CAPE CHARLES WAVE
February 6, 2013
Has the “Music Man” come to Cape Charles?
It might seem so, with the sudden formation not only of a choral group but also a band.
The vocal chorale group is being organized by Arts Enter, the fine and performing art center.
Men and women who love to sing, as well as young adults who are just starting to appreciate the world of music, are invited to participate.
The first meeting of the choral group is 6 p.m. Tuesday, February 12, at the Historic Palace Theatre.
The choral group will be directed by Shirley Christian, a voice professor and accomplished vocal performer who has retired to the Eastern Shore.
Meanwhile, here is what’s happening with the new Cape Charles Band:
The band has grown to 20 musicians, with organizers working to arrange rehearsal space, obtain sheet music, and locate equipment.
Organizers report that the first band meeting/rehearsal will be “very soon,” with an announcement coming later this week.
To date, players include trumpets, clarinets, saxophone, flutes, trombone, percussion, and tuba.
The band needs other woodwinds — oboe, bassoon, piccolo, and bass clarinet — as well as brass instruments including baritone, euphonium, etc. [Read more…]
News Flash! Hot Time in Old Town Saturday Night
Newport News blues artist Tim Morgan performs Saturday night at the Cape Charles Coffee House in an ESO LIVE on-the-road production.
CAPE CHARLES WAVE
February 5, 2013
Another Saturday night, and Cape Charles will be rolling up the sidewalks at 5 p.m.
NOT!
Amazingly, on Saturday, February 9, there are — not none, not one, but TWO shows on Mason Avenue.
Unfortunately, both events begin at 7 p.m., so night trippers will have to choose one over the other.
At the Palace Theatre, “I Played the Palace” is billed as a lighthearted, non-competitive show of talent as local singers, actors, dancers or poets perform on the stage.
The event is free. Hot paninis, soda, snacks, beer, and wine will be available for sale before, during and after the performances.
All are welcome to perform or watch from the red velvet seats in the auditorium.
There are 10 slots of 15 minutes each available for the performers. The microphone will be provided and performers are responsible for their own props, music and costumes.
Entertainers must register by February 7 at Arts Enter for this first-time “I Played the Palace” night.
Melinda McPeek and Wayne Creed will MC the evening, assisted by sound technician Brent Carpenter.
“We are excited about giving performers the opportunity to showcase their talent on a live stage in the beautiful art deco theatre complete with state of the art light and sound,” said Arts Enter Director Clelia Sheppard.
“Hopefully this will the first night of many more where there is no admission and no competition,” she added. “It will be a fun night for all.”
To register, call 757-331-2787.
Meanwhile, just up the street, ESO LIVE! plans to transform the Cape Charles Coffee House into an intimate Blues Club, with the award-winning Newport News songwriter and performer Tim Morgan. [Read more…]
