The Puddingstone new music series continues this month with another live concert following January’s sold-out performance at Newport’s Old Colony House. Like the previous concerts, this performance will combine performing and non-performing arts in an approachable, intimate 19th century-style salon.
The performance on Thursday, Feb. 22, at 7 p.m. will be “Impressionism and Beyond,” taking place at Gardiner House (Lee’s Wharf, Newport). Visiting from Europe, the highly sought after Fidelio Trio is coming to Newport to present a thrilling program of "Impressionism and Beyond" in the Gardiner House ballroom.
Music by master impressionist Maurice Ravel and his exceptional Trio for Violin, Piano, and Violoncello, as well as an array of exciting pieces from Darius Brubeck, Philip Glass, Ludwig van Beethoven, and a newly commissioned piece composed for the Fidelio Trio by Boston-based composer John McDonald, who will be present to introduce his music and meet with guests.
Award-winning painter Katie Swatland will share a collection of original pieces and speak to her painting technique and inspiration.
Katie Moorhead, one of Newport’s most beloved dancers, will delight the audience with her interpretation of the art presented with improvised dance during selected musical pieces throughout the evening.
Doors open at 7 p.m., followed by the performance at 7:30 p.m. The Gardiner's exquisite bar will be open for the evening for drinks purchases and complementary small bites will be served.
