Sea Smoke on Gitchigami by Jenni Brandon performed in concert by Out of Our Minds Chamber Music with Jennifer Campbell soprano, Jefferson Campbell bassoon, and Mary Ellen Haupert piano. The performance is on Saturday, April 5, 2025, the in Nola Starling Recital Hall, Viterbo University, 900 Viterbo Drive • La Crosse, WI 54601.
Sea Smoke on Gichigami for soprano, bassoon, and piano tells the story of the elusive mythical creatures that arise out of Lake Superior (Gichigami) as the sea smoke covers the lake. Sea Smoke is a phenomenon when water vapor forms when cold air moves above warmer water. As the water vapor rises, the cold air only holds so much moisture, forcing the water to become fog. As it rises from the lake’s surface, it creates the heavy “sea smoke” that blankets the area.
