A multi-sensory stasis zone combining minimalist sound, flowers & herbs. An environment for audiences to exist within for minutes or hours.

Sound Meadow is a soothing balm in a burning world. It's an aura that the public can enter and sit or lay, or stand for minutes or hours.

Musicians Bee Daniel, Mindy Stock (Virusse), Christy Armstrong (@the.sluagh), Void (@voidmusic_), Hana Zoe (Rooted), and Iris M (Greef) will share 30-minute pieces of minimal music written with the concept of *healing* in mind. Each musician will play their set twice over the five hour period.

In addition to reverberating music, plant installations will beautify the Ballroom. There is space for reclined listening [floor cushions, pillows, and mats] and soothing herbal tea provided.

The public is invited to come and spend time quietly in the installation for as long as they would like.

Presented by Mechanics' Hall and Iris M, with support from the SPACE Sonic Visions Fund and the Onion Foundation.

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is encouraged, but not required.

Join us for warmth and life, and light.

Backed by a driving rock quintet and a lush string quartet, Joe Boucher re-imagines Billy Joel’s greatest hits in concert, this time at the Sanford Performing Arts Center at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28.

"Sing Us A Song" is a spectacular tribute to Billy Joel by Maine’s own Joe Boucher, the powerhouse vocalist, pianist, and creator behind some of New England’s most celebrated rock-meets-orchestra shows. Boucher has built a devoted following with smash hits like Classic Rock, Piano Men, and The Beatles Solo Years – all of which have been featured at Sanford Performing Arts Center in previous seasons! His thrilling arrangements blend the punch of a rock show with the elegance of orchestral strings. From the sing-along joy of “Piano Man” to the sweeping drama of “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant,” this is Billy Joel like you’ve never heard him before — big sound, big emotion, and one unforgettable night of music.

Digging deep into the roots of Americana, the World Famous Grassholes and Dave Hunter and the Seven Hundred come together at the Hill Arts for a special Saturday night of down-home bluegrass backed with alt-country stylings, taking you from the earliest days of the Flatt & Scruggs and Bill Monroe's acoustic picking to the heady, twangy sounds dominating the radio nowadays.

The Grassholes kick things off with their white-hot brand of high and lonesome, building on the success of WCLZ radio favorites like "I Do" and "Maybe," and then Dave Hunter and the Seven Hundred will come charging in with the searing guitar and nostalgic vocals that made Dave's former outfit, the Molenes, a favorite up and down the Seacoast, including albums like "Songs of Sin and Redemption" and "This Car Is Big." This is a rare opportunity to have a hell of a good time!

Carole Wise and Scott Edwards (Smoking Bear) have collaborated to bring you an enchanting evening of Native American music and stories.

Carole Wise is a Maine-based singer-songwriter and recording artist. She is the consummate performer. Her guitar and mandolin playing are both intricate and straight-forward and her lyrics are nuanced, lyrical and both personal and universal. We the listeners are not likely to have songs written about or for us, yet, in listening to Carole’s songs - we come close. Every song offers us a chance to connect to something: a feeling, a thought, a fear, a hope. She evokes something familiar - something we have felt, thought or worried about - as though she knew us.

For nearly 30 years, Scott Edwards has lived a life harmonized by the Native American flute—an instrument he says didn’t just enter his life, but "found" him. What began as a discovery has grown into a deep, spiritual partnership. Across Pennsylvania and now his home state of Maine, Scott shares the resonant history and cultural weight of the flute with schools, libraries, and community audiences. He performs with a curated collection of 35 handcrafted flutes, each possessing its own unique craftsmanship and story. In 2025, Scott released his debut album, "Smoking Bear: Spirit Harmonies", bringing his soulful compositions to a global audience via all major streaming platforms, and on compact disc.
