Fortissimo, Pianissimo and ‘Moore’ for Annisquam Series

Two concerts that uniquely command a listener’s sensibilities are offered at the Annisquam Village Church this November. On a day when the clocks are turned back, one may go back farther…all the way to the Renaissance and Baroque.  Early music finds an ideal acoustic at the Village Church when  Kevin Birch performs on Sunday, November 6 at 3 PM.  In addition to the resident instruments at the Village Church, Birch brings his own instrument, based on a late 18^th c. clavichord of Manuel Carmo (Portuguese), illustrating the qualities that make these keyboards the ‘instrument of choice’ for studying organ literature. The delicate sound produced by metal tangents lifting the strings from underneath is so intimate that one ‘leans in’ to hear its remarkable nuance above the clamors of modern life. Pairing this delicacy with the prodigious sounds of the King of Instruments, with early works that evolved into later ones, and with folk tunes that evolved into complex ones, Birch makes the case with all four of the Adams instruments:  the Great Organ, chamber organ, harpsichord, clavichord, and even ….shhh!…a ‘mystery instrument.’  Birch introduced them all in 2016 as part of Adams’s Cape Ann Museum exhibit  “Voicing the Woods.”

Birch holds a Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Iowa with previous studies at the Sweelinck Conservatory (Amsterdam) and at New England Conservatory with Yuko Hayashi, graduating with Distinction in Performance. He serves as Organist and Director of Music at St. John’s Catholic Church in Bangor, Maine, as Executive Director of St. John’s Organ Society and as a member of the music faculty at the University of Maine School of the Performing Arts.   

This performance includes works of Frescobaldi, Dandrieu, Byrd, and Bach. The church is well ventilated and spacious; donations are gratefully accepted to support the music program and the care of these instruments.

A “Listening Party” brings the audience to latter-day music on Sunday, November 20 at 3 PM, featuring AVC’s Artist-in-Residence, Violinist Scott Moore. Commissioned to write a score for the Louisville Ballet’s “As You Like It,”  Moore provides an inside look at the processes that produce such a large work. Answering the form and gestures of Shakespeare’s beloved play, Moore’s collaborations with dance, choreography, and design result in fresh interpretations of Arden Forest,  the lovely Rosalind, the pastoral surroundings and characters, and the jests of Touchstone. Premiered in August, the ballet preceded Moore’s appointment as Concertmaster of the Cape Ann Symphony. Recordings from the rehearsals and performance enhance Moore’s chronicle. 

Save the date for one of the area’s favorite events. Sharing information from the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce regarding Essex Clamfest to be held at Sheperds Memorial Park October 22. Follow here: https://fb.me/e/2UEQGFLkr

Alert-Volunteer opportunity!

This Saturday morning a bunch of good citizens are meeting in front of Captain Hooks (406 Washington Street) at 9 am to paint the rails around the Mill River and Mill Pond. My friend Josh Arnold who has been having a positive impact on our community for decades has organized this and is picking up supplies from the City of Gloucester Public Works. He invited me and I asked if there is room for additional volunteers.

We will be there for a few hours and any amount of time you can volunteer will make a difference. Paint and brushes will be provided but feel free to bring your favorite brush in case we have more volunteers than paint brushes.

The expectation is that this will need both Saturday and Sunday. I’m a little competitive, so I’m hopeful enough people will pitch in and help so that we can accomplish this in one morning. We got 84 people for the downtown cleanup we organized last month, can we do it again?

If you can make it, feel free to just show up Saturday between 9 am and 12 pm. And if you can take a few moments to share this post I’d appreciate that as well.

Holidays approaching fast. Deadline for Christmas orders November 15th.
Again and Again creates unique custom gifts. Message me with your ideas and order.
Wishing you all happy healthy beautiful holidays!!♥️
