Last night, Prism performed for the third year in a row at Art Sip, an event sponsored by the Meridian Arts Commission. (Check out their Facebook page or their website for more detailed information, events, etc.)
This event is a fund-raiser to help raise money for support of arts programs in Meridian, Idaho. The Meridian Arts Commission supports arts education, awareness, and participation by providing grants to people who need it. At this event, people enjoyed: delicious catered food (our favorite were the chicken kebabs), wine from two different local wineries, performances from talented children and adults who are members of a local theater company, classic old-style pies (like bumbleberry and shoofly), a local artist exhibiting her work and creating a painting throughout the evening, a chalk art competition, and a silent auction of great arts-related items (wine, homemade foods, paintings, gift baskets, handmade pottery, etc.).
Prism loves this event and the Meridian Arts Commission. To help support the organization, we donated a certificate for a one hour quartet performance. We are looking forward to this fun opportunity to provide music for someone's upcoming event.
For our musical choices, we did a lot of our modern favorites with a few baroque/classical pieces for variety. Here are some of the selections we played last night (click the blue text to hear clips of us playing selections of those pieces):
- Makin' Whoopee by Donalson
- Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 by JS Bach, Movement 3
- Habanera from "Carmen" by Georges Bizet
- Close to You sung by The Carpenters
- Orinoco Flow by Enya
- You Raise Me Up by JB Graham and Rolf Lovland
- Londonderry Air (a traditional Irish song)
