This Italian comedy anthology is a collection of 3 short romantic comedies about couples in different parts of Italy. Loren plays 3 very different women\, all using their sexuality as a means to getting what they want\, while Mastroianni plays 3 very different men\, all enchanted by the attentions of beautiful women. Set in 1954: \nAdelina of Naples is set in a working class neighborhood. Loren supports her husband (Mastroianni) by selling black market cigarettes. She is fined and threatened with imprisonment if she does not pay her fine. She learns that women cannot be imprisoned if pregnant or within 6 months after giving birth. Therefore\, she embarks upon a journey to give birth to seven children in eight years. \nAnna of Rome\, married to a mega-industrialist\, has a poor lover (Mastroianni). While driving in her husband’s Rolls Royce\, she must choose what makes her happiest- the Rolls or her lover. His infatuation is tested by a near tragedy when she expresses no regret when almost running over a child. and crashes the car. \nMara of Rome\, is a fiery prostitute working from her apartment\, serving a variety of high class clients. She seeks the help of a client (Mastroianni) the wealthy\, powerful and neurotic son of a Bologna industrialist\, to spurn the advances of her elderly neighbor’s infatuated grandson who is studying for the priesthood. In a convoluted celibacy trial\, Loren rewards him with a strip tease but refuses to go to bed with him. The striptease scene has become a cult classic: pure elegance\, every movement and expression mastered to perfection\, like a stage show. The scene was choreographed by Jacques Ruet\, who coaxed the best out of a very shy Loren. \nDirected by Vittorio DeSica\, the screenplay was a collaboration between DeSica\, Cesar Zavatini\, Eduardo de Fillippo\, Isabella Quarantotti\, Bella Billa\, Lorenza Zanusca. In 1965\, the 37th Academy Awards\, the film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/classic-film-series-yesterday-today-and-tomorrow/ LOCATION:S.

Believing that remaining in her care is not in the boy’s best interest\, he wants to bring him back to the states. His aunt protests and a lengthy\, heated and entertaining custody battle ensues. As romance blossoms between them\, Gable decides to remain in Italy. \nBased on a story by Michael Pertwee and Jack Davies\, screenplay by Susan Cecchi d’Amico\, and directed by Melville Shavelson\, the film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Art Direction. Filmed on location in Rome\, Naples and Capris\, critics and viewers alike deemed Loren at least as stunning as the location shoots. \nRemaining a star on both sides of the Atlantic over 3 decades\, in addition to her favorites Clark Gable and Marcello Mastroianni\, (with whom she appeared in 11 movies)\, Loren has starred with other such leading men as: Paul Newman\, Marlon Brando\, Gregory Peck and Charlston Heston. \n \n  URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/classic-film-series-it-started-in-naples/ LOCATION:S.

The father (Burl Ives) brings home his headstrong new wife from Italy (Loren\, his third). In order to prevent two of Ives’ three sons from taking over the farm upon their father’s demise\, Loren and Ives’ son Eben (Perkins) team up and enter into an incestuous affair. Desperation and secret passions lead to tragedy. \nBased on playwright Eugene O’Neill’s attempt to adapt the plot elements and themes of Greek Tragedy from his 1924 play of the same name\, the screenplay was written by Irwin Shaw and directed by Delbert Mann. The original play was so highly controversial that it was banned for several years in a multitude of American states\, and for more than 15 years in Britain. Despite the film being largely panned by critics\, Perkins performance was deemed great\, and\, as is often the case in films in which she appears\, whether panned or celebrated\, Loren’s performance is praised for its expression of a wide variety of emotion and her infusion into scenes of tenderness\, special value. The film received an Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography/Black & White. URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/classic-film-series-desire-under-the-elms/ LOCATION:S.

The award-winning Stillson dancers\, returning to Ogunquit by popular demand\, will perform a brilliant array of jigs and reels\, dressed in a variety of dazzling\, hand-made costumes. \nThe performance will consist of both the fluid soft shoe style as well as the rhythmic hard shoe popularized by shows such as Riverdance and Lord of the Dance.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n At the end of the performance\, the dancers will invite children and the young at heart to join them onstage to learn or try out some steps.

She falls in love with him\, and he succumbs to her charms\, setting her up as his mistress. The film offers a peek inside the life of the priesthood\, as the priest struggles between the seduction of a woman he loves\, and the seduction by the Church and its power. He accepts a promotion from priest to a Monsignor in Rome\, giving up Loren\, much as her former lover had done returning to his marriage and family. The director intimates that when it comes to the treatment of a by women\, there is not a lot of difference between a priest and rock’n’roll stars. \nDirected by Dino Risi\, the screenplay was based on a story by Risi. Although declared a “flop” both critically and at the box office\, redeeming features include the car demolition scene in the film’s introduction displaying fantastic stunt driving\, and the luminosity of Loren’s beauty and portrayal of a woman betrayed by love. \n \n  URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/classic-film-series-the-priests-wife/ LOCATION:S.

Town officials believed the “vagrant” to be the region’s inspector general in disguise come to investigate them for unlawfully pocketing tax dollars. They bungle multiple attempts to do away with him. Audiences and critics regard Danny Kaye’s performance to be “the best of our time.” \nA bold example of the genre\, the film is highly entertaining\, with some hilarious and often satirical dialogue\, punctuated by Kaye’s brand of physical humor. \nThis musical comedy\, (suggested by the Play of the same name by Nikolai Gogo and performed in 1836 in the Russian Empire)\, was adapted for a screenplay by Philip Rapp and Harry Kunitz\, lyrics and music by Sylvia Fine (married to the star Danny Kaye)\, musical score and direction by Johnny Green.

Over time\, the film has gained acclaim as one of the best of its genre for its zany antics\, pratfalls\, sense of comic timing\, and series of lunatic and harebrained misadventures. \nThe script was written specifically for Hepburn\, and tailored to her personality.  The behind the scenes story of the making of the film is considered as entertaining as the film itself.  Filming began in September 1937 and wrapped in January 1938\, over schedule and over budget. Production was frequently delayed by uncontrollable laughing fits between Hepburn and Grant. \nDirector Howard Hawks was later quoted as saying\, the film “had a great fault and I learned an awful lot from that. There were no normal people in it. Everyone you met was a screwball…” \n \n  URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/classic-film-series-bringing-up-baby/ LOCATION:S.

This light\, farcical tale features an eccentric neighbor (Charles Boyer) and Fonda’s lonely mother (the delightful Mildred Natwick)\, and takes us through multiple mismatches and misunderstandings\, a potential love match and a threatened divorce. Although the plot and ending are predictable\, the on-screen chemistry of Fonda and Redford more than make up for it. \nRobert Redford and Mildred Natwick both reprised their roles from the stage play.   Barefoot in the Park turned out to be Redford’s first commercially successful movie and the start of a great film career.  Natwick was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actress. \n \n  URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/classic-film-series-barefoot-in-the-park/ LOCATION:S.

A pampered socialite (Claudette Colbert) tries to get away from her overprotective wealthy father\, and meets a roguish reporter (Clark Gable) while traveling on a Greyhound Bus from Florida to New York City\, to reunite with the fortune hunter she married over her father’s objections. The bus breaks down and in return for an exclusive story\, Gable offers to help her reunite with her husband. And so their adventure begins with hitchhiking\, car theft\, betrayal\, misunderstanding\, crossed paths\, and of course\, falling in love. \nClark Gable and Claudette Colbert as Peter Warne and Ellen Andrews take us on a breathtaking journey across the United States with so many cheeky escapades and good-natured wisecracks that the 2 hour runtime simply flies by. \n \n  URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/classic-film-series-it-happened-one-night/ LOCATION:S.

Corral DESCRIPTION:Gunfight at the OK Corral\, released in 1957\, stars frequent film partners Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas. This western drama also features actors Rhonda Fleming\, Jo Van Fleet\, John Ireland\, Dennis Hopper and Kenneth Tobey. \nAn early “buddy movie\,” Earp’s mission to bring the Clayton family to justice also features Holliday’s love spurned by a long time traveling companion (Van Fleet) and Earp’s falling in love with a female gambler (Fleming) whom he arrested for violating the “no female gamblers allowed within the city limits.” The film ratchets between portrayals of guns as a method and solution to law breaking\, and guns as a way to insure certain death. Seen through a modern lens\, one might draw some existential questions. “There’s always a man faster on the draw than you are and the more you use a gun\, the sooner you’re gonna run into that man.” Wyatt Earp \nBased on a dramatized event of a 30 second shootout in 1881 between lawmen\, led by Virgil Earp\, and a loosely organized group of outlaws\, the screenplay written by Leon Uris\, was based on a 1954 article in Holliday Magazine\, entitled  “The Killer” by George Scullin. The film received Oscar nominations in technical categories for editing and sound. The film was a big hit and earned $4.7 million on its first run and $6 million on re-release.  There have been a number of subsequent movies based on the 1881 event: My Darling Clementine\, Badlands of Dakota (1941) and Hour of the Gun (1967). \n \n  URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/classic-film-series-gunfight-at-the-o-k-corral/ LOCATION:S.

Characters include an American alcoholic writer (Lancaster)\, escaping his past and secretly engaged to the hotel manager (Hiller). Another guest (Cooper)\, whose daughter (Kerr) is attracted to a war veteran guest (Niven)\, has discovered a secret which she is sure will end her daughter’s fascination with the Major. Into the midst of these troubled relationships walks the chic former model and ex-wife of the American (Hayworth)\, to a very mixed reception.  As tragic secrets and duplicitous actions are exposed\, the Terrence Rattigan script is touching and sensitive. \nBased on two one act plays by Terence Rattigan\, directed by Delbert Mann\, the movie received multiple Golden Globe and Oscar nominations. Oscar wins include: Best Actor in a Leading Role (David Niven)\, Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Wendy Hiller).

Military leaders believe that the President’s signing of the Nuclear Disarmament Treaty with the Soviet Union is nearly treason and will result in a sneak Soviet attack on the U.S. The viability of the plot rests in the fact that no one wants to believe that such a coup could ever be in process and that the people who are involved are actually involved.  As the plot is exposed\, treachery\, loyalty\, betrayal\, civilian/military leadership tension\, kidnapping\, murder\, public opinion and patriotism all play a part as the plot unravels. \nBased on the 1962 book of the same title\, written by Fletcher Knebel and Charles W Bailey II\, adapted for the screen by Rod Sterling\, the movie received Oscars for Best Art Direction and Best Supporting Actor (Edmond O’Brien) URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/classic-film-series-seven-days-in-may/ LOCATION:S.

Richard Nash. The next year\, Nash turned his story into a Broadway hit\, and two years after that the film version was born. It stars Katharine Hepburn as Lizzie Curry\, an unhappy spinster living on a drought-stricken\, 1913 Kansas farm with her father and two brothers. The only glimmer of romance comes from the town sheriff (Wendell Corey)\, but he is as shy as Lizzie and seems unable to make a move. Into Lizzie’s life sweeps Starbuck (Burt Lancaster)\, a slick-talking con artist who promises the townspeople that for 100 bucks\, he can make it rain. The scam of bringing rain to the parched land\, however\, is merely a metaphor for the real substance of this story\, in which Starbuck slowly makes Lizzie realize that she is actually a sensuous\, desirable woman full of life and confidence. \nViewers will likely find the historically accurate portrayal of women of this period somewhat disconcerting\, but the performance of Katherine Hepburn lifts it out of the ordinary\, presaging future role change. \nThe film also stars Lloyd Bridges\, Earl Holliman\, and Cameron Prud’Homme.

It stars renowned dancer Veronica Tennant\, and ballet superstar Rudolf Nureyev. \nThe story is based on what seems to be a rather simple children’s fairy tale\, about the sleeping princess who can only be awakened by love’s first kiss. The tale was written in 1697 by French writer Charles Perrault as one of the Mother Goose Tales. Deemed by Nureyev as the “ballet of ballets\,” it is considered the most accomplished\, brilliant and spectacular representative of 19th century classical dance.  The work remains a staple in the repertoires of most of today’s ballet companies\, especially during the holidays. \nThe work was inspired by famed choreographer Marius Petipa\, who commissioned an original score by classical composer Tchaikovsky. It was premiered in 1890 in St. Petersburg\, Russia. This version was a 1966 adaptation\, choreographed by Rudolf Nureyev\, after Marius Petipa.

Danced by various stars of London’s Royal Ballet\, stars also include such colorful Potter imagined animals as Jemima Puddle-Duck\, Jeremy Fisher\, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle\, Peter Rabbit and his beautiful and magical garden of dreams. \nThe story begins with a young Potter hard at work on her writing when suddenly her mice\, duck\, frog\, and squirrel creations come dancing to life. Performers render each character with their own unique quirks and personalities and an authenticity that separates this performance from more typical ballet fare. With an all music soundtrack\, the stories come alive with fantastic costumes and masks through both pantomime and dance. \nCreated for film by Frederick Ashton\, with John Lanchery’s music (incorporating mostly forgotten Victorian melodies)\, and adapted for screen by Richard Goodwin and Christine Edzard. \nIn an unusual turnabout\, in 1992\, a ballet was adapted for the stage from this 1971 film!

This music\, dance and ballet extravaganza\, also features supporting actors Oscar Levant\, Georges Guetary and Nina Foch. \nThe plot is the least important aspect of the production. Set in post-war Paris\, this simple story of love won\, love lost\, and love won again\, finds two friends (a struggling painter (Kelly) and a night club singer (Guetary) vying for the love of the same woman (Caron)\, accompanied by the caustic commentary of a third friend\, a perennial piano student (Levant).  However\, this story serves primarily as the backdrop for Kelly’s fabulous dance sequences\, Gershwin songs\, (most importantly his jazz influenced orchestral piece first performed in 1928)\, its creative set locations around everyday Paris\, and its closing ballet. The poignant eighteen-minute closing ballet sequence symbolizes through interpretive dance\, the entire courtship of Kelly and Caron\, with sets and costumes referencing French painters including Dufy\, Renoir\, Utrillo\, Rousseau and Toulouse-Lautrec. It is the climax of the film\, and cost the studio approximately $450\,000 to produce. \nDirected by Vincent Minnelli\, story and screenplay by Alan Jay Lerner\, the movie racked up multiple Oscars: Best Picture\, as well as multiple awards in the major technical categories of Choreography\, Cinematography\, Best Screenplay\, and Best Score.

When Dr. Peterson discovers that Dr. Edwardes is an imposter\, he confesses that the real Dr. Edwardes is dead and fears that he may have killed him\, but has only disconnected snippets of memory. Dr. Peterson is convinced that Edwardes is innocent of the doctor’s murder\, and through psychoanalysis seeks to unravel his amnesia. The final solution is very clever and unpredictable. \nSpellbound\, one of Alfred Hitchcock’s more undervalued movies\, is shot with breathtaking black and white cinematography\, is enhanced by a dream sequence designed by Salvador Dali\, and underwritten by a spectacular music score by Miklos Rosza. Its artistry is memorable. \nDirected by Alfred Hitchcock\, the screenplay by Ben Hecht\, was suggested by the novel “The House of Dr. Edwardes” by Francis Breeding.

The trio dazzles with stunning musicianship and a unique approach to jazz. Unlike other small jazz ensembles who reliably perform their own arrangements of standards from the Great American Songbook\, what sets this trio apart is its detailed note for note transcriptions of great jazz trio performances from the past. Painstakingly transcribing every note of favorite historic recordings\, and then bringing the resulting scores to life as would a chamber music ensemble playing Bach or Beethoven\, infusing the music with their own vitality and interpretations. The result is a celebration of the best in jazz\, delighting both classical music lovers and long-time jazz enthusiasts. \nOther collaborators\, Evan Palmer and Bob Savine\, contribute their abundant talents and well developed skills and originality\, as performers\, arrangers and composers. \nBassist\, oboist and composer Evan Palmer\, based in the Greater Boston Area specializes in music in the Black American tradition\, particularly jazz\, avant-garde and other improvised music.  A graduate of the Berklee College of Music\, Evan studied with John Lockwood\, Francisco Mela\, Linda May Han Oh and many others. He has performed throughout New England and recorded with John Dalton’s Spheres of Influence\, Shinya Lin\, and others\, as well as with his own group\, where he performs his own compositions as well as the music of other great composers\, such as Andrew Hill and Eric Dolphy. \nDrummer Bob Savine\, based in the Greater Boston area\, also studied at Berklee College of Music.\, as well as at Penn State University. Over a long career\, he has partnered with many of the well-known jazz greats\, including Mike Metheny\, Herb Pomeroy\, Dick Johnson and the Artie Shaw Orchestra. He has performed at the Montreal\, Telluride\, and Saratoga Jazz Festivals. Bob is currently on staff at Wellesley College\, where he accompanies and coaches student ensembles.   \nFrom the publication jazz.com\,  critical Praise for the Trio:  “An important addition to the jazz genre…inspiring to behold…these performances stand on their own\, no less legitimate than brilliant performances of Beethoven or Mozart by contemporary classical masters.” \nARTIST WEBSITE: https://www.frederickmoyer.com/ \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click button below to purchase advance tickets. TICKETS \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nElizabeth Dunaway Burnham\n  \nThe Annual Piano Festival honors the memory of Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham\, founder and first chairperson of Ogunquit Performing Arts.  A pianist herself\, Betty studied\, performed and taught piano for most of her life.  She also saw to it that OPA acquired its spectacular Steinway Concert Model C Grand Piano\, which still remains OPA’s greatest treasure. \nBetty had been a piano student all her life\, receiving music degrees from Smith College.  She continued piano studies for many years\, working with  Estelle Broussard of Dunbarton College in Washington\, D.C. and William Masselos\, noted concert pianist and faculty member at Julliard School of Music in New York City.

His program on October 8 includes a variety of classical composers\, climaxed by Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini – with full orchestra! \nFrederick Moyer has entertained audiences in more than 44 countries- in such international venues as the Sydney Opera House\, Suntory Hall in Tokyo\, Windsor Castle\, with orchestras in London\, Hong Kong\, Singapore\, Brazil\, and Iceland- and across every region in the U.S. ranging from Boston\, NYC\, Baltimore and Washington D.C. to St. Louis\, Indianapolis\, and Milwaukee to Dallas\, Houston and Los Angeles. \nHis performances exhibit an affinity for a wide variety of styles in both classical music and jazz\, and his relaxed and witty commentary from the stage engages audiences in the heart of the musical experience. \nMoyer’s wide ranging interests have resulted in the use of technology often with software he has written himself. An avid computer programmer and inventor with multiple patents\, Moyer has created innovative concerts that redefine traditional piano recitals. His MoyerCam gives the audience a view of the hands and keyboard from almost any seat in the audience. His USolo software enables him to play piano concertos in recital with orchestral accompaniment synchronized to his interpretations\, as he will do with this performance. \nCritical praise from the New York Times refers to his work as “First class…His playing is clean\, unmannered\, and full of ideas and intelligence.” \nARTIST WEBSITE: https://www.frederickmoyer.com/ \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nClick button below to purchase advance tickets. TICKETS \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nElizabeth Dunaway Burnham\n  \nThe Annual Piano Festival honors the memory of Elizabeth Dunaway Burnham\, founder and first chairperson of Ogunquit Performing Arts.  A pianist herself\, Betty studied\, performed and taught piano for most of her life.  She also saw to it that OPA acquired its spectacular Steinway Concert Model C Grand Piano\, which still remains OPA’s greatest treasure. \nBetty had been a piano student all her life\, receiving music degrees from Smith College.  She continued piano studies for many years\, working with  Estelle Broussard of Dunbarton College in Washington\, D.C. and William Masselos\, noted concert pianist and faculty member at Julliard School of Music in New York City.  URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/15th-annual-elizabeth-dunaway-burnham-piano-festival-concert-by-frederick-moyer/ LOCATION:S.

His performance will tie in bicentennial themes (only now being performed\, since Maine observed its bicentennial in 2020\, in the midst of the pandemic). In writing and performing his current material\, he includes humor which translates from the 1850’s to the early 20th century\, through the 1950’s and 60’s to the current day- reflecting the connective/common threads across time. \nAmong his early work\, he released 4 recorded performances and a video for the Bert & I Company. For those who may not know the Bert & I  Down East Maine storytellers\, you may well be familiar with some of their most infamous quips: \nWhen a motorist pulled up to a house along the road in East Vassalboro and asked “Which way to East Vassalboro?” the Mainer replied “Don’t you move a gosh darned inch!” \nOR \nWhen asking a local “Lived here all your life?” the local responded “Not yet.” \nIn addition\, since 1979 when he released his first comedy recorded performance\, he has been introduced to a wider audience throughout the world through his 11 years as a regular correspondent on CBS Sunday News Morning\, and in segments he produced on “Postcards from Maine” and the narration of noted author Steven King’s audiobook “Drunken Fireworks.” \nAs early as Mark Twain’s public humor performances\, Maine audiences have been known as “the toughest in the world.” Or as paraphrased by Tim Sample\, “If it isn’t that funny\, you just don’t get it.” Or if you didn’t get it during the performance\, you may find yourself chuckling some hours later as the point of the story reveals itself. \nTim Sample remains one of the most welcomed humorists to Ogunquit- among local residents and visitors alike. Don’t miss this wonderful evening of laughter. \nTickets for this performance will go on sale August1\, 2022 on this website\, or can be purchased at Crickets Corner\, the Dunaway Center\, or the Ogunquit Welcome Center \nFree parking for ticket holders is located behind the Dunaway Center. \nFor more information about Tim Sample\, visit his web-site: www.timsample.com URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/capriccio-music-festival-tim-sample/ LOCATION:23 School St\, Ogunquit\, ME\, 03907\, United States CATEGORIES:Capriccio,Live Performance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/tim-sample.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220910T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220910T140000 DTSTAMP:20260403T133435 CREATED:20220816T182011Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240219T150805Z UID:10000079-1662800400-1662818400@ogunquitperformingarts.org SUMMARY:22nd Annual Capriccio Festival of Kites with the Music of Andy Happel DESCRIPTION:Portland fiddler/singer Andy Happel will provide high-flying music on Ogunquit Beach in two concerts for the Capriccio Festival of Kites on Saturday\, September 10th \, from 10 to 11:30 am\, and 2 pm to 3:30 pm. \nAndy plans to bring along some musician friends to join in the joyous fun\, playing selections from his repertoire of exotic tunes and lilting rhythms. \nSponsored by Ogunquit Performing Arts\, Happel will perform as a part of the 22nd Annual Capriccio Festival of Kites\, with activities occurring from 9 am to 2 pm.  This delightful\, annual Festival features professional kite flying demonstrations\, with multiples\, and oversized kites filling the sky.  Children are provided with free\, white kites\, along with colorful markers and crayons.  They can decorate their own kites\, which are then entered into a contest of many categories and prizes.  Kites are also available for sale at the beach\, so that no one is left out of the fun.  At the end comes the climactic Grand Ascension\, filling the sky with everyone’s kite in the air at the same time.  Admission to the Festival and the Andy Happel concerts is free. \nThe Capriccio Festival of Kites is presented by Cricket’s Corner Beach and Toy\, Ogunquit Performing Arts\, Ogunquit Rotary Club\, Kennebunk Savings Bank\, That Place in Ogunquit\, and the Town of Ogunquit. \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n A little sample of music from Andy Happel URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/the-22nd-annual-capriccio-festival-of-kites-with-the-of-andy-happel/ LOCATION:Ogunquit Beach\, Beach Street\, Ogunquit\, ME\, 03907 CATEGORIES:Capriccio ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/kites.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220909T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220909T193000 DTSTAMP:20260403T133435 CREATED:20220516T190320Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240219T150806Z UID:10000069-1662751800-1662751800@ogunquitperformingarts.org SUMMARY:CANCELLED BY ARTISTS - Soggy Po Boys DESCRIPTION:**CANCELLED BY ARTISTS** \nSteeped in New Orleans tradition\, the Soggy Po’Boys\, a New Orleans flavored septet\, have created a tradition\, and a major New England following\, of their own. \nPhoto courtesy of the artist \nNamed for an over-stuffed\, messy-to-eat N’awlins sandwich\, the Soggy Po’ Boys serve their jazz messy\, mixing New Orleans standards\, spirituals\, contemporary music\, and swing\, creating a unique sound with their own original arrangements\, seamlessly integrating old school funk and Caribbean rhythms. \nIn 2018\, they were named Roots Act of the Year by the New England Music Awards\, and in 2019 released “All in Favor” a recording of traditional New Orleans style\, well known jazz and spirituals\, with original arrangements. \nDescribed by the Vermont Journal as “brass fueled\, swinging music” and by the rich\, colorful language of the London Jazz News: “Although boasting a convivial spirit to rival that of a slick cocktail party favourite The Hot Sardines\, the Soggy Po’Boys like things a bit rougher around the edges.

He was a traditionalist in the sense that he greatly revered the subtlety and power of movement displayed by Haydn\, Mozart\, and Beethoven\, with an added influence from Franz Schubert. But Brahms was desirous not of reproducing old styles but of infusing the language of his own time with his own constructive power. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Antonín Dvořák\, in full Antonín Leopold Dvořák\, (born September 8\, 1841\, Nelahozeves\, Bohemia\, Austrian Empire [now in Czech Republic]—died May 1\, 1904\, Prague)\, was the first Bohemian composer to achieve worldwide recognition\, noted for turning folk material into 19th-century Romantic music.In 1875 Dvořák was awarded a state grant by the Austrian government\, and this award brought him into contact with Johannes Brahms with whom he formed a close and fruitful friendship. Brahms not only gave him valuable technical advice but also found him an influential publisher in Fritz Simrock\, and it was with his firm’s publication of the Moravian Duets (composed 1876) and the Slavonic Dances (1878) for piano duet that Dvořák first attracted worldwide attention to himself and to his country’s music.

Their performances feature a strong spontaneous style and capability\, as almost everything they do is improvisational. Much of the band’s repertoire was written in the period from 1900 to 1935 by the early New Orleans jazz legends. \nThe band includes banjo\, cornet\, trombone\, tuba\, clarinet\, piano\, and drums. They have enjoyed enthusiastic audiences wherever they play\, as their song selection usually includes up-tempo instrumentals and vocals with amusing lyrics. Their shows are typically peppered with commentary both informative and laced with humor.The original elements of the band started up in 1990 when several local musicians pulled together to play traditional New Orleans-style jazz. Over the initial few years\, the group more resembled a pick-up band as numerous musicians rotated through its ranks from gig-to-gig. The mix usually added a second banjo and a vocalist\, and was known in the early days as The Classic Jazz Ensemble. \nBy 1995\, the band had developed a musical style of its own and gained a reputation for quality of play and a bandstand humor that audiences found irresistible. The name was upgraded to The Riverboat Stompers\, as it was thought this better communicated the lively delivery of the band in concert. \nAppearances followed at such venues as the Regatta Bar\, a WBZ radio talk show hosted by Dave Maynard\, Quincy Market\, a WGBH radio jazz show hosted by Ron della Chiesa\, Ryles Jazz Club\, and repeat invitations to do summer concerts across Eastern Massachusetts. The band has further evolved and continues to please audiences across New England. \nEnjoy the music of the Riverboat Stompers here\, and join us on May 21st! \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Parking for audience members behind the Dunaway Center. \nListen to these fabulous artists at their website listed below. \nwww.riverboatstompers.com/raves URL:https://ogunquitperformingarts.org/event/river-stompers-jazz-band/ LOCATION:S.

Her awe-inspiring funeral\, attended by seven million devoted followers\, is the opening to the musical\, with the narrator then bringing the story back by over a decade\, explaining how a B-movie actress became the object of such controversial devotion. \nEvita stars Madonna in the title role\, with Jonathan Pryce and Antonio Banderas. Directed by Alan Parker and written by Parker and Oliver Stone\, the film production of Evita was as extravagant as the subject matter; the 84-day shoot involved 93 full cast members\, over 40\,000 extras\, and totaled out at over 60 million dollars. A replica of the Peron palace was under construction in London\, since shooting had been forbidden at the original location. However\, Madonna was able to persuade Argentina’s President Menem to grant access to Casa Rosada for the famous balcony scene. \n \nAt a benefit to aid the victims of an earthquake\, rural-girl-turned-actress Eva Duarte (Madonna) meets Colonel Juan Perón (Jonathan Pryce)\, an ambitious politician with designs on the presidency. They fall in love and Eva encourages his plans to become dictator of the country\, even using her star power to get him released from prison when his enemies order his arrest. On February 24 1946\, Perón is elected president with a huge majority\, but it quickly becomes apparent that it’s his glamorous wife who’s the focus of the people’s love. \nAffectionately nicknamed ‘Evita’ by her millions of devoted followers\, Eva founds a huge charity to alleviate the suffering of the nation’s poor. Throughout it all\, the beautiful first lady is dressed in the latest high fashion and she is accused of being a distraction for the people\, rather than an aid\, by the embittered and cynical narrator (Antonio Banderas.) With millions of people still utterly devoted to her\, Evita continues to appear in public\, dazzling her supporters and enfuriating her enemies\, despite being secretly consumed with terminal cancer. At the end of the musical\, she dies\, aged 33\, resulting in hysterical mourning throughout Argentina. \nEvita was nominated for six Oscar®s\, including nominations for Cinematography\, Art Direction\, and Editing. Lloyd Webber and Rice took home the Academy Award for Music (Original Song)\, for “You Must Love Me.” The worldwide gross for the film totaled over 140 million.
