KINGFIELD — The Bangor Symphony Orchestra, award-winning vocalist Suzanne Nance and a variety of Maine traditional and contemporary musicians will come together for the Kingfield POPS, a celebration of the outdoors and Maine’s musical heritage.

On Saturday, June 26, the BSO and Nance, well known to Mainers as producer and host of the weekday morning Maine Public Broadcasting Network classical music program, will perform a program of pops, patriotic and light classical tunes.

Concert gates will open at 4:30 p.m. at Kennedy Farm on Route 142.

Earlier in the day, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., artists and artisans will display and sell their creations at the POPS Festival of the Arts in the village. Among their works are woven baskets, wooden bowls, photography, blown glass, sterling silver jewelry, pottery, metal work, stained glass, handmade toys, candles, quilts and homemade fudge. Local musicians will play throughout the day. The Festival of the Arts is free.

Nance and the BSO will perform several Broadway tunes, including “Summertime” from “Porgy and Bess” and selections from “West Side Story” and “My Fair Lady.”

Joining the BSO, which has performed at the Kingfield POPS for five of eight years, for several numbers will be Gene Nichols, whose humor and virtuosity on the musical saw will intrigue audiences.

Opening the show will be well-known Maine fiddler Greg Boardman and his sons, Aidan, Ethan and Isaac, and Belgrade’s Gawler Family (John and Ellen, and daughters Edith, Molly and Elsie). Well known to fans of Maine’s traditional and contemporary acoustic music, they marry old and new musical conventions to create rich, textured harmonies with vocals, fiddles, guitars, cellos, banjo, bass, ukulele, keyboard and percussion.

The Gawlers have strummed, sung and fiddled their joyful music in communities throughout Maine and around the world. Molly Gawler, a dancer with the international dance troupe Pilobolus — currently selling out concerts all over the world — will perform an original dance.

Also on the opening slate are the Pineland Fiddlers, a touring ensemble of young fiddlers, ages 6 to 16, who perform widely in Maine and have toured in Quebec City, Cape Breton, Turkmenistan and Ireland. Their lively repertoire draws on Maine’s Celtic, Quebecois and Down East traditions. The Western Mountain Trash Can Band’s steel drum ensemble will welcome guests to the site and set the tone for a festive evening.

An expected concert highlight will be an arrangement of Irish tunes created by Boardman for the Gawler Family, Boardman Family and Pineland Fiddlers to perform with the BSO. Along the same vein, dancer and composer Damon Honeycutt will contribute an orchestral arrangement for a tune composed by American composer Leadbelly, also to be played by opening performers and the BSO.

“This is a unique and original collaboration,” said BSO Executive Director David Whitehill. “The BSO is pleased to be able to foster and welcome this kind of collaboration among artists and musicians from varying musical traditions. It’s an innovative and exciting step to be taking and we are looking forward to it with great anticipation.”

The evening will conclude with fireworks.

“The POPS is one of the most uplifting events I’ve ever been to,” said Bobby Brown, one of the event founders and concert emcee for all of its eight years. “The setting is stunning. The program and performers are always excellent. People dance, they sing along, they cheer proudly when the BSO plays its patriotic salute. The combination of music, moonlight and mountains truly is magical.”
