For one year cellist Steuart Pincombe and his wife and singer Michelle are traveling around the country bringing the highest level of classical music performance to homes, churches, cafés, bars – places where people are comfortable and where community already exists. The tour is called Music in Familiar Spaces and it will be stopping in Bloomington in March.

On Wednesday March 16th at 6:30pm at the Bloomington First Presbyterian Church the couple will present a concert called “What Wondrous Love” together with local violinist Jody Killingsworth. The program features spirituals and music from the early shape-note tradition in America, adapted and arranged for voice, violin and cello. The audience will experience some elements of the early shape-note singalongs, being seated on all four sides of the performers and asked to join in singing for the last piece.

One of the aims of the Music in Familiar Spaces tour is make classical music accessible to a wide and varied audience. This will be accomplished not only by performing in familiar spaces, but by designing programs that invite the audience to experience the music in a new and engaging way. Concert-goers will also be asked to name-their-own-ticket-price, paying what they can afford and what they deem the concert is worth.
