Sunday Concerts at Loring-Greenough
Pentimento (Italian for "repentance"). In painting, an underlying image (an earlier painting or drawing) that shows through as the topmost layer of paint becomes transparent with age. These ghostly images reveal the artist’s original concept or intent. In a similar manner, Pentimento strives to make visible the underlying melodies of the highly decorated repertoire. Eric Haas studied recorder with John Tyson and baroque flute with Sandra Miller. He has taught at New England Conservatory, Tufts University and Wheaton College, as well as numerous early music workshops. Olav Chris Henriksen, acclaimed throughout Europe and North America as a soloist on lute, theorbo and early guitars, is also a much sought-after ensemble player. The 16th season of the Sunday Concert Series, generously sponsored by house member James Spriggs, recreates the atmosphere of 18th and 19th century “musical afternoons” in the 1760 Loring Greenough House.
3pm - The Loring Greenough House, 12 South Street, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130
