PLAGUE AND THE MOONFLOWER coming to the U.S.Common Ground is pleased and honored to be working with Moonflower Productions International to help bring "Plague and the Moonflower" to New York City in April 2009. This widely acclaimed oratorio captures both the despair and the inspiration thrust upon Earth's inhabitants by the prospect of a dying planet. In this seminal work, prolific English composer, conductor and virtuoso instrumentalist Richard Harvey interweaves narration, solo vocal and guitar performances, and choruses of children and adults - as many as 100 voices - to convey the spirit of Ralph Steadman's powerful libretto. To learn more about this environmental conscious-raising performance and how you can purchase limited edition prints of Ralph Steadman artwork to support the project...

A facilitator will be present to help participants feel comfortable and learn basic drumming techniques. Bring your own drum or feel welcome to use one of ours. No need to register – Just show up! Community Drum Circle is on the third Wednesday of each month from 6:30pm – 8:30pm. |
