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.

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 titled Locomotors on Friday, September 5 at 8:00pm. 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. Tickets can be found here.The mission of Windhover this season continues to be: Collaboration… Connection… Community… and Creativity, 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.

Meet Bruno! This sweet Lab mix has come full circle – born to one of our dogs here at the shelter, he was adopted as a puppy and recently returned through no fault of his own. Life took an unexpected turn, but he’s ready to find a new beginning with someone who understands him.
Now a mature boy, he gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would likely thrive in a home with a calm, confident canine friend. While he’s incredibly gentle and kind, the shelter environment has been a bit overwhelming for him. He can be nervous with new situations and sudden changes, so we recommend a quieter home without young children.
Once he settles in and knows he’s safe, his sweet personality shines. He’s loyal, sensitive, and would love nothing more than to be someone’s shadow – the kind of dog who just wants to be near his person.
If you’re looking for a steady, loving companion who’s already past the puppy chaos but still has so much love to give, this handsome guy might be your perfect match.
Bruno is now part of the extended stay club and his adoption fee has been reduced to help him find his forever home sooner.
