This season, the Cape Ann Youth Chorus has been celebrating the power of community among people and with the creatures of our natural world. Their pieces on the program run the gamut from classical to pop, folk to French cabaret.

Representing the Cape Ann Jazz Messengers is a small combo of sax, guitar, piano, and drums out of the larger group. In addition to playing a few jazz standards on their own–“Have you met Miss Jones”, “Recorda-Me”, and “Oleo” or “Blues for Alice” (TBD soon)–they’ll be supporting the youth chorus as additional musicians on several pieces.

Writing our Musical History is a unique program created by Rockport Music that empowers students to write, compose, perform, and record their own original music about their hometown. This performance will showcase two songs created during this school year’s residency at Gloucester High School as well as a song from last year’s residency at Rockport Schools which will bring back an alumnus from Rockport to share the song they created last year.
