Jay Ungar and Molly Mason The Friends of Northwest Park are pleased to present an evening with Jay Ungar and Molly Mason on Saturday, March 14th at 7:30 pm at the Northwest Park Nature Center in Windsor. If you love American acoustic music, don’t miss Jay Ungar & Molly Mason. These extraordinary musicians won international acclaim after Ken Burns’ The Civil War hit the airwaves. Their performance of Jay’s haunting composition Ashokan Farewell - the musical hallmark of the PBS series - left a lasting impression on everyone who tuned in. The soundtrack won a Grammy and Ashokan Farewell was nominated for an Emmy. This concert will appeal to all ages. There are timeless renditions of hard-driving Appalachian melodies, Cajun and Celtic fiddle tunes, stirring Civil War classics, sassy songs from the golden age of swing and country, stunning waltzes, and moving original works. Northwest Park Nature Center is a alcohol-free, handicap accessible facility located in Windsor, Connecticut. Proceeds benefit the Gordon & Libby Taylor Educational Fund for environmental education at the Park. For information and reservations call 860-285-1886 or on line at www.northwestpark.org. |
