Clayton Jackson McGhie Memorial presentation of “ … And They Lynched Him on a Tree” by William Grant Still and the world premiere of Rudy Perrault’s “We Three Kings.” I was unfamiliar with this specific work by Still as it is a choral work, but what I learned about it and how significant a work it is makes me want to hear it again and again! I really wish it were performed more regularly.
On the same program was a work by my UMD colleague Jean Perrault. This work is a premiere for the memorial event, the use of extremes and dissonance really captures for me the pain and discord. Thankful music could connect the past and present.
At the end of a year when the arts provided a shining light and solace in the most difficult of times, An Tain Arts Centre staged an innovative project which reached out to townspeople with a walking tour and an art installation in the windows of the Town Hall.
Taking the title Ghost Light, it echoed the long-standing theatre tradition that has become particularly poignant this year, explains An Tain s director Paul Hayes. By leaving a single bulb burning on stage whenever a theatre is dark, we light the way for friendly spirits, keeping them happy and contented. The light is also a symbol of our intention to soon return to the stage. For us, the light represents creativity, collaboration, and community; an energy that can never be dimmed.
