Student Work at College of the Atlantic

Singer/Songwriter spending final COA year abroad

Singer/Songwriter Cora Rose Lewicki

Cora Rose Lewicki, known to music lovers around Mount Desert Island as Cora Rose, will be performing a farewell concert at the college’s Gates Community Center on Saturday, May 30 at 8 p.m. Lewicki is known for her singing and song writing, and for her MDI performances during her time as a student at COA. While she is not actually graduating this year, Lewicki will be spending her senior year studying international trade in Ghana and Mexico. As in previous concerts, Lewicki will be performing her own songs, with possibly a few covers. She’s been playing piano since kindergarten, writing songs since 3rd grade, and started performing her own work in 8th grade.

“I am very grateful for the support COA and the MDI community has extended my way during my time here,” she says. “Coming to MDI without knowing a soul and building a community around me, face by face, has shown me the value of community! Everyone I’ve met the past three years, COA people and larger MDI community alike, have all been truly wonderful people to get to know. Thank you to all!”

The concert also allows fans to sign up for Lewicki’s second album, “Turn the World,” which contains 13 songs, all original. Lewicki’s first album, made when she was 15, sold out before she arrived at COA. “Turn the World” has been two years in the making. While it won’t be available at the concert, there will be a sign-up sheet, and she will be able to distribute the album mid-June.
