April 27

Event: "Lovely as a Tree"/chamber music concert featuring poetry
Host: Simple Measures
Location: IslandWood, 4450 Blakely Avenue NE, Bainbridge Island
Time: 3:00 PM-5:00 PM
Details: Simple Measures will again bring its unique brand of interactive chamber music performance to Bainbridge Island, this time to IslandWood. The theme for this concert is music that uses poetry, is inspired by poetry, or that inspired poetry. The all-star lineup includes KUOW radio host Dave Beck, rising operatic bass baritone Jonathan Silvia, as well as star of the theater, the concert stage, and recently the video game world, Ellen McLain, who is the voice of GLaDOS, the computer in the hit video game Portal from Valve. Dave and Ellen will be the orators for William Walton's unique "Facade, and Entertainment", which uses the unusual combination of flute, clarinet, trumpet, saxophone, cello, percussion and two orators speaking the poetry of Dame Edith Sitwell in rhythm to the music, like early rap music. The concert will include a world premiere setting by Boston based composer Don Krishnaswami of the poem "The Inward Morning" by Thoreau, set for baritone, flute, clarinet and cello.
Simple Measures is a Seattle-based non-profit organization founded by noted cellist and teacher, Rajan Krishnaswami, designed to introduce more people to the pleasures of classical music. Our goal is to make chamber music more approachable for avid enthusiasts and the inexperienced alike by bringing world-class performers to Seattle-area neighborhoods-allowing everyone to experience the music in a familiar and unpretentious atmosphere. The intimate and small group setting allows attendees to engage with the artists, ask questions and feel the passion and energy of each artist and the music, up-close and personal.
