Composers Christina Goh (France) and Mary Bichner (USA) are delighted to announce that Rencontres Poétiques, their collaborative poetry-inspired concert series, will be returning to the stage on September 25th + 26th @ 6:00pm.

Rencontres Poétiques (“Poetic Encounters” in English) is a poetry-focused international concert series that features musical settings composed by Goh and Bichner for classic poems in both French and English; inspired by the works of Phillis Wheatley, Ovid, Edgar Allan Poe, Benjamin Franklin, Emily Dickinson, and more. This edition of the series will also feature the world premiere of Christina Goh’s “L’ecrin auburn”, a brand new work inspired by Mount Auburn Cemetery and its many treasures.
Tickets are $15 for members and $20 for non-members for this all-ages show, and can be purchased in advance right here:
Thank you so much to Christina Goh and Mount Auburn Cemetery for this wonderful new set of concerts, and can't wait to see everyone soon!
