SUMMARY:Folk Week 2025: Ezekiel’s Wheels Klezmer Band
DESCRIPTION:Folk Week 2025\nThe Cape Ann Guitar Society is excited to announce four nights of music where we showcase some of our area’s most unique musical voices in a variety of special venues on Cape Ann. Our diversity is our strength – get to know the folk music of the Puerto Rican countryside\, Jewish celebrations\, the Emerald Isle\, Cape Ann maritime tradition\, and modern Americana. \n\nOpening Night:\nEzekiel’s Wheels Klezmer Band\nWednesday\, August 27th\, 7:30 pm at MAGMA\nTickets: $15\nhttps://www.capeannguitarsociety.org/folk-week-2025\n\nBoston based internationally-acclaimed Ezekiel’s Wheels Klezmer Band brings passion\, virtuosity\, and contagious energy to every performance. The Wheels improvise with the intimacy of chamber music and the intensity of a rowdy dance band. Klezmer is a Hebrew word\, a combination of the words “kley” (vessel) and “zemer” (melody) that referred to musical instruments in ancient times. It became colloquially attached to Jewish folk musicians sometime in the Middle Ages. Working under various restrictions in different centuries and cultures\, Jewish musicians (klezmorim) developed their own unique style out of a variety of local musical styles. Figuring most prominently are Ottoman Turkish modes and Balkan gypsy and clarinet stylings. While “klezmer” referred originally only to instrumental music played by clarinets\, violins\, basses and tsimbaloms (hammer dulcimers)\, it has come to mean Yiddish vocal music as well\, encompassing both folk songs and music from the Yiddish theater\, which thrived in the early 20th century in both Warsaw and New York.

SUMMARY:Duncan Dance Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:The choreographic études of Isadora Duncan explore\, through the action/rest continuum\, the dynamic relationship between affiliation and solitude. Celebrating nature’s unity and rhythm\, these dances\, remembering ancient rituals and archetypes\, are simultaneously earthly and divine. The indomitable human spirit\, ever hopeful is present in this choreography and in all true healing. Isadora Duncan’s goal for the “the highest intelligence in the freest body”: that every living child might have available to them\, the birthright of beauty\, strength\, and freedom.” \n$20\, Summer Workshop 4-pack for $70 (good for Body-Voice-Rhythm\, Duncan Dance\, and Contact Improvisation)  SIGN UP \nThursdays 6-7pm\nJuly 17 – Beauty\nJuly 24 – Freedom\nJuly 31 – Beauty\nAugust  7 – Nurturing\n\nIsadora Duncan\, the Mother of Modern Dance (1887-1927) sought movements that were expressive of the spirit. In the first decades of the 20th century\, she won international acclaim\, commanding attention from artists\, scholars\, and intellectuals on her tours through major cities of Europe\, Russia\, and the United states. Rejecting the toe shoes\, courses\, and gender stereotypes of ballet\, she sought to clear the way for a dance of the future\, one which would be not a diversion but a religion\, an expression of life sounds life”.

Globally the term two step is a comfortable and familiar place\, recognized by diverse communities across the world. It’s familiar.  It’s easy. It’s a reliable go to for those feeling less adventurous when moving to sound\, or without sound. \nAs a comfort zone and place of recognition\, Monstah Black creates ease by leading with the two step\, as the root for exploring beyond its confines. Using key\, simplified\, prompts Monstah guides through a physical journey\, inviting participants to release beyond their perceived limitations.\n\nIn this workshop Monstah introduces personal signifiers used when building material for The Illustrious Blacks live DJ sets. It’s a return to the popular phrase\, tune in\, turn on and drop out” to explore unfamiliar territories.\n\nThe goal: To inspire in others the ability to find one’s self moving freely\, unapologetically\, from a physically liberating space\, from the dance floor to the living room or wherever you feel inspired to MOVE.\n\nThe Illustrious Blacks will perform at the Cut Live in Gloucester on Sunday July 13.

SUMMARY:Spring Song Swap
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS \nGloucester singer-songwriters Miranda Aisling\, Charlee Bianchini\, and Renee Dupuis are coming together at MAGMA to trade songs and stories and welcome Spring. Join them on Friday\, May 2\, 2025 at 7:00 pm. \n\nTickets are available on a sliding scale from $10 – 30 both online and at the door\, ensuring everyone has access to this community event. All ticket holders receive equal entry\, guests are encouraged to support as they are able. \n\n\n\nMIRANDA AISLING \n\nMiranda Aisling (ash-lean)’s mission is to reconnect art to daily life\, a purpose you can see through her work as an interdisciplinary artist\, community organizer\, and creative entrepreneur. Using an art degree from Mary Baldwin University focusing on painting\, pottery\, and piano and an education degree from Lesley University focusing on community art\, Miranda is a professional artist and community arts consultant. Her original folk songs blend frank vulnerability with insightful social commentary. A classically trained pianist who shifted from Bach to the Indigo Girls\, she brings the lively spirit of a folk festival to her performances\, engaging audiences with a mix of sung and spoken storytelling.\n\nRENEE DUPUIS\n\nRenée Dupuis is an active professional vocalist\, songwriter\, and private music teacher. With a degree in vocal performance from the University of Hartford’s Hartt School of Music\, Renée enjoys a diverse career as a freelance musician\, writing and performing with her acoustic duo Renee & Joe and as a part of What Time is it\, Mr. Fox?. She is also a soloist with the Cape Ann Big Band. She is currently the choral director for Waring School.\n\nCHARLEE BIANCHINI\n\nThere are three things that drive my life-momentum: art\, music and travel. I could say that travel is the food\, the nourishment of the former two passions. I travel with purpose\, to see the endless ways that people live their lives\, to find warmth and smiles in the poorest corners\, to cultivate endless understanding and compassion so that I might be a better citizen in a world that is fast growing smaller. Art\, in all its forms\, is the processing of all the information I acquire on the road. Done for both my readers and myself\, I hope that the wonder I find in my journeys does not affect me alone. Music is the voice of joy\, concern\, and empathy with which I am left.
