The Diminished Prophets will present Frost poems spoken in English and Spanish, accompanied by Spanish guitar. The Essex Chamber Music Players will perform three pieces inspired by Frost’s poems on seasons, interpretations of human longing, and the joys and vulnerabilities of life.

Admission is free and open to the public.

Under Artistic Director (and retired NECC professor) Michael G. Finegold, the ECMP has been presenting popular concerts at Northern Essex Community College and throughout the region since its founding
