Performances
Larksgrove on the Grace Bailey
Join us for four nights of island hopping and exploring with special musical guest Larksgrove followed by an exciting appearance at the Camden Windjammer Festival!
Along with the rest of the schooners in the Maine Windjammer Association, we will gather in Camden on the final night of our trip to join in on the festivities including a sail parade, passenger & crew talent show, live music and more. A community rich in Maritime history and culture, this homey, small town festival recognizes the part that these vessels play within that culture.
Blending classical and traditional music, the duo Larksgrove brings a fresh voice to the schooner setting. Their unique interpretations of the classics and novel arrangements of traditional fiddle tunes infuse their performances with inventiveness and surprise. Equally at home in the concert hall and the dance hall, Peter Zay, cello and guitar, and EmmaLee Holmes-Hicks, violin and fiddle, enjoy the challenge of playing new styles of music and difficult repertoire, and their performances reveal the comfort and delight they glean from creative collaboration. The perfect music to pair with an evening sunset at anchor in the Penobscot Bay!
Providence House Concert
We hope you can join us for what should be a spectacular house concert in Ruth and Mark’s lovely home on Saturday, July 25, at 1 PM. The program will feature a combination of their own unique arrangements with more traditional repertoires.
Cost: We ask that you each drop $30 in the basket by the door on your way in. All of the money goes to the musicians.
After the performance, there will be food and drinks and an opportunity to chat. If it’s a lovely day, we can even move outside into the garden.
To attend, please email Ruth Guyer at ruth.guyer@gmail.com.
We hope to see you at the concert!

About the band: EmmaLee Holmes-Hicks (violin) grew up on a farm near Chillicothe, where her first audience was a very attentive flock of sheep. From there, her violin has taken her around the world with orchestras from Brazil to Canada and Europe. Raised in the wooded Berkshires of western Massachusetts, Peter Zay (cello, guitar) cut his musical teeth playing in rock and heavy metal bands while studying classical cello and donning his tux for orchestra concerts. Now living on the East Coast, EmmaLee and Peter perform as the duo Larksgrove, savoring their creative collaboration and the challenge of new styles of music and difficult repertoire.
