Scenes from Cape Ann Symphony Annual Meeting. Special Event and Dinner at Minglewood.

photos: The Cape Ann Symphony Annual Meeting was held in Minglewood Harborside (the Tavern) full service special event space on January 29, 2025.

What an impressive and humble assembly of dedicated supporters! Many board members have helped the symphony for years. Board President, John Todd, reviewed the prior season and made certain to introduce the contributions and efforts of CAS officers and members, like Martha and Roy Mayne from Manchester. Martha has been hanging CAS posters for 15 years on Cape Ann and beyond. Her husband, Roy, now assists her. Todd extended regrets from Maestro Yoichi Udagawa who was attending to his father. Robert Ellis, Chair of the Program Committee explained that planning for the 2025/2026 season is well underway and the program reveal will be announced soon. Shhh! Don’t forget that a major milestone anniversary is on the horizon for Cape Ann Symphony, a cultural anchor on Cape Ann then and now. There is so much fun history to tap into. Lynn Khambaty mentioned that the Cape Ann Symphony Musicians Unleashed Sunday Broadway event was sold out, and detailed how these small delights evolved from antecedents decades past when donations were dropped in a bowl at the back.

In the meantime, the Cape Ann Symphony big spring concert for the current season is coming up Sunday March 16th at 2pm: Mendelssohn, Saint-Sëans, & Beethoven featuring guest artist, a returning and CAS audience favorite, cellist Owen Young! Buy tickets here. Check out the poster designed by board member Monty Lewis below the photo block for more info. Cape Ann Symphony is a professional regional symphony that is well and widely regarded and a treasure to experience its impact so close to home.

The service was excellent and the food was terrific for this congenial Annual Meeting and celebration. Minglewood’s event space has a dedicated full bar along its Rogers Street wall and customizable table layout and menu design. The original Chris Williams Octopus sculpture was re-sited from the old Latitude’s waterfront entrance to out front here and looks fantastic.

TOMORROW

First Friday with Big Ol’ Dirty Bucket!

Friday, April 26th, 2019, 7:00pm

Big Ol’ Dirty Bucket has taken the New England music scene by storm since their debut in 2009. The full size ensemble has redefined the sound of classic funk, by slathering it with hip-hop, blending it with flavors of jazz, blues, rock, soul.

Hailing from Boston, Big Ol’ Dirty Bucket is led by the triple-threat of velvet-voiced front-woman Kobi, emcee Micah Casey (a.k.a. “Big Daddy Disco”), and guitar slinger/vocalist Ryan Green (a.k.a “Funk McNasty”). The ferocious and relentless groove of the bands all-original funk music is driven by the the thunderous rhythm section of drummer Dave Share, bassist Joe Cesarz, and percussionist Jim Schunemann. The groups hard-hitting pocket sound is rounded out by Keyboard extraordinaire Scotty King, and a horn section anchored by saxophonist Matt Oliphant, trombone player Rich Houghton, and trumpeter Bryan McCulloch.
