fiddle), Emily Troll (accordion), Benjamin Foss (guitar), and Neil
Pearlman (piano) - all residents of Maine - cut their teeth playing for
contra dances and touring the world playing Irish, Scottish, and
Quebecois music and they bring this wellspring of knowledge and
technical prowess to the American music born from these traditions.
'Live
Outside the Library' is made free to the public through the generosity
of the Onion Foundation, the Friends of Searsmont Library, and
fundraising by the library Board of Trustees.
Live IN the Library: Sophie Davis & Luke Fatora
Tuesday August 18, 3pm
Searsmont Town Library hosts a special intimate and laid-back

Sophie and Luke are Midcoast-based violinists, violists, filmmakers, and
educators. As a duo, their performances feature a wide variety of music
including many of their own arrangements. Inspired by song and folk
melodies from around the world, their music is a joyful and creative
blend of classical music and traditional tunes. In addition to
performing throughout Maine, Sophie and Luke are independent filmmakers,
co-Artistic Directors of Halcyon Music, and serve on the faculty at the

The concert series is made free to
