Epic in sound and kaleidoscopic in vision, Boston Music Award winning band “Entrain” is the eclectic Martha’s Vineyard-based group that has been thrilling critics and fans alike for decades. Led by drummer/founder Tom Major and guitarist Brian Alex, their collective resume includes stints with such diverse players as Bo Diddley, Bob Weir, James Taylor, Carly Simon, Donna Summer, Missing Persons, Chuck Berry, Southside Johnny, and a one-time sit-in performance with President Bill Clinton.
Entrain shifts effortlessly between musical styles – from rock, blues, calypso and ska, to zydeco, jazz and funk – often within the same song. Their latest record “Reason To Feel Good” has enjoyed heavy rotation among numerous stations, including regular plays on Kenny Chesney’s “No Shoes Radio”. Entrain’s feel-good single “Lucky Just to Be Alive,” was number 2 in WMVY radio’s top 25 songs, only behind superstar Adele.
The percussion heavy influence has been described by former Boston Globe music critic Steve Morse as “Enough drums to sink a battleship!”

The unbearable July heat has the denizens of NYC’s Washington Heights neighborhood in the streets shouting, “Que calor!” Several established businesses have closed. Housing costs – and racial tensions – are on the rise. And the once vibrant, now dwindling community must rally together to preserve their culture and their way of life.
Lin Manuel-Miranda’s music-filled love letter to the community of his youth, In The Heights, tells the story of the corner bodega where the coffee is hot, light, and sweet, the apartment windows that are always open, and the cool breeze that carries the percussive rhythm of the bustling city and three generations of dreams. And for this community on the brink of change, it tells a story of hope, heritage, and healing love.

ROCKPORT CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL: THE WESTERLIES
2024-06-16 17:00 - 18:30 | Shalin Liu Performance Center, 37 Main Street, Rockport, MA, 01966, United States
The Westerlies, “an arty quartet…mixing ideas from jazz, new classical, and Appalachian folk” (New York Times), navigate jazz, classical and folk with the precision of a string quartet, the audacity of a rock band, and the charm of a family sing-along.
The Westerlies present a program of living composers whose music they have championed in recent years. Pulitzer-Prize winner Caroline Shaw’s landmark string quartet Entr’acte, the centerpiece of The Westerlies’ 2023 release, is presented alongside the title track from their 2020 release Wherein Lies the Good by Robin Holcomb. The program continues with folk songs adapted from Sam Amidon and Nico Muhly, whose genre-expanding work has inspired The Westerlies since the ensemble’s formation at The Juilliard School over a decade ago. The Westerlies present this body of music with their signature precision and virtuosity, and in the process, craft a sound that is warm and tactile, engaging and expressive, at once familiar and completely their own.
THE WESTERLIES
The Westerlies, “an arty quartet…mixing ideas from jazz, new classical, and Appalachian folk” (New York Times) are a New York-based brass quartet comprised of Riley Mulherkar and Chloe Rowlands on trumpet, and Andy Clausen and Addison Maye-Saxon on trombone. From Carnegie Hall to Coachella, The Westerlies navigate a wide array of venues and projects with the precision of a string quartet, the audacity of a rock band, and the charm of a family sing-along.
“Chamber music with bracing melodies and, crucially, an undeniable sense of fun.” LA Times
Formed in 2011, the self-described “accidental brass quartet” takes its name from the prevailing winds that travel from the West to the East. The Westerlies explore jazz, roots, and chamber music influences to create the rarest of hybrids: music that is both “folk-like and composerly, lovely and intellectually rigorous” (NPR Music).
The ensemble has produced numerous critically acclaimed albums of genre-defying music. 2022 saw the release of the Songbook Vol. 2 and Live at TOURISTS on Westerlies Records, the ensemble’s in-house record label. The previous year was a prolific year for the ensemble, with the release of Fireside Brass: A Westerlies Holiday (Westerlies Records), Songbook Vol. 1 (Westerlies Records), and Bricolage (Westerlies Records), a collaborative album of improvisations with pianist/composer Conrad Tao. 2021 also saw the release of This Land, the ensemble’s collaboration with GRAMMY-nominated vocalist Theo Bleckmann. Sought-after collaborators, The Westerlies are also featured on recordings by Fleet Foxes (Nonesuch), Big Red Machine (Jagjaguwar), Vieux Farka Touré (Six Degrees Records), Common (Lakeshore) and Dave Douglas (Greenleaf).
Education and community engagement are core elements of The Westerlies’ mission. In 2021, The Westerlies were named the inaugural small ensemble-in-residence at the School of Jazz and Contemporary Music at The New School. The Westerlies also produce an annual music festival in Seattle called Westerlies Fest, which combines evening performances featuring numerous guest artists, an all-day open-to-the-public creative music jamboree, and workshops in local public schools. The Westerlies have engaged students of all ages and abilities around the country with their innovative assemblies and masterclasses, promoting the values of cooperation and inclusion through music.

JAKE SHIMABUKURO
2024-06-17 20:00 - 21:30 | Shalin Liu Performance Center, 37 Main Street, Rockport, MA, 01966, United States
Reinventing the ukulele into an instrument of seemingly boundless capabilities, Hawaii native Jake Shimabukuro fuses his deft fingerpicking technique into a unique style that includes elements of jazz, blues, funk, rock, bluegrass, classical, folk, and flamenco. The virtuoso will be returning to Rockport for a special, intimate duo format likely to include his jaw-dropping interpretations of pop classics (“Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Hallelujah”) as well as his own thrilling compositions.
Shimabukuro was given his first ukulele at age 4 and never looked back. His mother, an accomplished ukulele musician in her own right, got him started and soon the Honolulu native started performing in and around Hawaii and developing his own fanbase. He joined the acclaimed Hawaii trio Pure Heart and later the band Colón before going out on his own in 2002. Shimabukoru first gained mainstream recognition in Japan (where he frequently tours), releasing several records that became hits in Japan.
But it wasn’t until a friend posted a clip of the young ukulele maestro on YouTube that Shimabukuro broke out into the American market. The clip, a cover of the Beatles’ “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” went viral and soon he was getting collaboration requests from stars including Jimmy Buffett, Béla Fleck, Ziggy Marley, Cyndi Lauper, and Yo-Yo Ma. He toured with Buffett in 2005, 2006 and 2007, and is featured on several of Buffett’s albums and videos, including his 2007 CD/DVD release Live in Anguilla.
His records began getting major distribution and radio play, the budding worldwide star finding a sweet spot between pop, world, bluegrass and classical, mixing in pop covers with his own intricate compositions. His 2011 release, Peace Love and Ukelele rose to #1 on Billboard’s world music charts. Subsequent records like 2012’s orchestral Grand Ukelele and 2015’s more intimate Travels showcased the breadth of Shimabukuro’s talent and interests. Last year he released Jake and Friends, a star-studded recording that included duets with a host of artists including Jack Johnson, Willie Nelson and Jimmy Buffet among others.

Hailed as “one of the most admired pianists of his generation” by the New York Times, Inon Barnatan has received universal acclaim for his “uncommon sensitivity” (The New Yorker) and “impeccable musicality and phrasing” (Le Figaro).
As a soloist, Barnatan regularly performs with many of the world’s foremost orchestras and conductors. He was also the inaugural Artist-in-Association of the New York Philharmonic from 2014-17. In November 2023, Barnatan releases his album, Rachmaninoff Reflections, offering some of the composer’s most cherished piano works, including his Moments musicaux, Prelude in G-Sharp Minor, and Barnatan’s own arrangement of the Vocalise.
Equally at home as a curator and chamber musician, Barnatan is Music Director of La Jolla Music Society Summerfest in California, one of leading music festivals in the country. He regularly collaborates with world-class partners such as Renée Fleming and Alisa Weilerstein, and plays at major chamber music festivals across the United States. Barnatan was a member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s Bowers Program (formerly CMS Two) from 2006 to 2009, and continues to perform with CMS in New York and on tour.
Barnatan’s passion for contemporary music has resulted in commissions and performances of many living composers, including premieres of new works by Thomas Adès, Sebastian Currier, Andrew Norman and Matthias Pintscher, among others. As Artistic Director of the La Jolla Music Society SummerFest, Barnatan has collaborated with Grammy-winning jazz vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant, visionary director and visual artist Doug Fitch, the Mark Morris Dance Group, Garrick Ohlsson, Augustin Hadelich, Caroline Shaw, Carter Brey, Anthony Roth Costanzo and more.
Barnatan’s accolades include an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2009, Lincoln Center’s 2015 Martin E. Segal Award and the Andrew Wolf Memorial Award. Born in Tel Aviv in 1979, Inon Barnatan started playing the piano at the age of three, when his parents discovered his perfect pitch, and made his orchestral debut at eleven. His musical education connects him to some of the 20th century’s most illustrious pianists and teachers: he studied first with Professor Victor Derevianko, a student of the Russian master Heinrich Neuhaus, before moving to London in 1997 to study at the Royal Academy of Music with Christopher Elton and Maria Curcio, a student of the legendary Artur Schnabel. The late Leon Fleisher was also an influential teacher and mentor.

Sydney Baedke, soprano
Named a “rising star to watch” by Opera Canada, soprano Sydney Baedke has been described as possessing a voice of “exquisite lyricism” (The Guardian). Recent engagements include her Royal Opera House debut in The Rape of Lucretia, for which she was praised for her “unmistakably moving” portrayal of the Female Chorus (Opera Today), role debuts as both Mimì and Musetta in La bohème, and concert appearances with the Aldeburgh Festival and Carnegie Hall. In 2023/24 she debuted with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra (Bruckner’s Te Deum), Pacific Opera Victoria (Contessa Almaviva, Le Nozze di Figaro), and returns to Montreal’s Maison Symphonique as the soprano soloist in Beethoven’s 9th Symphony with Orchestre Philharmonique et Chœur des Mélomanes. The first prize winner of Edmonton Opera’s 2023 Rumbold Vocal Prize Competition, she is a three-time prize winner at the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition.
