Brendon Wilkins leads his organ trio for an evening of swinging jazz featuring the music made famous by Stanley Turrentine, Shirley Scott, and Jimmy Smith. The Hammond B3 organ has been an integral part of the jazz tradition, and is tied to the signature sound of all three of these musicians. Tenor saxophonist Brendon Wilkins will be joined by Chicago-based organist Henry Dickhoff and New York City-based drummer Hank Allen-Barfield.

Vigorous Tenderness

Brendon Wilkins - Baritone Saxophone

Black Mary by Shelley Washington

Vigorous Tenderness is an outdoor distanced concert series that amplifies marginalized voices in classical music and democratizes new/experimental music.

​

A response to pandemic music-making, Vigorous Tenderness brings audiences to meaningful outdoor spaces and invites them to re-engage safely with acoustic sound.  These experimental performances resemble an art museum experience, with chamber music ensembles spread across the landscape while the audience forges a self-curated path through the installation. The programming highlights BIPOC and queer composers, and features some of Maine's most thoughtful musicians.
