THE CAPAWOCK THEATRE OPENING

It is hard to believe that the Eisenhauer Gallery in Edgartown is celebrating its 15th year!  Fortunately Elizabeth and her husband Paul are experts in planning a wonderful gallery opening.  With oysters on the half shell, a range of fine wines, and Jonny Hoy playing in the courtyard, everyone had the fun of enjoying art and people… all the rocking chairs on the porch were full and in motion….

After two and a half years of planning and fundraising, the Gay Head Light will start to move to its new location on Thurs, May 28. It will take approximately three days to move along steel tracks to a safer distance of 180' from the eroding cliff edge, which geologists estimate will give the structure another 150 years! This is a truly remarkable project to save an island treasure. The lighthouse will open to visitors again by the end of July 2015.

Although it has been highly reported, it is still amazing to drive to Chappaquiddick from South Beach across Norton Point!  Many remember when a 2.5 mile strip of sand connected Chappy to Edgartown, until a harsh storm in 2007 created the breach at Norton Point.

The Island Community Chorus performed Saturday and Sunday April 11th and 12th at the Old Whaling Church in Edgartown. Sunday afternoon the audience was enthusiastic and so were the ninety-something members of the choir. They seemed eager to perform and perhaps more confident given that they performed the previous evening. The setting was light, open and intimate offering a nice opportunity to admire again, Margo Datz’ trompe l’oeil work (she completed the mural in 2013) and to appreciate the rich quality of sound.

Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn played at the Martha’s Vineyard Performing Art Center Wednesday April 15th to a full and extremely enthusiastic audience.  For those who do not know this married musical duo, Bela is a gifted banjo player who composes and performs with great musicians from all over the world in a vast range of genres. He has been nominated for 30 Grammy awards and has won 15; Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, his band from the late 80’s, combined blue grass, jazz and rock- he’s a “musician’s musician” and it’s clear that Bela’s mind never stops…
