Penobscot Bay Singers to Present “The Road Not Taken”

In commemoration of our country’s 250th Anniversary, The Penobscot Bay Singers will present a celebration of American and regional music for their 2026 Spring Concert, “The Road Not Taken.” Especially featured on the program will be “Frostiana,” a collection of poems by Robert Frost, United States Poet Laureate of 1958, set as a large-scale choral work composed by Randall Thompson. Pianist Ruth Gellsinger from Belfast will accompany the Singers for this set of pieces.
The concert will also include uplifting works by Rodgers and Hammerstein, Irving Berlin, Morten Lauridsen, Leonard Bernstein, and a sea shanty arranged by Maine’s own music educator and composer Gladys Pitcher. As has become the custom for Penobscot Bay Singers Spring Concerts, there will be special solo performances as well, including a work for cello performed by Kay Allen from Rockland.
