Newport — The Newport String Project is excited to share the third virtual concert in our new series Hidden Newport, showcasing some of Newport's most beautiful and unusual locations through virtual chamber music concerts. This performance, premiering on Feb. 28 at 2 pm on YouTube, features the Newport Congregational Church, the only surviving comprehensive architectural interior by the renowned American artist John La Farge, who was inspired by geometric patterns of Byzantine, Moorish and Persian tiles in his designs. The program will include works by Henry Purcell, Alan Hovhaness, Komitas, and an arrangement of the Unst Boat Song from the Shetland Islands.
