CAPE ANN BIG BAND NEW YEAR’S CONCERT

Description

The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation proudly presents the Cape Ann Big Band in a New Year’s Concert as part of its Tenth Anniversary Series of concerts, silent movies, civic events and more!  The historic Meetinghouse was built in 1806 for the first Universalist congregation in America, now the home of the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church, on the newly restored green at the corner of Middle and Church Streets (GPS 50 Middle Street).
The Cape Ann Big Band, conducted by Carlos Menezes, has connected with local musicians of all ages and backgrounds to inspire, challenge, and educate since 2010.  CABB's repertoire always features vocal and instrumental standards from the “Golden era” of Swing, pop tunes, and as well as show-tunes derived from popular films.
Inspired by the sounds of Jazz, New Orleans’ street bands, Soul, and Rock n’ Roll, the band prides itself in a repertoire without horizons.  Several talented upcoming High School performers will be featured with the Band for this special concert!
Tickets are available at the door and online (recommended) with more information at: www.gloucestermeetinghouse.org. General admission is $25, students $5, under 12 free.
Parking is encouraged on the Green in front of the Meetinghouse (enter between the granite pillars) and available at other locations around the Historic District. The side entrance at 10 Church Street offers an elevator to the main level if needed. This is a great opportunity for the whole family to enjoy a unique New Year’s celebration concert by the Cape Ann Big Band!
