Moira Smiley + Shelter Music Boston String Quartet

  • Community Church of Boston 565 Boylston Street Boston, MA, 02116 United States (map)

Co-sponsored by Shelter Music Boston and Community Church of Boston, a concert of powerful, aching, ageless, and ever-charged folk songs performed by voice and string quartet. We celebrate and raise awareness of the great work Shelter Music Boston does to bring music, conversation and joy to people experiencing housing insecurity and substance use disorder. This Thursday evening concert is anchored by powerhouse vocalist / composer / arranger, Moira Smiley and her dazzling arrangements for voice (and sometimes banjo, piano or accordion) plus string quartet that comprise her new album, The Rhizome Project. The quartet brings together four of Boston’s most innovative and respected string players; Lysander Jaffe, Lizzy Cook, Annegret Klaua, and Yonah Zur.
