Three accomplished local student musicians will perform at the Sheepscot Valley Conservation Association's Champagne on the Sheepscot event September 15 on Westport Island.  They are keyboardist Mitch Boucher, who will be a senior at Lincoln Academy, keyboardist Richard Kinney, a home schooled 7th grader, and singer Cayleigh Hearth, a 9th grader at Lincoln Academy.

Both keyboardists study with Sean Fleming of Damariscotta. Hearth studies voice with Lincoln Academy teacher Beth Preston.

The student musicians will perform in different settings at the historic Squam Creek Farm of Ted and Louana Frois.  Boucher will play Bach compositions and his own works, Kinney will play jazz and classical works and also accompany Hearth as she sings a selection of Broadway and movie soundtrack pieces.

The house and property offer views of a Back River cove and Harper Island.  The surrounding lawns and gardens, filled with native plants and perennials, include a newly constructed sunken garden.  Guests can wander freely through the house and lawns, and will be able to choose from a generous offering of hors d'oeuvres and drinks.

The fun-filled party, the 4th annual Champagne on the Sheepscot event, takes place from 5 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, September 15.  Tickets are $40 per person, or $125 to become a patron.

The event also includes a people's choice photography contest, open to all who want to share their favorite images taken in the Sheepscot watershed.  Photos will be displayed at the event, and guests will vote for their favorite.  The three top winners will each get a cash prize.  For details on the photo contest, visit the SVCA website at www.sheepscot.org.

So mark your calendars and call SVCA at 586-5616 for reservations or for more information about any aspect of the event.
