Tuesdays @ Monk Space PRESENTS
Signs of Life: Alan Duff Berman with Stacey Fraser and Meagan Martin
Originally formed as a quartet comprising flute, cello, guitar and mallets in the 1980’s, Signs of Life is reimagined and reunited for this October concert.
Organizer Alan Duff Berman (classical and electric guitars, banjo) and Signs of Life are joined by special guests soprano Stacey Fraser and mezzo Meagan Martin to perform works written and arranged specifically for the group.
