Ben Cosgrove in Concert, Nov. 11 at 7:00
Ben Cosgrove is returning to The School with a new album, Bearings, featuring music about the prairie that he composed during his residencies at Matfield Green (Tallgrass) and Volland.
Ben is a composer and pianist who explores landscapes through highly original instrumental music. He has performed in 49 states and created music for multiple national parks, NASA, and a new Ken Burns documentary, The American Buffalo. Ben was recently featured in the Boston Globe where he is described as a "sonic plein air painter. . . (using) his piano as a paintbrush."
"Tickets" will be by donation at the event, we recommend a minimum of $20 with proceeds going directly to the artist. The building may be a little chilly depending on weather, please dress warmly. We will provide warm drinks (tea, cocoa) and popcorn.
In addition to being "stupidly talented" (Red Line Roots), Ben is a wonderful human being with a palpable love of the land that is transferred through his music. Sample his work at his website and join us on November 11.
