The Grief Suite

Beginning in April 2024 (with the support of the MN State Arts Board), I undertook a project to create new improvised compositions for small ensembles (solo, duo and trio).

Over the past 15 months, I explored text and graphic scores, live looping, worked with adding improvised accompaniments to “set” melodies, and more. These pieces have once again revolved around the theme of grief and grieving in what I consider my fifth season of grief songwork.

The Concert

We will gather Tuesday, July 15th from 7-8:30pm for a concert premiering my new suite of solo, duo and trio improvised works.

Anthony Cox on bass and Nathan Greer (he’s a relation ) on drums will join me.

We will play in the resonant upstairs sanctuary space at Zion Community Commons, 1697 Lafond Ave, St Paul. Please note: Seating is wooden pews and this second story space is not wheelchair accessible.

Tickets are pay what you can with a suggested price of $20, because I really want as many people as possible to hear this music and since I learn something new about the pieces every time we play them.

You can buy tickets in advance below (be sure to let me know how many tickets and who all is coming😉) or at the door on the day of the concert with venmo, PayPal, cash or check payable to Sarah M. Greer.

Hope to see you there!
