The sound of 101 trained voices lifted to meet the acoustical splendors of the Whaling Church is one of those pleasures that come along only twice each year — during the Christmas holidays and over a weekend each spring. Last Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon, hundreds of Vineyarders took advantage of this offering.
The 100 voices that make up the Island Community Chorus will fill the warming spring air of Edgartown with two performances this Saturday and Sunday, April 17 and 18, at the Old Whaling Church.
Sinfonietta Concert
The Vineyard Sinfonietta presents a free spring concert on piano and is at 3 p.m. on April 11 at the West Tisbury Congregational Church. The hour-long concert features pianist John Gorman, mezzo soprano Martha Hudson, and the Sinfonietta’s string players, performing music by Bizet, Vivaldi, Beethoven, Mendelssohn and others. All ages are welcome; donations will be accepted
Music and Lyrics
The Vineyard Haven library presents Poetry in Music: a performance featuring the vocal talents of Naomi Arenberg, Stephanie Miele and others, on Wednesday, April 7 at 7 p.m. The evening’s themes concern nature, love and the sea.
