The performance promises to provide a new electric blend of different art forms.
“I’ve been thrilled to find that my poetry takes on a whole new dimension when I read along with music,” McMillan said. “It’s almost like I’m singing.”
At this uplifting concert, titled “Calling for Light,” Hawley, Watts and McMillan will be joined by the four former Lake County Poets Laureate: Jim Lyle (2000-2002), James BlueWolf (2002-2004), Carolyn Wing Greenlee (2004-2006) and Sandra Wade (2006-2008), who will also be reading and talking about their poetry.
About the program, Greenlee said, “Poetry and music ephemeral as light spring wind — time to rest the brain while supporting the voice of the community — what a great way to spend a few hours in the company of good friends!”
Lyle said, “I hope that my poetry will communicate something that I believe (or don’t believe).”
Hawley, a renowned concert pianist, is looking forward to playing the Yamaha grand piano owned by Clear Lake Performing Arts.
“That piano is a beautiful instrument with exceptional tone,” Hawley said.
She will play three etudes by Chopin and some of her original compositions, along with the improvisations with Watts.
Watts, an aficionado of blues and jazz, hosts several popular music programs on KPFZ, 88.1 FM and writes criticism and reviews for music magazines.
“Calling for Light,” a Spring Concert of Poetry and Music, will take place on March 15 at 3 p.m. at the Galilee Lutheran Church, 8860 Soda Bay Road, Kelseyville.
Tickets cost $10 in advance or $15 at the door. Children (18 and under) may attend for free.
Tickets are available at Watershed Books in Lakeport and Wild About Books in Clearlake, or by calling KPFZ at 263-3064. All proceeds benefit KPFZ, 88.1 FM, Lake County’s Community Radio Station.
