Local musicians have partnered with production designers and graphic artists to form ensembles of strings, voice and oboe for two special evenings of chamber music and poetry at Barking Legs Theater.

Contemporary, Collaborative, Community Musical Arts Projects will present “These Three: Faith, Hope and Love” in performances Thursday and Friday, June 14-15, at 7:30 p.m.

The concert will feature the world premiere of “These Three,” a tone poem written by composer and UTC professor Jonathan McNair honoring the memory of Christian Sinclair Rushing.

Rushing was a popular blogger whose christianrushing.blogspot.com was an anticipated weekly read for his online followers. His close friend, Roy Wroth, sought out McNair and commissioned the work.
