 | Paul Winter Consort Concert |
 |
|
One of the highlights of this anniversary year will be the return of the Paul Winter Consort. On the afternoon of September 12th our pastures will once again be filled with the extraordinary melodies and rhythms of this Emmy Award winning group.
Back in the early 70s Paul lived in the cottage on the farm. He, Carmen and co-founder Sally Trippe were fast friends. Paul gave a benefit concert as the Foundation was being formed, he returned in 1988 for a joyous afternoon of music, and we can’t think of a more appropriate way to celebrate this special anniversary.
Paul and the Consort are known for their rich sound textures and distinct blend of the instrumental voices. Their recorded sounds from the natural world are “interwoven with classical and ethnic traditions, the whole infused with the spontaneous spirit of jazz.” Paul’s website states that the Consort has performed over 2,000 concerts in major concert halls of the Americas, Europe and Asia, in major cathedrals such as Washington's National Cathedral, Grace Cathedral in San Francisco and New York's St. John the Divine, and in such places as the White House, the Grand Canyon, the Negev Desert in Israel and the palace of the Crown Prince of Japan.
In recognition of his musical contributions to the environment, Paul has been honored with many awards, among them the Global 500 Award from the United Nations, the Award of Excellence from the United Nations Environment Program, the Joseph Wood Krutch Medal for service to animals from the United States Humane Society, and the Peace Abbey's Courage of Conscience Award. “Recently Paul’s work as musician and as musical ambassador for the natural world has been honored with the Connecticut Music Educators' Association Music Advocate of the Year Award.”
