This weekly “backyard party” makes the most out of the easy Sundays afternoons of summertime!

Bring a lawn chair or blanket to enjoy an afternoon at the farm! Come and listen to live music, have a pint of a local beer, snack on a bison hot dog, visit the farm store and bring the kiddos to meet our friendly farm animals.

Each week features a concert of local musicians from diverse genres: rhythm & blues, jazz, Americana and more. Each open-air concert is the perfect backdrop for family and friends to lounge in the late afternoon sun and soak up the remaining moments of a Maine summertime weekend.

The Harold J. Crosby Band Camp Concert is Sunday, September 21 at Dexter Town Hall 2nd floor at 1:30 pm. This wind, brass, and percussion ensemble concert features Maine composers and arrangers with guest conductor Mr. Jeffrey Marlow. Free. Donations welcome. Entry ramp and elevator available. https://www.cuthbert-foundation.org 207-924-6235

Encounters - An Event of Intriguing Chamber Dialogues

FMI: https://www.venticordi.com/encounters
Join us for a captivating journey through five distinct musical voices, each exploring the art of conversation between instruments.

From the lyrical charm of John Corigliano’s 'The Food of Love' to the rhythmic interplay of Gernot Wolfgang’s 'Encounters', this program celebrates the expressive power of chamber music. Brazilian composer João Guilherme Ripper brings warmth and vitality in his Duo Sonatina, while Gian Francesco Malipiero’s Epodi e Giambi offers a rare gem of 20th-century Italian modernism.

The concert culminates with Mozart’s radiant Quartet for Oboe and Strings in F major, K. 370, a masterwork of elegance and wit.

Lyric Music Theater presents Next to Normal. Weekends September 5-21, 2025, with ASL-interpreted matinee on September 14.

Next to Normal, an intimate exploration of family and illness, loss and grief, is an emotional powerhouse. Dad’s an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal because they are coping with crisis and the unpredictability of a mother’s worsening bipolar disorder. With book and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Brian Yorkey and a thrilling and original rock score by Pulitzer, Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award winner by Tom Kitt, Next to Normal explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness. Winner of three 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, Next to Normal was also chosen as "one of the year's ten best shows" by critics around the country, including The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone and The New York Times. Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family’s story with love, sympathy and heart.

Next to Normal explores complex emotional themes and includes moments that may not be suitable for all viewers such as substance use, grief, mental illness and self-injury. Recommended for ages 14+ with parental discretion.

The clock struck 11 PM at Elvis Presley’s Los Angeles mansion. Under the glow of red and blue lights, The Beatles stepped into a room that seemed to echo the future of music—a jukebox, a crescent couch, and a bar set the stage. Elvis stood at the center, ready for the convergence of two worlds. That night, rock ‘n’ roll royalty sealed its legacy.

The mission of Novel Jazz is to keep the music of Duke Ellington and Strayhorn "alive and swinging". This septet will perform standard tunes from the Ellington/Strayhorn repertoire plus newly arranged compositions that they have unearthed from original recordings, as well as manuscripts from the Ellington Archives of the Smithsonian Museum of American History and the Strayhorn Collection at the Library of Congress. Novel Jazz have dusted these pieces off, rearranged them for the septet and given them a 21st century sound all their own.
