CAPE ANN ARTS ALIVE – MUSIC AND MORE CAMP at St. John’s Gloucester

Thank you Kathleen Adams for bringing us day 2 of Cape Ann Arts Alive – the children’s art camp looks absolutely wonderful!!

2018 – Day 2
The day started with work on a papier mache project creating props for the grand finale to be held at the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport.  Singing, dancing, and chiming practice, then off to the Cape Ann Museum for a tour focusing on the sea and fishing on Cape Ann, sketchbooks in hand. After returning to St. John’s there was more practice on the music for the Friday performance! More fun and exploration tomorrow!

The public is invited to a review of the camp’s activities at Rockport’s Shalin Liu Performance Center Friday, August 24 at 11:15

CAPE ANN ARTS ALIVE – MUSIC AND MORE CAMP at St. John’s, Gloucester

Thank you Kathleen Adams for sharing this wonderful photo story about the children’s art camp “Cape Ann Arts Alive!”

Daisy Nell leads campers in “Heartbeat from the Sea.” Campers learn a dance, more songs, and take off for City Hall where they meet Her Honor, Sefatia Romeo-Theken and the visiting Mayor of Gloucester, England!
Maggie Rosa leads them up to the bell tower for a panoramic view of the city, and art historian Susan Erony gives them the background of the famous WPA murals.  Back to St. John’s for more music:  singing and chiming. What will tomorrow bring?

Beautiful St. John’s Episcopal Church

I stopped by at St. John’s yesterday before their evening celebration of the Epiphany, and snapped a few photos.  Mark Nelson (their music director) and two other cantors were practicing chanting the Gospel in a beautiful medieval chant.

Their nativity scene was made in Bethlehem, carved from olive wood:

 

The church has a beautiful altar piece:
