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.
