Arts & Entertainment
The Martha’s Vineyard Chamber Music Society continues a popular holiday tradition this Saturday, Nov. 28, presenting its annual Thanksgiving weekend concert at 7:30 p.m. at the Whaling Church in Edgartown.
Pianist Delores Stevens, the music society’s artistic director, has invited three notable artists to join her in a concert program that will feature two great quartets from the classical repertoire: Beethoven’s Piano Quartet, Opus 16, and Fauré’s Piano Quartet in C Minor.
Do you like to act? sing? dance? Are you between the ages of 8 and 18? Then here is a performance opportunity for you: IMP is producing the family fun play with music Bears Beware! Goldilocks Is in Your Town, by Donna Swift and Ross Mihalko, lyrics by Ross Mihalko, music by Brian Weiland and A.J. Robb. No experience is needed, just a desire to work hard and have fun.
Film: Frogs and Toads
Island kids won’t have to complain about being banished to the children’s table for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Two days later, they’re invited to be the guests of honor at a feast of their own — the Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival’s Family Film Feast event at the Chilmark Community Center.
Islanders Play for Islander’s Benefit
Nectar’s closes out its first year here in true Vineyard style: a legion of Island musicians will take the stage for the venue’s final show, and a portion of the $15 ticket sales will go to a pair of charities: West Tisbury’s David Tucker, who suffered a heart attack back in September and has since acquired a decent pile of medical bills; and the Island Affordable Housing Fund.
Doors open at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 28. For details, call 508-693-1137.
