The Wylinn’s Wish/Juvenile Diabetes Foundation fundraiser at Jalapenos Restaurant is on Wednesday, September 29 between 4:30-9pm. Please join us for an evening of music, food and a 50/50 raffle in order to raise money for Diabetes research. 10% of all dinner receipts for that night have been generously donated by Jalapenos to the Wylinn’s Wish Walk-for-the-Cure Team (the team that will walk to save lives, sponsored by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the JDRF.

All you have to do is eat yummy burritos to help save lives!
Local musician Ann Marie Shimanoski (The Bandit Kings, SAFETY) has a niece. Her name is Wylinn Rose. Wylinn was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes at 4 years old and has been living with the disease for two years. Recently, she was equipped with an insulin pump that is set to automatically disperse insulin as she needs it. The pump is surgically inserted and is stuck in her at all times.
Wylinn’s grandmother, Theresa Palmisano, Ann Marie, and the rest of her family has decided that although this is a temporary solution, it is not a cure and that merely surviving is no way for a child (or anyone) to live. The family has deep roots in Gloucester and the North Shore area and Wylinn’s parents own Goodies Ice Cream Shop in Danvers, MA. Palmisano has been organizing fundraisers for the past two years and has raised well over $12,000 for the JDRF. She sells printed bags and necklaces with all proceeds to support her cause. She works tirelessly at gathering sponsors, setting up booths at local fairs, and organizing teams for the JDRF Walk-a-Thons. Early this year she was highlighted in the JDRF national newsletter for her hard work and determination.
Palmisano was born and raised in Gloucester. She has been involved in the community and church for most of her life and hopes now that the Cape Ann community will rally behind her niece and her tremendous efforts for the JDRF. She says, “I truly believe that with our help, research will find a cure. Millions of children and adults are currently in different stages of Diabetes. Unfortunately, some outcomes for others will not only be devastating but also life threatening. I cannot sit back and watch this to happen to Wylinn. Funding is the only way to fuel research and I believe, that with your help, we can make a difference. When you support Wylinn’s Wish for a Cure (for JDRF) eighty-five percent of every dollar raised goes directly to education and research. As a ‘determined grandmother,’ there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t try to convey awareness of the seriousness of Type1Diabetes, and why we need to support funding for research and education for the cure. This is my mission.”
go to Wylinn’s Wish; with great food, live music, and 50/50 raffle (4 -9pm • 86 Main Street). Saturday, October 2: JDRF Boston Walk for the Cure.
Please support the Wylinns Wish for a Cure Walk Team October 2 (checks payable to JDRF). Saturday & Sunday, October 9 & 10: Topsfield Fair (Christmas Tree Corner); we’ll be selling Wylinn’s Wish
tote bags, stars, and educational literature about JDRF and Type 1 Diabetes. December 2010 (exact dates TBA): Gift wrapping for donations at the North Shore Shopping Mall.
SAVE THE DATE March 12, 2011: Look for more info on “THE WISH BALL” at the Danversport Yacht Club. Sponsored by the Friends of Wylinn’s Wish for a cure

Conductor Udagawa will take questions from the audience following the rehearsal. Admission to the Open Rehearsal is free. Cape Ann Symphony Board President Tom Class explains the Open Rehearsal, “The open rehearsal is an opportunity for Cape Ann Symphony Orchestra fans to get a behind the scenes look at the process the orchestra and conductor go through in preparation for a performance. For those new to classical music, it’s a great chance to come see, hear, and experience in a non concert setting how an incredible group of musicians from one of the finest regional orchestras in the country works together to create great classical music.” Conductor Udagawa adds, “This is a terrific chance to take our audience behind the scenes and show what it takes to prepare or a CAS concert. I am intrigued to find out what kinds of questions they willhave following the rehearsal.”
Cape Ann Symphony welcomes 12 year old piano prodigy Kadar Qian as the guest artist for the Magical Classics Concert. Conductor Udagawa first heard Qian play when the rising young star competed in and won the Quincy Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition. Udagawa who is also the Music Director and Conductorof the Quincy Symphony recalls Qian’s performance, “He was spelling binding! Absolutely one of the most remarkable young talents I’ve ever come across.” At age 11, Qian was the youngest winner of the Quincy Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition and was the featured soloist at the QSO annual Young Artist Performs concert, performing the complete Chopin Piano Concerto No. 2 in April, 2009. He played the complete concerto again with the Salem Philharmonic in January, 2010.
A Westford resident, Kadar Qian is this year’s winner of the Boston Civic Symphony James R. Powers Youth Concerto Competition and will be performing the 1st Movement of Prokofiev’s 3rd Piano Concerto with the BCS on October 17th. In addition, he was the first prize winner of the Metrowest Symphony Young Artists Competition, playing the same Prokofiev with them in March, 2010. Qian took first prizes in his age division in the 1st Chopin International piano competition in Hartford, CT in 2010 and the 2009 Steinway Society of Massachusetts piano competition. He also won 2nd Prizes in the 2010 New England Philharmonic and 2009 Nashoba Youth Orchestra concerto competitions, in addition to the Invitational Performance Award of the Lowell Philharmonic Orchestra Young Artist Competition, with whom he will perform the Chopin 2nd Concerto on March 11, 2011. From October 8-11 he will be competing in the Rosalyn Tureck International Bach Competition in New York City.

He also pursues independent study in music analysis and conducting with Yoichi Udagawa. Kadar has given 58 performances in MA, CT and New York City. His first solo recital was in February of 2008.

Mr. Udagawa is at home in popular and contemporary music as well as the standard symphonic repertoire. He is known for his relaxed manner and ability to speak from the podium which have helped new audiences as well as enthusiasts gain a greater appreciation for symphonic music. His programs for the 2010-11 season include Brahms’ Double Concerto, Copland’s Old American Songs, Dvorak’s Symphony No. 8, Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony, Schumann’s Symphony No. 4, Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite, and several world premieres including Michael Gandolfi’s Concerto for Bassoon and Clarinet, as well as special education, holiday, and pops programs.

Special Guest: Daniel Scott King
Dan King was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, a fishing town
on the northern rocky shoreline with a strange mix of working
class laborers, immigrants and old money brahmins from a bygone
era. A great escape destination for poets, artists, musicians and
tourists looking for a glimpse at a forgotten America. Dan grew up
in a mostly Portugese neighborhood and attended Gloucester public
schools. His parents were working class, his father was a Navy man
and later became a butcher and his mother was a bookkeeper.
His first memories of music were his father’s Chet Atkins and Glen
Campbell records. ***Read more… http://danielscottking.com/

Last minute shout out, that Kingsley Flood will be playing The Rhumb Line tonight from 9:30 pm to 12:30 am
I absolutely love Kingsley Flood and have since the first time I got to hear them play. They bring something new to the plate American Roots ( lively folk) with a little bit of a country thing going on. You have to admit there is some pretty fine knee slapping music here. I got the CD “Dust Windows” a while ago and played it over and over again, also sharing it with others. They seem to like it a lot. I personally think they have a masterpiece here. When you can listen to it in the car for over and hour singing along it’s great. My favorite songs are and it’s hard to choose from them all Cul de Sac, Back in the back, Devil’s arms and When I grow up. They seem to get me to the dance floor a lot faster than the others. Listening to their CD it’s like everything is in the right place, especially the fiddle. Check out their songs I am sure that you will agree. http://www.myspace.com/kingsleyflood
Come out and treat yourself to some real fine music.
Joanne
