The next beach performance at the Hermitage
Artist Retreat will be held on Friday, Feb. 28,
starting at 4:30 p.m. with an open house of the
historic Hermitage House and campus tours,
the retreat has announced.
Afterward, Songs at Sunset will start on the
beach at 5:30 p.m. with visiting composer
Anna Clyne, "who will share a recording of
music she wrote at the Hermitage and give an
insider's view into the mind of a contemporary
composer," a news release says. Following
Clyne's performance will be Sarasota's own
Annie Morrison, a Broadway star who will
present songs and stories from her current
life and work as a writer of solo plays, the
release adds.
Sunset about 6:30 p.m. will be followed
by Art After Dark, featuring video art by
Ringling College of Art and Design professor
and Hermitage fellow Michael Wyshock, the
release notes. He will project the art he made
during his Hermitage residency. "These video
streams of consciousness drawings represent
the world he sees in a creative, meditative
state," the release adds.
This program will be free, but visitors are
requested to bring their own beach chairs and
refreshments, the release points out.
