Sun Worship VII at Buoy and new Thursday series at Adelle's
Sun Worship VII at Buoy: In this season of dark and cold, Buoy is offering something vibrant and warm at its gallery space in Kittery, Maine. The seventh installment of the “Sun Worship” music series will present five acts on Saturday, Dec. 18.
Presented by Kittery musician Josh Baker, the quarterly series marks the changing seasons with improvised experimental music, video and art. The upcoming show will celebrate the winter solstice with music from Peace, Loving of Jamaica Plains; 2Lous, a collaboration between Lou Bunk and Lou Cohen; Mystic Out-Bop Review, a Maine-based avant-jazz group; Loup-Garou, featuring Walter Wright of the 119 Gallery in Lowell, Mass.; and Baker’s own Offset Needle Radius.
Alongside the music, Greg Kowalski will manipulate video projections in real time. In addition, Kowalski and Baker will join Peter Donovan and Buoy co-owner Al Mead for an “installation/space alteration/inanimate collaboration.”
The event begins at 8 p.m. on Dec. 18 at Buoy, 2 Government St., Kittery, Maine, www.buoygallery.org. Donations are encouraged.
singing out for the holidays: Women Singing OUT! will join several local church choirs for a holiday concert at First Parish Church in Dover on Saturday, Dec. 18.
The concert will also include the First Parish Church Choir, the First Parish Ringers, the St. John’s United Methodist Church Choir, and the First Parish Bell Choir. They’ll perform festive holiday music, concluding with an audience sing-a-long.
Now in its 12th season, Women Singing OUT! is a lesbian-based chorus that welcomes all women. Directed by Claudia Frost, the group performs two concerts per year, one in the winter and one in late spring.
The show begins at 7 p.m. on Dec. 18 at First Parish Church, 218 Central Ave., Dover. Admission is free, but donations will benefit the local food pantry. For more information, visit www.womensingingout.org.
