FARMINGTON – The Nordica Day Concert will be Sunday, Aug. 17, and will feature Sarah Griffith, winner of the annual Nordica Memorial Scholarship.

She has performed with the Portland Symphony as soprano soloist in Beethoven’s “Ninth Symphony” and with the Studio Theater of Bath as the mother in “Amahl and the Night Visitors.” A resident of Portland, she is active as a music director, cantor and private voice teacher. Griffith is studying with Margaret Yauger of Cape Elizabeth. She will be accompanied by Judith Quimby, who has played for many previous Nordica Scholarship winners.

The program will begin with Richard Wagner’s “Dich, theure Halle” from “Tannhauser.” She’ll be singing in the historic room where opera diva Lillian Nordica last sang in her hometown on Aug. 17, 1911.

The concert also will include songs by Debussy, Amy Beach, Schumann, Puccini and Samuel Barber. It will begin at 7:30 p.m. as the final event of Nordica Day. It will be preceded by an open house during the day at the Nordica Homestead Museum on the Holley Road. Extensive renovations have been recently completed on the homestead, and Nordica memorabilia are displayed, thanks to the hard work of the new caretakers, Bonnie and Quentin Strom.

This concert is a gift to the community from the Nordica Memorial Association although donations will be gratefully accepted. There will be a reception and refreshments following the concert. For more information, people can call 778-2042.
