(Rockport, ME) On Thursday, July 8, from 4:00 to 8:00 pm. Carver Hill Gallery in Rockport is pleased to announce the opening of “Rhapsody in Hue”, a show dedicated to and inspired by music. All of the work will have the common theme of “the audible art” of music. Fifteen artists from Maine to Prague will be exhibiting and the show will run through August 2nd.

The show will open with the accomplished fiddler Lissa Schneckenburger and her guitarist, Bethany Waickman, from 4:00 to 6:00 pm (visit Lissa's website). Fiddler and singer Lissa Schneckenburger has been described as a master of moods; a winsome, sweet-voiced singer who brings new life to old ballads and a skillful, dynamic fiddler who captures the driving rhythm and carefree joy of dance tunes old and new. Lissa has toured internationally, and is known to perform with some of New England's favorite musicians.

The show will wrap up from 6:00 to 8:00 pm with singer, songwriter, pianist Gintare' Jautakaite on Yarkitecture Design's Yamaha F11 piano.

In the early 90's, while residing in Oxford (U.K.), Gintare drew attention of famous producer Gus Dudgeon (who produced Elton John for many years, David Bowie and the Beach Boys), and began a collaboration to produce her songs “Butterflies”, “Trancenavigation”, “Hysteria” and others for her first album. She recorded and co-produced her own music with many distinctive artists and producers such as Gaeton Schurrer (Madonna), Adam Wakeman (Annie Lennox, Travis), Andrew Claxton (Dead Can Dance), Neil MacLallan (Prodigy) and many others. Her voice was described by Gus Dudgeon as “having all the quality of a diamond – it is timeless while being undeniably contemporary, polished by the surreal dream like beauty of her vocal performances, enhanced by in depth intelligence of her luminous poetry.” Gintare is working on another album due to be released in late summer.

Carver Hill Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. For more information, please visit www.carverhillgallery.com.
