There is incredible music coming from northeast CT and we are honored to be one mentioned.

Sarah Kaufold @conductor-sarah.bsky.social · Apr 22

Last night, I was asked where I direct choirs. After I responded, the singer said, "I hear great things coming out of NE Connecticut. Ever heard of 'Concinnity'?"

"Yes, yes I have. It is the choir I founded and serve as artistic director."

So glad we are being mentioned!

We celebrate the birth of Florence B. Price, who was a prolific composer whose music was never entered into the canon and was almost lost to history even though she was the first composer who was a Black woman to have a symphony performed by a major American orchestra.

For Women's History Month, we would like to introduce you a child prodigy who later fought for her music to be taken seriously, Maria Rosa Coccia (1759-1833) was a composer, teacher, and harpsichordist. She worked to convince everyone that women can write just as well as men

This multi sectional work was composed by Marianna von Martines, who was an accomplished composer. For a context of when she composed, she was a contemporary of W.A. Mozart and a student of J. Haydn.

Do you know this composer?
As Alex Ross stated in The New Yorker 2018, "not only did Price fail to enter the canon; a large quantity of her music came perilously close to obliteration. [This instance is] a potent symbol of how a country can forget its cultural history."

We also have a large list of choral music related to the night sky.

Voices of Concinnity @concinnityct.bsky.social · Feb 11

In 2021, we presented a program on barriers to viewing the night sky. In addition to concert under stars, we hosted an online discussion w/ experts in science, environmental, & music fields exploring what keeps us from seeing stars. A great listen for International Day of Women & Girls in Science.

During rough times, music can ease or inspire. "It May Be" by Brian Jones is one of those songs that seems to do both, ending with:
"One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
