Primal Mates: poetry and music, music and poetry at the Ukiah Library

Mendocino County Library is proud to present Primal Mates, a contemporary chamber jazz duo, who will be performing “Poetry in Music, Music in Poetry” at several of the Library branches.  Performances are scheduled as follows:

Willits Library on Thursday, October 16 at 7:00 PM

Round Valley Library on Friday, October 17 at 7:00 PM

Ukiah Library on Saturday, October 18 at 4:00 PM

Over the years, as part of their regular concert programs, the duo of Chris Lee and Colleen O'Brien have included poems that have been set to music, music that has been set to poems, and music by some well-known writers who were also accomplished composers. This concert will be devoted entirely to this genre. They will also talk about each piece and about the process of setting poetry to music.

Some of the poets included in their repertoire are Li Po, William Shakespeare, Robert Creely, Gary Snyder and e.e. cummings.

These performances are free to the public. Seating is limited.
