GCE x sibyl: voice + violin duos on Governors Island

​Join us at our cozy performance salon on Governors Island for a double bill of voice & violin duos: Glass Clouds Ensemble (Marisa Karchin + Raina Arnett) and sibyl (Chloe + Lily Holgate).

​Stay after the concert for light refreshments and to explore the exhibits on display at the Glass Clouds Ensemble House!

​About the artists:

​Marisa & Raina run the Glass Clouds Ensemble and present adventurous music that explores the full range of sounds of the voice + violin. Today's concert features music by Gyorgy Kurtag, Helena Winkelman, Aida Shirazi, and Niyayesh Bagheri.

​Sibyl, called “...beautiful and haunting and complex” by NPR, blends classical and folk influences. Their sound is full spectrum female folk: two voices creating a complete sonic universe, both comforting and startling – a sound bath with flashes of teeth.

​Location: The Glass Clouds Ensemble House (Building 14, Nolan Park) is a beautiful community arts space with a cozy living room salon & porch seating, surrounded by lots of green space. Air conditioning and cold drinks provided :)

​Glass Clouds Ensemble is an Organization in Residence with Governors Island Arts and is hosting free music programming all summer long on the island.

​Governors Island is a 10-min ferry from Manhattan and Brooklyn – ferry schedule & more info. It's a great place to spend a weekend day, rain or shine, with lots of art exhibits, bike paths, and food trucks!
