Greet The Schooners Friday Aboard The Lannon
Gloucester Fireworks Shares-
So, we are less than a week away from our Labor Day weekend fireworks display and Concert on the Boulevard. This year we will be adding a tribute to Chris Dailey. The display starts with an “Opener”, which we will pause in the middle of the opener, then do the tribute to Chris, then finish the opener and continue with the display.
The tribute will be as follows: 6 flights of 3 shells, alternating red and white for the GHS colors, and the 6 flights honoring Chris, 1 for family, 2 for friends, 3 for education/scholarship, 4 for sports, 5 for surfing on the blue ocean, and 6 for everyone’s best friend. The 18 shells represent Chris’s number on the hockey team. At the end of the 18, there will be a large blue shell to drape down over the rest, representing Chris’s favorite color.
Please share the info about the tribute with everyone so it can be meaningful to the Dailey family.

obster Cove String Quartet concert ‘In Search of Lost Time’
Sunday September 7thย @ 7:00pm
Annisquam VIllage Church
820 Washington Street . Gloucester MA
The Lobster Cove String Quartet embarks on its third season with a performance at the Annisquam Village Church, Sunday, September 7 at 7:00pm. The programโs title, In Search of Lost Time, is a nod to the novel of the same name by Marcel Proust, and the ways memory, art, history, and inner life intertwine in the human experience. The quartet is joined by guest clarinetist Bill Kirkley, whose playing the Boston Globe calls โemotional, committed, and intensely exciting.โ The Brahms Clarinet Quintet anchors the program, alongside works from living composers Caroline Shaw and Kenji Bunch,as well as miniatures by Schumann and Gershwin.
Scott Moore, LCSQ violinist and Artist-in-Residence at the Village Church, writes: โWe are all shaped profoundly by the past: the stories and relics we carry with us, and which we continue to discover as we move ever on into the present moment. We might look back with nostalgia, or else seek to learn from earlier lessons. We study the works of past masters, looking to them for inspiration as we try to make some kind of sense of our own experiences, searching for meaning or connection. We are moved by a work of art, and realize the artist was also a person on their own similar search. Brahms came out of compositional retirement to create the Clarinet Quintet: a piece only a master could write, whose autumnal tone and retrospective feeling are unmistakable. The music is quintessentially Romantic, quintessentially Brahms; yet if we listen carefully, we hear in Brahms the in๏ฌuence of Bach, Haydn, Beethoven, at every turn. This piece was loosely modeled after Mozartโs Clarinet Quintet, written a century before. Caroline Shawโs Entrโacte is a sort of riff on the classical minuet and trio; inspired partly by Haydn, it nonetheless sounds completely fresh and newโcontemporary in the most attractive, vital, and approachable way. Kenji Bunch has referred to his String Quartet No. 3, subtitled Apocryphal Dances, as a โlove letter to the 18th and 19th centuriesโ. Yet while the forms take inspiration from the old, the harmonic and melodic language is playfully postmodern. Meanwhile,Gershwinโs โPromenadeโ and Schumannโs โAbendliedโ (written for his children) are charming vignettes from times gone byโlittle glimpses into the past, which stir our souls across the years.โ

Winhover End of August Feast of Dance and Music Performances
| This week celebrates the conclusion of August performances at Windhover with a feast of great dance and music. On Thursday August 28 and Friday, August 29th at 7:00pm, former principal dancer from the renowned Paul Taylor Dance Company, Annmaria Mazzini, performs in a show she curated with dancers and musicians working in a collaborative manner. This innovative performance is titled: โThe Sound of Memory,โ exploring music with sound bowls, Saigon water bells, Moroccan Crescent Drum, Caxixi Brazilian Shakers, Octo Cahon Drum, Indian Kinjira Drum, healing practices, vocals, oral history and varied choreography by Annmaria and others. |
The Sound of Memory  Jennifer Mabus (dancer) and Brittany Breitman Nearing (sound bowls) rehearsing at Windhover |
| This evening presents a choreographic and musical meditation about the passage of time, caregiving, loss, fragility, and moving through life with a sense of awe and wonder. Renowned for its capacity to provoke thought and generate healing, “The Sound of Memory” explores questions of where in the body memory resides, what haunts us, and what sustains us. Tickets are available on the Windhover website or by using the buttons below. Distinguished bios of the artists can be found on the Windhover website: www.windhover.org |
| Then on Saturday, August 30, please join us in a musical bash when two talented music groups collaborate for an evening under the tent. Opening the evening at 6:30pm will be guitarist Brendan Evans and the Night Owls which brings together the music talents of guitarist Brendan Evans, vocalist Ben Blanchard and Daniel Palmer, a songwriter turned mystery/suspense novelist. The group performs mostly original material blending classical guitar with three-part harmonies to create a unique sound for their indie-folk infused songs. Then at 7:30pm, the Clements Brothers & Good Company perform. This is an exciting chance to see the local and beloved (and identical twins) Charles and George Clements with their full national touring band who will perform together under the tent. The Clements Brothers, who live here on Cape Ann, have been playing and writing music together for as long as they can remember. With roots in rock, bluegrass, jazz, and classical influences, George (on guitar) and Charles (on bass) aim to capture their singer-songwriter sensibilities in a unique blended voice, at once enthralling and intimate, groovy and serene. Tickets must be purchased in advance with this link. |
| And a sneak peek at September brings a group of local Cape Ann dancers and musicians together for a special one night only performance under the tent titledย Locomotorsย onย Friday, September 5 at 8:00pm.ย Locomotors is a collaborative music and dance group rooted in the practice of Dalcroze Eurhythmics and open-form improvisation, with a special focus on the somatic relationship between sound and movement. The core members are pianist and composer Michael Joviala, and dancer and choreographer Dawn Pratson. This performance also brings in guest artists Sarah Slifer Swift, dancer and director of Movement Arts in Gloucester ( MAGMA), plus with the work of visual artist Derick Melander, whose large-scale sculptures made from secondhand clothing, confront the intersection between global consumerism and our intimate relationship with what we wear.ย Tickets can be found here.The mission of Windhover this season continues to be: Collaborationโฆ Connectionโฆ Communityโฆ and Creativity,ย which are our themes and directives. All of these upcoming performances are rare chances for you, the audience, to engage in these art forms and enjoy the collaborative beauty of these creative artists.Please come enjoy and support these artists in dance and music.
