Washington Workshop
Jan Buhrman of Kitchen Porch catering will host a workshop in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 22 and 23 as part of Martha’s Vineyard Culinary and Agricultural Experiences.
When Science Hits the Pan: Cooking For the Heart and Soul will cover how to prepare meals using whole foods and fresh vegetables, understand the power of so-called superfoods in your diet, how to decode food labels, and the importance of sustainable agriculture.
There are many iconic Vineyard lifestyles available for the dreaming, but Kevin Keady is living what might be the most romantic of them all: he is a singer-songwriter (his band, the Cattle Drivers, has a cult following here) whose dayjob is a farmhand on Chappaquidick. Yes, really.
The musical play Bears Beware — Goldilocks Is in Your Town answers the question “What kind of world is it were little girls break into houses that bears own?”
Like her on-stage vaudeville persona, Angel Russell herself is a variety act.
A barista, herbologist, florist and painter — most recently she has been painting large, close-up portraits of chickens — Ms. Russell is first and foremost a musician.
She currently lends her nimble fingers to four Island bands, playing piano, guitar, trumpet, drums and bass.
Islanders Play Festival
Three Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School musicians participated in the Music Educators’ Southeast District Festival at Oliver Ames High School last weekend. Sidra Dumont and Emily Lowe sang with the choir of over 200 voices, and Madison Ibsen, second chair viola out of 14, performed with the 96-piece orchestra.
Later this month, Emily and Madison will be auditioning for the Massachusetts All State Festival, which will be held at Symphony Hall in March.
