WILMINGTON — St. Mary's in the Mountains will continue its Red Door Concerts series on June 24, with “Night Music for A Summer's Eve.”
In an evening of music with something for everyone, musicians from the Deerfield Valley area will offer a wide variety of musical styles and genres, ranging from classical music to folk to jazz, with many stops in between.
All proceeds will benefit Mount Snow Adaptive Sports, a local nonprofit charitable organization providing sports, recreational, and educational programs for people with any type of physical and/or cognitive disability.
“We are so glad to have so many talented local musicians willing to join us at this event,” Deborah Canedy, St. Mary's music director, said in a news release. “All of our performers are volunteering their unique talents to entertain our audience with an eclectic selection of musical styles that will engage everyone, while at the same time helping our neighbors.”
The program will include everything from a Brahms duet performed by clarinetist Kathleen Loomis-Ward with pianist Richard Mattern, to folk favorites and oldies - such as “Blowin' in the Wind” and “Under the Boardwalk” - where the audience can sing along with Sue Nalewajk.
Performances also will include jazz and other vocal standards in a variety of formats (including Gershwin's “Rhapsody in Blue,” “Over the Rainbow,” and “Summertime”), show tunes (such as “The Music of the Night” and “I Could Have Danced All Night”), and more.
Other musicians will include Bob Zeman, Barbara Lipstadt, Eithne Eldred, Deborah Canedy, and Holly and Joe Fortner. The historic and acoustically warm setting of St. Mary's will only add to the evening.
As with all Red Door Concerts at St. Mary's, admission is by donation.
