DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Concetta A.\nMusicians: Concetta Abbate\, Charlie Rau
 h\, Thomas Giles\, Charlotte Munn-Wood\, and Jae Han\n\nSounds of Summer S
 olstice is a music program featuring three distinct NEW MUSIC ensembles co

 oser\, New York Foundation For The Arts\, and The Fractured Atlas Group. R
 auh’s approach to solo guitar composition takes inspiration from folk lu
 llabies\, plainchant\, and the imagery of various poets ranging from the B
 rontës to Anna Akhmatova. Acoustic Guitar Magazine notes that “Charlie 
 Rauh plays guitar with a quiet intensity\, each note and chord ringing wit
 h purpose...With these lullabies Rauh gives a gentle reminder that playing
  soft and slow can be more impactful than loud and fast."\n\n2) The Telos
