SAVE THE DATES! MacBeth 2022 Concert Series All concerts held at the Chebeague Community Church unless otherwise noted* Friday, June 24—7:30 p.m. New York Voices This two-time Grammy Award winning jazz vocal ensemble celebrates its 31 st anniversary of delivering performances with imaginative flair. " New York Voices lives up to its reputation as the most exciting vocal ensemble in current jazz...to collect such quality voices in one group is rare enough, yet the real trick of New York Voices is how well they mesh..." raves the BOSTON HERALD. Whether singing jazz, pop or classical tunes, their arrangements and vocals are airtight, and the joy in their music is palpable. Native son, baritone Tyler Putnam , and his mezzo-soprano wife, Sarah Nordin , command the stage with world class voices that can best be described as nothing less than celestial as they allow us to relive the golden era of Broadway, as well as their renditions of memorable arias from favorite operatic works. They may even find time for a little dancing to add action to their otherwise blissful performances. Saturday, July 9—2:00 p.m. Halcyon String Quartet- “Burt Dow, Deep Water Man” The beloved children’s story will feature live music, narration and projections of Robert Mc Closkey’s iconic illustrations.

Suitable for all ages! An ice cream social will follow the performance.
