Buzzards Bay Musicfest

It is with great pride and pleasure that we welcome you to the 20th season of the Buz-zards Bay Musicfest. As we celebrate and reflect on twenty years of providing outstand-ing orchestral, chamber and jazz programs, with free access to all, we want to take this opportunity to thank our many donors, friends, volunteers, host families and partners for their vital support.

We also want to extend our deepest appreciation to Trudy Kingery. For 20 years, the Buzzards Bay Musicfest, Marion and surrounding communities have been recipients of Trudy’s hard work, expertise, extraordinary commitment, generosity and service. We are deeply indebted to her for her tireless efforts in founding, growing, and sustaining the organization.

She has established a legacy of which she can be deeply proud, and our community will continue to benefit from her efforts for years to come.

Thank you, Trudy!

As we celebrate the 20th annual Buzzards Bay Musicfest, an event which has grown each year in regional response and national reputation, it is a delight to see so many friends and supporters return each season. Equally rewarding are the young faces of those who enthusiastically attend our Open Rehearsal.

On behalf of all the artists, I want to thank the wonderful host families whose warm wel-come into their homes creates an atmosphere so conducive to joyful music making and camaraderie. We have all been made to feel at home in Marion through the efforts of our host venues.

As you enjoy the music provided in our five concerts, please remember that, although there is no admission charge, there are costs and expenses that are incurred and are covered only by your generous donations – large and small. Please consider becoming a patron of our music here on the South Coast. Donate as generously and as frequently as possible. I hope that you will sit back, relax and enjoy this season’s selections, knowing you are part of this wonderful success story!

I would also like to thank the members of the Board of Directors, our other many volun-teers and our partner, Tabor Academy, without whose efforts this festival would not be possible.

All of us on stage are thrilled to be back in Marion, and we hope you enjoy this season’s musical offerings.

Yours Charles Stegeman, Artistic Director Cover: “Marion in Retrospect” by Andy Anderson

A Note of Thanks

Welcome

Welcome to Tabor Academy!

We are so glad you are here! Hosting the Buzzards Bay Musicfest is one of the highlights of our summer. Just like the musicians who join us this week from all around the country, our students strive for the highest standards of achievement in their music, and across all areas of their school life. Can you imagine hearing them practicing in this building, the various instruments and voices, all blend-ed with laughter and their youthful energy? Music is alive and well here at Tabor! We hold two concerts each year of our Wind Ensemble and our String Ensemble here in the Fireman Center for the Perform-ing Arts. We also have a Jazz Ensemble and several choral groups, including our Madrigal Singers, which perform throughout the year, some of them run by students. Many of our students take private music instruction whether they participate in our organized ensem-bles or not. Because of the great interest in music at Tabor, we enjoy a vibrant series of Open Mic Nights all year long, when our students share popular music with friends and faculty on a Friday or Saturday night. With all that energy filling this space all year, it is good to have the music return to Hoyt Hall for this week during the summer!

We welcome you to Tabor and hope you enjoy the music. We also hope you will take a little extra time to stroll along the waterfront and enjoy our beautiful campus. Thank you for joining us.

Orrin Evans, piano, is a two-time Grammy nominee and Pew Fellow, and has been recognized as one of the most distinctive and inventive pianists of his generation.

Dear Buzzards Bay Musicfest Friends and Supporters, Welcome! It is with tremendous pride and great pleasure that we present the 20th Annual Buzzards Bay Musicfest. Our very talented Artistic Director, Charles Stegeman, has assembled some of the finest musicians in the world for this very special week of music. They come to us from teaching institu-tions, professional orchestras and a variety of other musical venues across the globe, and we are grateful for the excitement and enrichment they provide for our community.

We are thrilled to announce the return of Antony Walker as our Guest Con-ductor this season. His impressive energy and musicianship, and the rapport that has formed between him and our artists provide very memorable perfor-mances.

We are also excited Orrin Evans is returning this year for our Saturday evening jazz program. Orrin, a Grammy nominee, will perform with his quartet and guest vocalist.

As you can imagine, a great deal of work, both musically and behind the scenes, goes into producing a series of concerts infused with creative insight and profound musicality. We are grateful for and thank our community of donors, supporters, musicians, host families and volunteers. Together they ensure that truly wonderful music is performed on the South Coast in the summer. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we invite you to enjoy the pow-er of music.

Welcome to Tabor Academy!

We are so glad you are here! Hosting the Buzzards Bay Musicfest is one of the highlights of our summer. Just like the musicians who join us this week from all around the country, our students strive for the highest standards of achievement in their music, and across all areas of their school life. Can you imagine hearing them practicing in this building, the various instruments and voices, all blend-ed with laughter and their youthful energy? Music is alive and well here at Tabor! We hold two concerts each year of our Wind Ensemble and our String Ensemble here in the Fireman Center for the Perform-ing Arts. We also have a Jazz Ensemble and several choral groups, including our Madrigal Singers, which perform throughout the year, some of them run by students. Many of our students take private music instruction whether they participate in our organized ensem-bles or not. Because of the great interest in music at Tabor, we enjoy a vibrant series of Open Mic Nights all year long, when our students share popular music with friends and faculty on a Friday or Saturday night. With all that energy filling this space all year, it is good to have the music return to Hoyt Hall for this week during the summer!

We welcome you to Tabor and hope you enjoy the music. We also hope you will take a little extra time to stroll along the waterfront and enjoy our beautiful campus. Thank you for joining us.

It is with great pride and pleasure that we welcome you to the 20th season of the Buz-zards Bay Musicfest. As we celebrate and reflect on twenty years of providing outstand-ing orchestral, chamber and jazz programs, with free access to all, we want to take this opportunity to thank our many donors, friends, volunteers, host families and partners for their vital support.

We also want to extend our deepest appreciation to Trudy Kingery. For 20 years, the Buzzards Bay Musicfest, Marion and surrounding communities have been recipients of Trudy’s hard work, expertise, extraordinary commitment, generosity and service. We are deeply indebted to her for her tireless efforts in founding, growing, and sustaining the organization.

She has established a legacy of which she can be deeply proud, and our community will continue to benefit from her efforts for years to come.

Thank you, Trudy!

As we celebrate the 20th annual Buzzards Bay Musicfest, an event which has grown each year in regional response and national reputation, it is a delight to see so many friends and supporters return each season. Equally rewarding are the young faces of those who enthusiastically attend our Open Rehearsal.

On behalf of all the artists, I want to thank the wonderful host families whose warm wel-come into their homes creates an atmosphere so conducive to joyful music making and camaraderie. We have all been made to feel at home in Marion through the efforts of our host venues.

As you enjoy the music provided in our five concerts, please remember that, although there is no admission charge, there are costs and expenses that are incurred and are covered only by your generous donations – large and small. Please consider becoming a patron of our music here on the South Coast. Donate as generously and as frequently as possible. I hope that you will sit back, relax and enjoy this season’s selections, knowing you are part of this wonderful success story!

I would also like to thank the members of the Board of Directors, our other many volun-teers and our partner, Tabor Academy, without whose efforts this festival would not be possible.

All of us on stage are thrilled to be back in Marion, and we hope you enjoy this season’s musical offerings.

Yours Charles Stegeman, Artistic Director Cover: “Marion in Retrospect” by Andy Anderson
