On Saturday, October 9th the Burnurwurbskek Singers will be performing at the Museum & Theatre on the Gather Lawn. This musical performance is the first performance of our Gather ‘Round Concert series, highlighting diverse musicians from Maine. The general public is encouraged to come enjoy the music, free of charge, but please note that parking is metered. The outdoor performance will be Covid-safe and socially distanced. In the event that social distancing is not possible, please wear a mask.

Comprised of men representing many of Maine’s Wabanaki people, the Burnurwurbskek Singers perform traditional northeast woodland songs as well as more contemporary, intertribal songs, passed down in their rich oral tradition from generation to generation.

The Burnurwurbskek Singers will play two sets, one during the Saturday morning play session at 11:30 am and the other just prior to the Saturday afternoon play session at 12:30 pm. Visitors attending a play session are welcome to attend the live performance and will have plenty of time to explore the Museum & Theatre before or after the performance.

This event is generously made possible by the Onion Foundation.
