MMModern – March 7, 2025

Tessa Lark hosted a lively evening featuring GardenMusic at the La Grua Center in Stonington.

Given his dynamic popularity last season, Nate Farrington returned to MMModern — this time with the members of Garden Music who have been playing together since they were kids. Each artist has a special skill set and musical perspective that they bring to the group. Tessa Lark made some cameo appearances, joining them on stage to make some fabulous music.

We were treated to Latin music, Stradgrass, opera, original tunes, and orchestral masterpieces arranged for a small ensemble.
