Composer / Performer PortraiT
August 8 - 11, 2019

What happens when a composer is also an avid performer and vice versa? What does that open up for the music and music-making process? Scrag’s 2018-19 season closes with an exciting concert showcasing three composers who are also active concertizers -- Jessica Meyer (viola), Eve Beglarian (vocals and electronics), and Scrag’s co-Artistic Director Evan Premo ​(double bass). Each concert will include a range of dynamic works composed and performed by all three artists, and joined by Scrag co-Artistic Director and soprano Mary Bonhag.

Scrag concerts are "Come as you are. Pay what you can." Donations will be collected at intermission. Reservations are encouraged as venues will fill up. To reserve your spot please contact us at [email protected], (802) 377-3161, or register on-line at the button below.​
