Santa Barbara Revels Equinox Concert

As the seasons change from Summer to Fall, Santa Barbara Revels notes this transition with its  annual EQUINOX CONCERT on Sunday, September 24th at 2:30 pm at Elings Park’s Godric Grove, in the heart of Santa Barbara.

For our Equinox Concert, Mica Basilici, the new Revels Music Director, brings together a diverse ensemble of special musical and vocal artists, including Luis Moreno and Miguelita León on guitar, Anna Mooy on violin, and Rebekah Scogin on harp, concertina, and accordion. Selections include “Galway Bay,” “The Rising of the Moon,” a Ladino song entitled “Kuando el Rey Nimrod,” and “Pájaro cu.” Mica also will provide some opportunities for everyone to sing along with the ensemble, with traditional favorites “Wild Mountain Thyme” and “Loch Lomond.” Anna Jensen, well-known local dramaturg, will make an informative presentation about the background and origins of the musical traditions prior to the concert, and there will be a reception with delicious wine and hors d’oeuvres for an opportunity to meet and talk with the artists.

Free parking is available in the upper lot at Elings Park, and Godric Grove is fully accessible. Tickets for the reception, discussion and concert are $35 in advance and $40 at the concert. They are    available at: sbrevels2023.simpletix.com as well as at the door. Find more information at facebook.com/SantaBarbaraRevels or on our website: santabarbararevels.org. As revelers like to say: Join us and be joyous!
