SAVE THE DATE FOR THE RECEPTION FOR THE EXQUISITE INSTRUMENTS OF JEREMY ADAMS CAPE ANN MUSEUM EXHIBIT!!
Voicing the Woods
An exhibition of Jeremy Adams’s organs and harpsichords
On View at the Cape Ann Museum
October 22, 2016 through February 26, 2017
The public is invited to an opening reception at the Museum on Saturday, October 22 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. The exhibit runs through February 26, 2017.
Voicing the Woods: Jeremy Adams, Instrument Maker showcases the prodigious skills and artistry of Jeremy Adams, one of the most gifted musical instrument makers in New England. The exhibition, which will be held in the Cape Ann Museum’s 1,500 square foot special exhibitions gallery, will include a one-stop chamber organ, a demonstration organ and a selection of harpsichords, each built in their entirety by Adams in his workshop in Danvers, Massachusetts. In addition to the instruments that will be shown in the gallery, a selection of Adams’ furniture will be displayed in the Museum’s 1804 Captain Elias Davis House, offering an interesting contrast to the period furniture in the House.
Jeremy Adams started his musical training at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts, then entered into a six-year apprenticeship at the William Dowd harpsichord shop, also in Cambridge. Dowd, working in the 1950s with harpsichord maker Frank Hubbard, had sparked an international renaissance of interest in bringing authentically historic practices into performance and instrument building, and Adams, along with a handful of other young craftsmen, were the beneficiaries of his highly competitive and well regarded apprenticeship program. Adams began his professional career in the early 1960s, an auspicious time for early music enthusiasts, and quickly gained recognition for his skills both as a musician and a woodworker. He trained with C. B. Fisk (pipe organ design and manufacturer) in Gloucester for two years, during which time he honed his skills in reed voicing and tonal finishing, and in 1969 opened his own shop on the North Shore. Adam’s harpsichords, clavichords and pipe organs can be found in public and private collections around the world, including at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston; the Sapporo Episcopal Cathedral in Sapporo, Japan; Kyoto Fukkatu Kyokai in Kyoto, Japan; the Roxbury Latin School in West Roxbury, MA; the Maple Street Congregational Church in Danvers, MA; and the Annisquam Village Church in Gloucester, MA.
The instruments will be complemented by a series of photographs by Paul Cary Goldberg that document Jeremy’s studio and work process, highlight some of the exquisite detail and workmanship on individual pieces and offer a better understanding of the breadth and volume of his work.
Related Programs
The exhibit will be further enhanced by a robust selection of programs including gallery talks, musical performances and an organ crawl. For a full schedule of programs related to the exhibition please check our website or signup to receive CAM’s weekly e-blast at capeannmuseum.org/eblast.

I purchsed this for my husband for Father’s Day in addition to a Yeti. I thought this would be fun to compare, and its always more fun to drink with a friend! The coozie looks exactly like the Yeti. My husband dis notice that it felt different when screwing the lid on, but this did not affect the chilling capacity. This was able to keep the drink as cold as the Yeti did in 90 degree weather out on the lake. My husbands only complaint was that it kept the beer so cold that you felt like it was your first sip instead of the last which made him deink faster if he wasn’t paying attention! We were very impressed and plan to look into more Rtic products!

TRACKING THE PIPING PLOVER
Piping Plover Fledgling warming on a chilly morning. Birds stand on one leg to conserve energy.
Love everything about this bird–even its tracks in the sand are sweet. The PiPl are with us still, although getting increasingly difficult to discern as their breeding plumage fades to non breeding plumage. You often feel as though you are trying to locate sand upon sand but their fleur delis tracks and gentle melodious piping bird song will lead you to them.

Camping, Kite Flying, and Kitsch
With the desire to go camping for at least one night this summer (and not allowing setting up the tent in the backyard to count) I was happy to head to Salisbury Beach State Reservation Campground.
Totally easy, convenient, inexpensive and fun. We were there in less than an hour, had paid the $22 camping fee ahead of time, checked in at the entrance, and then easily found our little site. We were only there for a night. Next time I’ll absolutely shoot for 3 nights. While most people had RVs or trailers….we traveled light with just our tents. We set up our tents, popped open our camp chairs, set up a volleyball net, and got our bearings straight. I was thrilled to discover that our little plot was equidistant from the beach (like 100 yards) and the little store, restrooms, and showers (like 100 yards). Super convenient.
We got there at 1:00….which was check-in time for new campers. After setting up and just hanging out (which mostly involved watching the boys climb our little tree, flip an empty water bottle end over end to see if they could get it to stand, and play “shut the box”….the simple life!)… we walked to the beach to fly kites and check out the tidal pools.
We ventured into Salisbury for some pizza and arcade fun. While there we took in a bit of the Saturday night concert on the beach. When the boys had exhausted themselves by playing about $40 worth of Harpoon Lagoon (ironically almost twice as much as it cost to actually camp) we went back to our campsite and watched the fireworks before calling it a night.
We slept soundly until 7:00 a.m., had a light breakfast, and then went fishing on the beach. While the much bigger and busier Salisbury Beach was easily accessible and not far away, I was happy to find that our campsite had access to the very end of the Merrimack River and was quiet and serene.
We packed up our gear and were headed back towards Rockport early in the afternoon. Now that we’ve learned the lay-out, taken a little test drive, and gotten our camping feet wet, we’ll definitely go longer next time.

Basilicas of Rome at Gloucester Cinema Sunday August 28th & Thursday September 1- Get your Tickets Online Now!
Hi Joey: Is there any chance you can put any portion of this press release on your blog as we get closer to the date and as your time and space allow. A number of people have told us they can’t wait for the Basilicas show to come to town, and after seeing the Uffizi Gallery movie they were surprised at how many folks still don’t know about the show or the Arts series. It is a program we have been running at Gloucester Cinema since the spring, but it seems to still be a too well kept secret. Any help will be appreciated — “Arm chair touring” Rome will be a nice way to wrap up the summer for many of the locals. Thanks Mary Williams, Gloucester Cinema.
The Papal Basilicas of Rome is a unique film that combines history, spirituality, architecture and art to emotionally involve audiences, as they witness the magnificence that lies inside four Papal Basilicas. Anyone who saw Florence and the Uffizi Gallery can testify to how truly breathtaking and painstakingly detailed the productions in the Art and Architecture series can be.
Whether you have visited Italy extensively or wish you could travel to the Eternal City just once, this 3D film brings to life the Basilicas of St. Peter, St. John in the Lateran, St. Paul Outside the Walls and St. Mary Major. From you seat, Gloucester Cinema’s big screen will place you in sacred sanctuaries, majestic cathedrals that are timeless locations so you can see ancient relics and artifacts.
This is the movie that everyone following Gloucester Cinema’s Art and Architecture series has been waiting for. With two shows only – Sunday 8/28 at 10 a.m. and Thursday, September 1 at 7 p.m., this exclusive north of Boston event runs for 90 minutes. The theater located at 74 Essex Ave, (Route 133) has plenty of parking, easy access and is handicap accessible. Tickets can be purchase online at gloucestercinema.com or in person at the theater box office. For a sneak peak, you can check out the trailer-
