Beethoven’s 9th: Ode to Joy at Barnstable Perfor

Beethoven’s 9th: Ode to Joy at Barnstable Performing Art Center
🎵
DATE: May 14
TIME: 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
🎵
As we conclude our season-long tribute to Beethoven’s 250th, we laud the genius who set the standard for perfection. We’ll go on a journey with Beethoven the man, the idealist, the revolutionary. Our brilliant principal string players will perform “Grosse Fuge,” one of the most visionary works for string quartet of the 19th century. This work is a daring emotional journey, titanic in scope and relentless in its energy. Pianist Mikael Darmanie will perform the shimmering “’Moonlight’ Sonata,” perhaps Beethoven’s most popular composition for the piano.
🎵
The pinnacle of our celebration is, of course, Beethoven’s very best: the towering Ninth Symphony. “Ode to Joy,” the final movement, is many things: a protest anthem, a celebration of music, a call for unity among all humankind. One of the reasons the Ninth is so special is that Beethoven was the first major composer to include the human voice in a symphony. Requiring a brilliant chorus, four outstanding soloists, and an enormous (and enormously talented) orchestra, Beethoven’s Ninth is perhaps the greatest triumph of Western classical music, and this performance will be a monumental experience!

About Robert H. Goddard: Father of Modern Rocketry – Massachusetts Air and Space Museum
🚀
The museum has a new exhibit on Robert Goddard: The Father of Modern Rocketry. Dr. Goddard launched the first liquid fueled rocket in 1926 at Auburn, Massachusetts, opening the door for the space age.
🚀
Come learn how the earliest days of rackets laid the groundwork for the eventual landing of men of the moon and building the International Space Station. The work that Goddard did at Clark University in Worcester, MA made it possible for rockets to go farther and higher than ever before. The museum has been loaned from Clark University a model of Goddard’s first rocket that took flight in March of 1926. The exhibit shows the various parts of the delicate rocket and describes the work that Dr. Goddard performed to achieve success.

🎭
Tessa, a veterinarian who now runs a dog rescue in Northern CA, is outspoken, has an over inflated sense of justice, & probably drinks too much. Being forced out by an incoming Starbucks, she is desperate to find a new building for her no kill shelter. She is at the mercy of the disapproving city council, is confronted with her high school sweetheart moving back home, all the while mentoring teenage volunteer & budding vet Molly Mattie, who has a penchant for pop culture, & thinks Tessa is the greatest thing since sliced bread. At the end of her rope, Tessa is left with approaching her estranged father for financial assistance to keep the rescue open to save the dogs, and ultimately, herself.

An Intimate View: Sandwich through a Lens 📷 D

An Intimate View: Sandwich through a Lens
📷
Dates: May10th- June 19, 2022
Location: Sandwich Glass Museum
Time: 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM
📷
An intimate view: Sandwich through a Lens focuses on life in Sandwich at the turn of the twentieth Century, illustrated through photographic images printed from glass plate negatives originally belonging to the Jones family, and on loan from the Sandwich Public Library and its Archives.
📷
The history of the Jones Family in Sandwich began not in Massachusetts, but far away in Alsace-Lorraine, France. It is a quintessential American story of hardship, sacrifice, immigration and success, and has surprising twists and turns along the way.
📷
Joshua and Reliance (Phinney) Jones settled in Sandwich in the 1850's, and their son Isaiah Tobey Jones later purchased what is now the Isaiah Tobey Jones Bed and Breakfast at 165 Main Street. Isaiah was a principal in the Sandwich Tack Company, then located on Shawme Pond, as well as being instrumental in organizing national marketing and distribution efforts for the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers Association. The family grew and prospered, having seven children and becoming integral members of the economic and social fabric of Sandwich life.
📷
In the late 1800's, Isaiah Tobey Jones Sr. purchased over fifty-five acres of salt marsh, beach and creeks between the town of Sandwich and the beachfront of Cape Cod Bay, and in the fall of 1897 built a cabin/camp in the midst of the marsh, to the east of the boardwalk.
📷
This area was donated by the family to the town of Sandwich, and the images in this exhibition celebrates the Jones' life in town and on the seashore, a life that is still relatable and enjoyed by many today who love Sandwich.
