St. Elmo at Night – Sea, Swells, and Light
A 60-Minute Performance with Intermission by Amy Moore,
Brian McKinnon and Brian Guiry
St. Elmo’s Fire is a natural electrical phenomenon which causes swells of light
and sound that can disappear as quickly as they have arrived. Most often observed on tall ship masts in the wasteland of a vast ocean, this luminous event was named after St. Elmo, the patron saint of sailors. Fitting then, that a night of sailor’s travelogue, music, and light-play evokes this “charged” name.
To prevent interruption of light and sound conditions, performers request
no entry or exit during the performance.
I will be playing this instrument which i just played for the first time this very week. it’s a lovely instrument though, and i’m looking forward to the performance. come out and take a look see if you like…and give big props to Amy Moore and Brian McKinnon as the is the brainchild fruit of their imaginative loins.
