Join the Frazier History Museum for a live show like you’ve never seen before. This year, eight Poe tales will be presented, including The Conqueror Worm, Alone, The Raven, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, Ulalume, The Cask of Amontillado, The Bells, and Loss of Breath.

Live musical accompaniment for “An Evening with Poe” is provided by The Tamerlane Trio, an ensemble of local musicians formed specifically for “An Evening with Poe.” The scores pull largely from music played in the Appalachia region during Poe’s time. Having grown up in Richmond, Va., Poe certainly would have heard the music of slaves, the strings of a banjo, as well as the popular parlor music of the day. The Tamerlane Trio plays folk songs carried from the British Isles, music composed by personal acquaintances of Poe and some of the day’s most popular songs – many of which are now largely forgotten.

Crafting an unusual repertoire of 19th century music specifically for “An Evening with Poe,” the trio has has written an original score for some of the evening’s onstage action.
