SBC Earth Song | Songs To Honor The Three Sisters

Using themes from Salt Bay Chamber’s (SBC) 2025 festival “Earth Song,” chamber musicians will create a “musical installation” on the grounds of the Gardens, pairing music with gardens and emphasizing Indigenous music. 

Alongside the native ferns and plants found around Cleaver Lawn, SBC and Wabanaki musicians invite audiences to experience the connection between music, land, and culture.

The ensemble will perform music featuring Passamaquoddy singer Lauren Stevens singing traditional songs and music by Mohawk composer Dawn Avery, drawing on inspirations from the Earth, the Three Sisters, and native themes. SBC musicians include Aaron Boyd and Jesse Mills on violins, Natalie Loughran on viola, and Wilhelmina Smith on cello.

Guests are welcome to arrive up to an hour before the concert and enjoy the Gardens. For guests coming for the whole day, this concert is included in the price of admission.
