The Poet Sings
Celebrate National Poetry Month with ASTER
The Poet Sings will present beautiful choral and solo vocal music, live and recorded poetry readings, portraits and dramatic excerpts to bring the poems of Dickinson and Cummings to the audience in a vivid and memorable way.
It will feature musical settings of poems by Emily Dickinson and E. E. Cummings by Broomfield’s own Alex Craig, along with Vincent Persichetti and other contemporary American composers. The audience will also hear recordings of Cummings reading his own poetry, and see scenes from The Belle of Amherst, a dramatization of the life of Emily Dickinson. Additionally, a self-portrait of E. E. Cummings will adorn the stage during the performance.
This concert will be a collaboration between ASTER and the Mamie Doud Eisenhower (MDE) Library as a part of National Poetry Month and is appropriate for ages twelve and older.
