Community Chorus Carries on Tradition
A 12-year tradition continues tonight, July 3, when the Island Community Chorus sings to open the 2009 season of summer concerts at the Tabernacle in Oak Bluffs.
With Garrett Brown at the Tabernacle’s 12-foot Steinway grand, director Peter Boak will lead the chorus in a festive concert program that ranges from show tunes and spirituals to a rousing rendition of God Bless America.
The African Artists’ Community Development Project and the Chikumbuso Widows’ and Orphans’ Project are collaborating to produce a concert this July in order to raise awareness and funds for Zambian children, widows, and artists.

Musical Mondays at Featherstone Center for the Arts in Oak Bluffs start this Monday, June 29, at 6:30 p.m. with renowned guitarist Jon Zeeman and Friends. The rolling hills at the Featherstone campus create a natural amphitheatre, an ideal environment to enjoy a picnic while absorbing the sounds of Mr. Zeeman’s funk, jazz and blues guitar.
Mr. Zeeman came of age listening to the music of Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. He has worked with Janis Ian, the Allman Brothers and Susan Tedeschi, and for two decades has performed his own music.
