Tiny Glass Tavern - an eclectic early, folk, romantic, pop and new music ensemble

Tiny Glass Tavern is a cross-genre music ensemble that offers tastes of different styles of music to curious audiences in an intimate concert setting. Each of our eclectic constellation of musicians brings their different expertise to perform early, folk, romantic, pop, and new music to our audiences. Those styles are programmed side by side and shine in contrast with each other. With Tiny Glass Tavern, this joyful collaboration of artists includes the audience. We invite them to experience the infinite musical repertoire from within by leading singing workshops exploring the specific concert repertoire on the week of the performance, pre-concert sings, and/or audience participation. Our concerts and workshops will be a time to gather for a taste of something musical audiences may or may not know or like yet.

The Hagiography: A Musical Pilgrimage through the Lives of the Saints

Saturday Feb 17th 2024 at 4pm, Christ Church Cambridge, Cambridge MA

Monday Feb 19th 2024, at 7.30pm, NYC, NY Info to be announced

Inscrutable and clarion, violent and tranquil, mad and sane, worldly and hermetic, carnal and chaste, temporal and astral... far from being unrelatable, the arcane but very human lives of the ancient Christian saints are rife in wild legends and fascinating factual past with which to orient ourselves in the constellation of Western history and culture. 
Tiny Glass Tavern, mid-Atlantic area Celtic folk band The Chivalrous Crickets, and New York-based composer, poet, and bassist Doug Balliett join forces to present "The Hagiography: A Musical Pilgrimage through the Lives of the Saints". Begun in the fall of 2020, this project presents a corpus of songs written throughout the pandemic for weekly mass at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Manhattan where Doug Balliett is composer-in-residence, and expanded upon now with additional material by Fiona Gillespie, Adam Simon, and Paul Holmes Morton. 
Richly researched and vividly produced, The Hagiography illuminates the real and mythologized lives of Saints James, George, Margaret, Michael, Nicolas, Patrick, Genevieve, Brigit, Valentine, Sebastian, Joseph the Hymnographer, Cecilia, Joan of Arc, and more through original songs influenced by folk, pop, baroque, and medieval music.

Musicians:
Fiona Gillespie, soprano, whistle
Paul Holmes Morton, theorbo, banjo, baroque guitar, guitar
Sophie Michaux, mezzo-soprano
Adam Simon, mandolin, guitar, voice
Doug Balliett, bass
