The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett\, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop\, above which\, he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up… and the carnage has only just begun!\nFOR MATURE AUDIENCES \nMusic and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim\nBook by Hugh Wheeler\nDirected by Peter Sampieri \nApril 17\, 7:30 pm\nApril 18\, 7:30 pm\nApril 19\, 2 pm\nApril 24\, 7:30 pm\nApril 25\, 7:30 pm\nApril 26\, 2 pm \nTICKETS\n$15 general/$10 seniors/free for all students with student ID and under 18. \nFriday\, April 24 is SALEM NIGHT.

SUMMARY:LET GO An Exhibition Featuring Benjamin Herbert\, Kathleen Gerdon Archer\, and Janice Colby
DESCRIPTION:LET GO\nAn Exhibition Featuring Benjamin Herbert\, Kathleen Gerdon Archer\, and Janice Colby \nCove Gallery\, 37 Rocky Neck Avenue\, Gloucester\nExhibition Dates: June 25-July 19\nOpening Reception: July 2 from 5-8PM\nwww.rockyneckartcolony.org \nGloucester\, MA LET GO is a group exhibition bringing together the work of painters Benjamin Herbert\, Kathleen Gerdon Archer\, and Janice Colby in an exploration of discovery\, transformation\, intuition\, and experimentation. Through both abstraction and representation\, the exhibition examines what it means to release certainty and move beyond familiar boundaries — emotionally\, materially\, and conceptually. \nThe exhibition invites viewers into spaces shaped by memory\, landscape\, identity\, atmosphere\, and process. Each artist approaches painting as a form of exploration\, embracing openness\, vulnerability\, and the unexpected as essential parts of creative practice. Together\, the works reflect a shared interest in the freedom that can emerge when control is loosened\, and intuition takes hold. \nBenjamin Herbert’s paintings explore color as a dynamic and immersive material\, examining its ability to shape atmosphere\, perception\, and surrounding space. Leaning into abstraction\, his works create immersive emotional landscapes that invite contemplation and encourage viewers to slow down within an increasingly fragmented\, image-saturated culture. \nKathleen Gerdon Archer’s work explores color\, gesture\, and emotional landscape through layered compositions that reflect her continued interest in the natural world and what is left behind. Incorporating hidden birds in movement and migration\, her paintings evoke memory\, transition\, and quiet connection\, balancing sensitivity\, motion\, and reflection through an intuitive process. \nJanice Colby’s paintings are infused with emotion\, warmth\, beauty\, happiness\, and playfulness — positive human emotions that she describes as “a balm for the soul.” Colby’s paintings invite viewers into moments of delight\, curiosity\, and emotional connection. \nTogether\, LET GO offers a contemplative experience that encourages viewers to embrace uncertainty\, imagination\, and new ways of seeing. \nThe Rocky Neck Art Colony (RNAC)\, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization\, nurtures excellence in the arts through exhibitions\, workshops\, residencies and vibrant cultural events for its members and the public. On picturesque Rocky Neck in Gloucester\, Massachusetts\, RNAC operates three exhibition spaces\, open to the public for free\, The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck (6 Wonson Street); The Salted Cod Arthouse (53 Rocky Neck Ave.)\, a partnership gallery and café; and Cove Gallery (37 Rocky Neck Ave.)\, open seasonally in the former gallery of local artists Gordon and Judith Goetemann.

Its members represent nine countries across four continents\, and their programs juxtapose music from across eras and styles\, creating performances that invite audiences into deeply human and immediate musical experiences. \nPraised as “ferocious and rhythmically mesmerizing” by San Francisco Classical Voice\, Delirium Musicum is widely recognized for its out-of-the-box programming and electrifying live performances. Los Angeles Times critic Mark Swed describes the group as “a step ahead\, ready for anything—virtuosic and versatile.” Through concerts\, tours\, recordings\, and multimedia projects\, the ensemble reaches audiences of wide-ranging backgrounds and musical tastes. \nDelirium Musicum’s debut album\, Seasons\, was released on Warner Classics in April 2023 to international acclaim. Critics across Europe praised the ensemble’s intensity\, urgency\, and ability to connect deeply with listeners\, with Diapason noting the group’s energy and tension in its vivid interpretations. Recent projects include Treelogy\, a three-part collaborative work with composers Billy Childs\, Steven Mackey\, and Gabriella Smith\, commissioned by The Soraya and premiered in Los Angeles in 2023. Inspired by California’s Joshua trees\, sequoias\, and redwoods devastated by wildfires\, the project was hailed by the Los Angeles Times as “a sublime\, classical ode to California’s redwoods\, sequoias and Joshua trees.” \nCommunity engagement is central to Delirium Musicum’s mission. During the pandemic\, Gara and violinist YuEun Kim launched MusiKaravan\, traveling the West Coast in a 1971 VW bus to perform socially distanced concerts for diverse communities. The project evolved into an award-winning streaming series and continues today. The ensemble also presents Baby Concerts\, developed with USC’s Brain and Creativity Institute\, offering interactive musical experiences for infants\, toddlers\, and caregivers. \nDelirium Musicum has received numerous honors\, including a Global Music Awards Silver Medal\, and in 2025 swept all five categories in the San Francisco Classical Voice Audience Choice Awards\, affirming its place as one of today’s most exciting and innovative ensembles.

SUMMARY:LET GO An Exhibition Featuring Benjamin Herbert\, Kathleen Gerdon Archer\, and Janice Colby
DESCRIPTION:LET GO\nAn Exhibition Featuring Benjamin Herbert\, Kathleen Gerdon Archer\, and Janice Colby \nCove Gallery\, 37 Rocky Neck Avenue\, Gloucester\nExhibition Dates: June 25-July 19\nOpening Reception: July 2 from 5-8PM\nwww.rockyneckartcolony.org \nGloucester\, MA LET GO is a group exhibition bringing together the work of painters Benjamin Herbert\, Kathleen Gerdon Archer\, and Janice Colby in an exploration of discovery\, transformation\, intuition\, and experimentation. Through both abstraction and representation\, the exhibition examines what it means to release certainty and move beyond familiar boundaries — emotionally\, materially\, and conceptually. \nThe exhibition invites viewers into spaces shaped by memory\, landscape\, identity\, atmosphere\, and process. Each artist approaches painting as a form of exploration\, embracing openness\, vulnerability\, and the unexpected as essential parts of creative practice. Together\, the works reflect a shared interest in the freedom that can emerge when control is loosened\, and intuition takes hold. \nBenjamin Herbert’s paintings explore color as a dynamic and immersive material\, examining its ability to shape atmosphere\, perception\, and surrounding space. Leaning into abstraction\, his works create immersive emotional landscapes that invite contemplation and encourage viewers to slow down within an increasingly fragmented\, image-saturated culture. \nKathleen Gerdon Archer’s work explores color\, gesture\, and emotional landscape through layered compositions that reflect her continued interest in the natural world and what is left behind. Incorporating hidden birds in movement and migration\, her paintings evoke memory\, transition\, and quiet connection\, balancing sensitivity\, motion\, and reflection through an intuitive process. \nJanice Colby’s paintings are infused with emotion\, warmth\, beauty\, happiness\, and playfulness — positive human emotions that she describes as “a balm for the soul.” Colby’s paintings invite viewers into moments of delight\, curiosity\, and emotional connection. \nTogether\, LET GO offers a contemplative experience that encourages viewers to embrace uncertainty\, imagination\, and new ways of seeing. \nThe Rocky Neck Art Colony (RNAC)\, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization\, nurtures excellence in the arts through exhibitions\, workshops\, residencies and vibrant cultural events for its members and the public.

SUMMARY:Joshua Bell & Larisa Martinez
DESCRIPTION:Husband-and-wife duo Joshua Bell and Larisa Martínez present The Voice and the Violin\, a genre-spanning program exploring art song\, opera\, musical theater\, and works by Puerto Rican and Spanish composers—an acclaimed collaboration presented at major festivals and concert halls nationwide. \n“Bell and Martínez’s musical sensibilities were evenly matched\, the soprano’s delicate voice fitting well with the violinist’s effortless playing… the program retained the feel of an intimate\, 19th-century salon\, yet didn’t pass up the chance for big\, impressive moments.” — Cleveland Classical \nJOSHUA BELL\, violin\nWith a career spanning nearly four decades\, GRAMMY® Award–winning violinist Joshua Bell CBE is one of the most celebrated and influential artists of his era. He has performed with virtually every major orchestra in the world and maintains an extraordinarily active career as a soloist\, recitalist\, chamber musician\, conductor\, and Music Director of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. In 2025\, Bell was awarded an honorary Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by King Charles III for services to music. \nHighlights of Bell’s 2024–25 season include the release of two new albums: Thomas De Hartmann Rediscovered\, featuring the world premiere recording of De Hartmann’s Violin Concerto with the INSO-Lviv Orchestra\, and an album of Mendelssohn piano trios recorded with longtime collaborators Jeremy Denk and Steven Isserlis. An avid recitalist\, Bell tours internationally and performs his popular Voice and the Violin program with soprano Larisa Martínez throughout North America. As a guest soloist\, he appears with leading orchestras including the New York Philharmonic\, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra\, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France\, and Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra\, while also conducting and performing with major ensembles across Europe and the U.S. \nBell has served as Music Director of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields since 2011\, following a relationship with the orchestra that dates back to 1986.

He continues to inspire audiences worldwide through performances\, recordings\, education initiatives\, and innovative collaborations across musical genres. \nLARISA MARTINEZ\, soprano\nInternationally acclaimed soprano Larisa Martínez is widely recognized as one of the most compelling vocal artists of her generation. Born and raised in Puerto Rico\, she is praised for her warm lyric coloratura voice\, expressive musicianship\, and captivating stage presence. Opera News lauded her portrayal of Rossini’s Corinna (Il viaggio a Reims)\, writing that “Ms. Martínez cut an elegant figure\, her deportment on stage matching that of her singing.” \nMs. Martínez has appeared in leading operatic roles including Violetta (La Traviata) with Wichita Grand Opera\, Sophie (Werther) alongside Piotr Beczala\, and Maria (West Side Story) conducted by Lawrence Foster at Festival Napa Valley\, sharing the stage with tenor Michael Fabiano.

SUMMARY:LET GO An Exhibition Featuring Benjamin Herbert\, Kathleen Gerdon Archer\, and Janice Colby
DESCRIPTION:LET GO\nAn Exhibition Featuring Benjamin Herbert\, Kathleen Gerdon Archer\, and Janice Colby \nCove Gallery\, 37 Rocky Neck Avenue\, Gloucester\nExhibition Dates: June 25-July 19\nOpening Reception: July 2 from 5-8PM\nwww.rockyneckartcolony.org \nGloucester\, MA LET GO is a group exhibition bringing together the work of painters Benjamin Herbert\, Kathleen Gerdon Archer\, and Janice Colby in an exploration of discovery\, transformation\, intuition\, and experimentation. Through both abstraction and representation\, the exhibition examines what it means to release certainty and move beyond familiar boundaries — emotionally\, materially\, and conceptually. \nThe exhibition invites viewers into spaces shaped by memory\, landscape\, identity\, atmosphere\, and process. Each artist approaches painting as a form of exploration\, embracing openness\, vulnerability\, and the unexpected as essential parts of creative practice. Together\, the works reflect a shared interest in the freedom that can emerge when control is loosened\, and intuition takes hold. \nBenjamin Herbert’s paintings explore color as a dynamic and immersive material\, examining its ability to shape atmosphere\, perception\, and surrounding space. Leaning into abstraction\, his works create immersive emotional landscapes that invite contemplation and encourage viewers to slow down within an increasingly fragmented\, image-saturated culture. \nKathleen Gerdon Archer’s work explores color\, gesture\, and emotional landscape through layered compositions that reflect her continued interest in the natural world and what is left behind. Incorporating hidden birds in movement and migration\, her paintings evoke memory\, transition\, and quiet connection\, balancing sensitivity\, motion\, and reflection through an intuitive process. \nJanice Colby’s paintings are infused with emotion\, warmth\, beauty\, happiness\, and playfulness — positive human emotions that she describes as “a balm for the soul.” Colby’s paintings invite viewers into moments of delight\, curiosity\, and emotional connection. \nTogether\, LET GO offers a contemplative experience that encourages viewers to embrace uncertainty\, imagination\, and new ways of seeing. \nThe Rocky Neck Art Colony (RNAC)\, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization\, nurtures excellence in the arts through exhibitions\, workshops\, residencies and vibrant cultural events for its members and the public. On picturesque Rocky Neck in Gloucester\, Massachusetts\, RNAC operates three exhibition spaces\, open to the public for free\, The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck (6 Wonson Street); The Salted Cod Arthouse (53 Rocky Neck Ave.)\, a partnership gallery and café; and Cove Gallery (37 Rocky Neck Ave.)\, open seasonally in the former gallery of local artists Gordon and Judith Goetemann. Check the website\, www.rockyneckartcolony.org\, for hours\, openings and special events. For more information\, see the website or call 978-515-7004.
