Hot Jazz for a Winter Night! Tom Palance & Friends Saturday Annisquam Village Church #GloucesterMA

Posted on by Catherine

This weekend! Jane Deering shares a reminder from the music committee at Annisquam church:

Hot Jazz for a Winter Night

Tom Palance & Friends will perform Saturday, February 7, 2026 @ 7:00pm at the Annisquam Village Church, Gloucester MA. This popular quintet is led by veteran trumpeter Tom Palance, who has performed for five US Presidents and shared the stage with Clark Terry, Arturo Sandoval, Doc Severinsen and other celebrated artists.  He will be joined by two-time Grammy Nominee Mark Earley on saxophone, percussionist Jim Latinni, the piano wizardry of Jeff Dโ€™Antona, and Dave Landoni on bass.

These seasoned performers play regularly North of Boston and never disappoint. Their repertoire includes both classic and contemporary jazz standards, blues, and popular songs โ€” all with the quintetโ€™s unique twist. This will be their second appearance at the acoustically superb AVC.  

Donโ€™t miss this special musical evening!

Cape Ann Symphony dedicates upcoming Moods of the Sea concert to F/V Lily Jean crew and those left bereft

Posted on by Catherine

Sunday Feb 8th, 2026. 3pm

Our hearts are with the families and the entire Gloucester community as we mourn the loss of the Lily Jean. The Cape Ann Symphony stands in shared grief with our neighbors during this incredibly difficult time. To honor those we have lost and the enduring spirit of all whose livelihoods are tied to the ocean, we will begin Sunday’s concert — a program already scheduled and inspired by everyone who carries on our community’s timeless connection to the sea– with a moment of silence.

We dedicate the afternoonโ€™s music, poetry, and song to the families of the Lily Jean 

Cape Ann Symphony

From Heidi Dallin, Cape Ann Symphony Publicist:

“You can expect an eclectic afternoon of music,โ€ says Barbara Cox, Director of Marketing on the CAS Board, โ€from beautiful vocals to soaring strings to joyful folk dances! We are excited to spotlight not only our CAS String players but also CAS Chorus member and Gloucester resident baritone John Fortado; veteran Boston Mezzo Soprano Alexandra Dietrich and cellist Taylor Stobinski all of whom make their Musicians Unleashed debut in Moods of the Sea.โ€œ

The Cape Ann Symphony’s Musicians Unleashed Concerts are intimate chamber concerts performed by members of the Cape Ann Symphony and guest artists. They have become a popular series with an enthusiastic audience. This concert will combine music, literature and poetry performed by five string players, 2 vocalists and a poetry reader.

The program includes English poet John Masefieldโ€™s Sea Fever about longing for the freedom of life on the open sea set to music by John Ireland; Salina Fisherโ€™s Mata Au; Edward Elgarโ€™s Sea Pictures, Op. 37; Gustav Holstโ€™s St. Paulโ€™s Suite, Op. 29; and Anton Dvoล™akโ€™s String Quintet No. 2 in G Major, Op. 77, 2nd Movement, written for the unusual combination of string quartet plus double bass and in the lively joyful style of folk dance.

๏ปฟThe music captures the stylistic choices of these works, with undercurrents and rippling chords.

๏ปฟThe musicians in the quintet are Cape Ann Symphony Principal Bass Richey Tally, CAS Violinists Margaret Cerjan and Oliver Klein, CAS Violist Brandon White and Cellist Taylor Stobinski.

Vocalists performing in Moods of the Sea will be CAS Chorus member John Fortado and mezzo soprano Alexandra Dietrich.

Masconomo Park Under Snow

Posted on by Pat D

We stopped by Masconomo Park on Beach St in Manchester to check out the snowfall effects. The blanket of snow doesn’t hide the beauty and peace of the park, even if it did cover up the seating options.
