DESCRIPTION:Exciting concert…4:30 PM Saturday…in time for dinner in Chester! \nI-Park presents Five New Compositions at The Terris Theater in Chester\, Connecticut on August 24 at 4:30 pm. This concert is the culmination of a week-long\, in-person residency at I-Park’s artists’ retreat in East Haddam\, Connecticut.

This year’s ensemble-in-residence is Hub New Music. Called “contemporary chamber trailblazers” by the Boston Globe\, Hub New Music is a “prime mover of piping hot 21st century repertoire” (Washington Post).

Hub New Music consists of Michael Avitabile (flutes)\, Gleb Kanasevich (clarinets)\, Meg Rohrer (violin/viola) and Jesse Christeson (cello). Currently based in Detroit\, the ensemble’s name was inspired by its founding city of Boston’s reputation as a hub of innovation. I-Park is proud to have brought together the following highly accomplished composers and Hub New Music: Ethan Gonzalez Soledad\, Florida\, Giordano Bruno do Nascimento\, Germany\, Celka Ojakangas\, Los Angeles\, Daniel Sabzghabaei\, New York and Daniel Wohl\, Los Angeles. \nClick for tickets.

SUMMARY:The Power of Friendship Retreat at Mercy by the Sea
DESCRIPTION:You don’t have to do it alone. \nThe Power of Friendship. \nA Weekend Retreat and International Book Launch with Mark Nepo. \nThis retreat will center on Mark’s new book\, You Don’t Have to Do It Alone: The Power of Friendship (St. Martin’s Essentials\, July 2024). You will explore the gift and spirit of friendship\, for friendship is indispensable. You may discover your dearest friends in the dark labyrinth of seeking truth together. Or\, in a moment of feeling vulnerable\, you may feel safe in the care of some trusted other. You often come upon our deepest friends when taking the long way home\, when forced to put down differences\, when humbled to admit that you haven’t a clue where we’re going or how to get there. In the raw and tender space of such honesty\, the net of friendship is woven. In fact\, the root of the word friendship means “place of high safety.” \nThroughout the weekend\, you will look closely at the discovery of kinship\, the nature of friendship\, the inevitable trials by which bonds are strengthened or broken\, the acceptance of our humanness\, and the conduit that lasting friendship becomes to the larger forces of life. \n“After a lifetime of trying to be a good friend\, I feel called to affirm the spirit of friendship\, to praise what it takes to love another well\, and to better understand how friendship helps us live. So Come. Walk with me as we listen for how the spirit of friendship opens us to each other. Until we find the place of high safety where the most tender among us can show who we are\, so we can come alive together\, and affirm to each other that you don’t have do it alone.” —Mark Nepo \nAbout the Presenter\nMark Nepo is beloved as a poet\, teacher\, and storyteller. As the New York Times’ bestselling author of The Book of Awakening\, he has been called “one of the finest spiritual guides of our time\,” “a consummate storyteller\,” and “an eloquent spiritual teacher.” His many books have been translated into more than 20 languages. He has taught for more than 40 years in the fields of poetry and spirituality and is a columnist for Spirituality & Health. In 1987\, Mark was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma. Since then\, he has been a student of all paths.

There are three non-U.S. artists – from Canada\, France and India. Several of the artists are working on site-responsive works.
