Benefit Concert for Liberia's Bromley School
"Where two or more are gathered..." is a benefit concert for Liberia's Bromley School, consisting of favorite operatic and sacred duets, trios and quartets.

The Bromley School is in grave need of donations and funding. Education is the only chance these girls and young women have to possibly step out of a never-ending cycle of oppressive poverty. It gives them a chance, even in the social instability of Liberia, West Africa's damage after 14 years of civil war.

‘Myths & Miracles’
Magical Thinking and the Medieval Mind
Armonia Nova
Constance Whiteside, artistic director

Armonia Nova explores the medieval world of the miraculous, a world of allegorical thought and hidden meanings, interwoven through songs of the natural world and the people and animals that inhabit it. A nightingale, a panther in league with Jupiter and Mars, a unicorn, a turtle dove flying over a meadow, music written in the shape of a harp, a marvelous serpent -- evoke images full of meaning and wonder for the inhabitants of this world. Armonia Nova invites you to see the world through medieval eyes, to experience the marvelous.

This concert is in honor of Early Music America's 25th Anniversary. Armonia Nova is a member of Early Music America www.earlymusic.org .
