Guillermo Silveira to present Music on Delaware Life Nov. 19

Musical artist, poet, teacher and peace activist Guillermo Silveira will share and discuss his compositions about Delaware life at 1 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 19, at the Lewes Public Library.

His project focuses on all the music related to Delaware life he has composed since his first visit to Rehoboth Beach in 1984. These compositions have been inspired by the area’s wildlife, its landscapes and seascapes, local visual art and poetry, Rehoboth Art League and Biggs Museum exhibits, local festivals and community parades.

All works are ready to be shared with the world online via videos, recordings, pictures and articles on a new website titled Music on Delaware’s Life, set to go live Thursday, Dec. 15.

Many of these works have been presented at the Lewes library and published online during the pandemic. The project is presented under the umbrella of Delaware Division of the Arts.

“Delaware writers, artists, wildlife and sites inspired my music and enhanced my work strongly, so I believe sharing this project will amplify the impact of this vast music collection,” said Silveira.
