Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival at First Congregational Church of Wellfleet

Kobi Malkin, violin Pawel Knapik, bass
Grace Park, violin Jon Manasse, clarinet
Danielle Farina, viola Alec Manasse, clarinet
Brook Speltz, cello Jon Nakamatsu, piano

Talented artists join Manasse and Nakamatsu – including Jon’s son Alec Manasse. Clarinetists Jon and Alec will join the string players to perform Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor – even though the modern clarinet had not been invented in Bach’s time! The other piece is a worldwide chamber music favorite, Schubert’s Quintet in A Major, known as the “Trout,” for Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass, and Piano.

The New York Times praised award-winning Israeli violinist Kobi Malkin for his “aptly traversed palette of emotions, from languid introspection to fevered intensity with gorgeous tone and an edge-of-seat intensity.” Grace Park is an internationally acclaimed violinist who recently gave her debut recital at Carnegie Hall; the San Francisco Chronicle called her “fresh, different, and exhilarating.”

Brook Speltz is the award-winning cellist of the internationally renowned Escher String Quartet and an artist of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center who also performs on extensive tours with the cello rock band Break of Reality. Since completing his master’s degree at The Juilliard School, clarinetist Alec Manasse has enjoyed a lively and varied professional life. Alec plays regularly with many of New York City’s top ensembles, including the Metropolitan Opera, the American Ballet Theater Orchestra, and the American Symphony Orchestra. He also frequently played in the Orchestra of Sweeney Todd on Broadway.

August 23 and 24

This course is designed to offer unique opportunities to learn more about the turtles of Cape Cod with an emphasis on the threatened diamondback terrapin. In early summer, female diamondback terrapins leave the salt marsh to lay eggs in adjacent uplands. Several months later tiny turtles emerge from their eggshells, tunnel to the surface, and head to the marsh.

For over 30 years we have been studying the populations of terrapins in Wellfleet Bay. Through nesting surveys, mark and recapture studies, radio telemetry, and habitat and prey analysis, we have built a solid foundation of data to begin understanding the life histories of these animals and the human impacts affecting them.

During this two-day field school you will gain first-hand knowledge of turtle biology; monitor nests for hatching activity; weigh, measure, and release hatchlings; and document nesting success at various Outer Cape locations.

Indoor presentations will complement our field studies. A lecture on the first evening will provide a good overview of diamondback terrapins and their natural history. On the second afternoon there will be a lecture focusing on research conducted to study hatchling movements using radio tags, and an update on nesting statistics in our region.

*Please note: the hours listed on the schedule may vary from the sample schedule in the field school brochure and are subject to change based on tides, staff, optimal wildlife sightings, and other variables. A detailed schedule will be prepared and sent to registrants at approximately 3-4 weeks in advance.

This course is one of several Cape Cod Field Schools offered. To learn more, visit www.massaudubon.org/capecodfieldschools.

The day Elspeth Hay learned that we can eat acorns, stories shed believed her whole life began to unravel. Until then she'd always believed we must grow our staple foods in farmed fields—the same fields wreaking havoc on our land, air, and water. But all over the Northern Hemisphere, Hay learned, humans once grew our staple foods in forest gardens centered on perennial nut trees: oaks, chestnuts, and hazelnuts. In Feed Us with Trees, Hay brings us along as she gets to know dozens of nut growers, scientists, Indigenous knowledge-keepers, researchers, and food professionals, and discovers that in tending these staple trees, we once played a vital environmental role as one of Earth's keystone species. Feed Us with Trees is Hay's hopeful manifesto about a brighter, more abundant future-and a critical look at the long- held stories well need to rewrite to build it. It will appeal to environmentalists, regenerative farmers, permacuiture enthusiasts, agroforesters, locavores, and anyone hungry for a more holistic, nutrient-dense diet rooted in wild foods and ancient knowledge.

Monthly exhibit of Outer Cape Contemporary Artists - Catherine Hess

On Exhibit: September 1 - 27

Artist Reception: Sunday, September 7, 4:00-6:00 PM

Curated by Robert Rindler

ARTIST’S STATEMENT: 

I have been in love with making art since I was child, and in love with Wellfleet since I first visited in the ‘70s.  While I am inspired by the entire Outer Cape, my first love, Wellfleet, is the source material for much of my artwork. Over the years, I have created watercolors, monotypes and white line prints sparked by Wellfleet scenes. This exhibit focuses on my oil paintings of favorite places in this narrow land town dominated by the National Seashore. Most of these paintings were done onsite, or “en plein air”.  Others were inspired by photos I took when walking areas of Wellfleet. The exhibit includes paintings done at or inspired by our ocean dunes, Duck Creek, Great Island, Mayo Beach and along Chipman’s Cove, Burton Baker Beach and Indian Neck near my home. Many of these works were created using palette knives, some with brushes, and some using both tools, depending on what the scenes demanded.

ARTISTS BIO

A long-time annual visitor and later part time resident of Wellfleet, Catherine Hess became a year- round resident in 2021. While she studied oil painting in fine art courses in college, she worked primarily in watercolors for decades afterward, learning in community art classes and workshops. With her move from the Washington DC area to Wellfleet, and now having a studio at her home, she again took up oil painting. She also creates monotypes, known as “painterly prints” and white line or “Provincetown prints”. Although she regularly paints and has exhibited figures and portraits, her primary focus is Outer Cape landscapes, most often done “plein air” or onsite. She loves being immersed in the outdoors, and it shows in her impressionistic paintings of dunes, marshes, shorelines and iconic buildings of the Outer Cape. She aims to capture the feeling of a scene- its light, its movement, and its textures, for which she often uses palette knives. She is particularly drawn to painting the day-to-day, season-to-season, and year-to-year changes in Outer Cape landscapes. Catherine showed her work in the Washington DC area when she lived there, and more recently has exhibited extensively on the Cape - at art museums and centers, as well as galleries. Her work has been chosen for many juried shows and has won awards in several of them. This is her ninth solo show since 2018. She has been included in special exhibits at Addison Art Gallery and Garvey Rita Art and Antiques, both in Orleans, and has shown her paintings at The Works Gallery in Wellfleet since 2021. Learn more at www.CatherineHessArt.com.

Monthly exhibit of Outer Cape Contemporary Artists - Catherine Hess

On Exhibit: September 1 - 27

Artist Reception: Sunday, September 7, 4:00-6:00 PM

Curated by Robert Rindler

ARTIST’S STATEMENT: 

I have been in love with making art since I was child, and in love with Wellfleet since I first visited in the ‘70s.  While I am inspired by the entire Outer Cape, my first love, Wellfleet, is the source material for much of my artwork. Over the years, I have created watercolors, monotypes and white line prints sparked by Wellfleet scenes. This exhibit focuses on my oil paintings of favorite places in this narrow land town dominated by the National Seashore. Most of these paintings were done onsite, or “en plein air”.  Others were inspired by photos I took when walking areas of Wellfleet. The exhibit includes paintings done at or inspired by our ocean dunes, Duck Creek, Great Island, Mayo Beach and along Chipman’s Cove, Burton Baker Beach and Indian Neck near my home. Many of these works were created using palette knives, some with brushes, and some using both tools, depending on what the scenes demanded.

ARTISTS BIO

A long-time annual visitor and later part time resident of Wellfleet, Catherine Hess became a year- round resident in 2021. While she studied oil painting in fine art courses in college, she worked primarily in watercolors for decades afterward, learning in community art classes and workshops. With her move from the Washington DC area to Wellfleet, and now having a studio at her home, she again took up oil painting. She also creates monotypes, known as “painterly prints” and white line or “Provincetown prints”. Although she regularly paints and has exhibited figures and portraits, her primary focus is Outer Cape landscapes, most often done “plein air” or onsite. She loves being immersed in the outdoors, and it shows in her impressionistic paintings of dunes, marshes, shorelines and iconic buildings of the Outer Cape. She aims to capture the feeling of a scene- its light, its movement, and its textures, for which she often uses palette knives. She is particularly drawn to painting the day-to-day, season-to-season, and year-to-year changes in Outer Cape landscapes. Catherine showed her work in the Washington DC area when she lived there, and more recently has exhibited extensively on the Cape - at art museums and centers, as well as galleries. Her work has been chosen for many juried shows and has won awards in several of them. This is her ninth solo show since 2018. She has been included in special exhibits at Addison Art Gallery and Garvey Rita Art and Antiques, both in Orleans, and has shown her paintings at The Works Gallery in Wellfleet since 2021. Learn more at www.CatherineHessArt.com.

Jerry Portnoy grew up in Chicago hearing the blues being played outside his tather's rug store on famed Maxwell Street during the late 1940s and early '50s. While bumming around Europe following a stiny as a paratrooper early in the Vietnam War, Portnoy heard the blues again on a record by Sonny Boy Williamson and instantly became obsessed with mastering blues harmonica. He returned to Chicago and in 1974 he was playing in small Black clubs at night when Muddy Waters plucked him from his day job to fill the historic harmonica chair in his fabled band. Eric Clapton followed suit in 1991. In a career that took him from ghetto taverns to the White House and the Royal Albert Hall, he went from the raggedy vans and cheap roadside motels of the blues world to the private jets and five- star hotels of the rock world. Between those two very different gigs was a struggle to survive the vagaries of the music business and the pressures of life on the road. Dancing with Muddy details the surprising, lively, and sometimes bumpy ride of a blues harmonica legend.

Jerry Portnoy has played on several Grammy Award-winning albums while recording with a wide variety of artists including Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Hubert Sumlin Bill Wyman and many others, and was a Grammy Award nominee in 1997 for his work with the Muddy Waters Tribute Band. Television credits include appearances on Saturday Night Live, Soundstage, MTV, VH1, and the Disney Channel, as well as writing and performing original music for Sesame Street. He lives on Cape Cod.

Community Read of When Things Fall Apart, presented by the Lily House

How can we live our lives when everything seems to fall apart-when we are continually overcome by fear, anxiety, and pain? The answer, Pema Chödrön suggests, might be just the opposite of what you expect. Here, in her most beloved and acclaimed work, Pema shows that moving toward painful situations and becoming intimate with them can open up our hearts in ways we never before imagined. Drawing from traditional Buddhist wisdom, she offers life-changing tools for transforming suffering and negative patterns into habitual ease and boundless joy.

Led by Kim Crawford, board member of the The Lily House and Senior Minister Emerita of Arlington Street Church (UU), Boston.

Community Read of When Things Fall Apart, presented by the Lily House

How can we live our lives when everything seems to fall apart-when we are continually overcome by fear, anxiety, and pain? The answer, Pema Chödrön suggests, might be just the opposite of what you expect. Here, in her most beloved and acclaimed work, Pema shows that moving toward painful situations and becoming intimate with them can open up our hearts in ways we never before imagined. Drawing from traditional Buddhist wisdom, she offers life-changing tools for transforming suffering and negative patterns into habitual ease and boundless joy.

Led by Kim Crawford, board member of the The Lily House and Senior Minister Emerita of Arlington Street Church (UU), Boston.

WOMR's The Fiddle and the Harp DJs present an evening of live Celtic music with Dinah Mellin, Walter Buckingham, Mark O'Leary, and Denya LeVine.

Dinah Mellin was classically trained on violin, then got an art degree from Wells College. Dinah joined The Cape Cod Fiddlers, and various other bands over the decades. Allegretto Outreach, a group that took music demo programs to Cape Cod schools, was something Dinah started at Snow Library, Orleans. Brick Hill House Concerts, where folks can hear every note, is Dinah’s living room. Some big-time names have performed in Dinah’s house since 2010; such as Jim Malcolm of Old Blind Dogs, Seamus Begley, Eilis Kennedy; Riley Baugus & Dirk Powell; Rocker Patti Rothberg; the list goes on.

Walter Buckingham's love and mastery of good music is suited to an unusually wide range of styles and settings. Educated at Berklee College of Music, Walter has performed on a number of record labels including Northstar Records, Mode Records, and Folksong in the Classroom. He has performed & recorded with composer/conductor John Cage at Jordan Hall, New England Conservatory, Boston, and in concert series with Tom Rush, Michael Johnson, and Aztec Two Step.

Mark O’Leary was raised on a diet of Irish songs and stories. In college he discovered a love of performing, and appeared in a number of groups, all of which eventually disbanded due to varying combinations of matrimony and fisticuffs. But the love of the music continued--and continues--and today you can occasionally hear him at sessions, farmers markets and other locations around the Cape.

Denya LeVine, fiddler, ukulele player, singer, has been a WOMR DJ since 1985. Raised on a regimen of folk, classical and ethnic music, she's been performing since her dentist asked her to sing when she was 5. A full-time entertainer for 20 plus years, and part time for decades before, she chose to cut back to half time after the pandemic. It's enough. She loves the concept of creating a shindig with Dinah, Mark and Walter.

Doors open at 6:30pm. Show starts at 7pm. Tickets now available at www.eventbrite.com/e/the-fiddle-the-harp-djs-in-concert-to-benefit-womr-tickets-1458611248509?aff=oddtdtcreator

Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay

Sept 26, 27 & 28

Birding on the Cape during fall migration offers incredible diversity. Resident species mingle with southbound migrants and early arriving winter birds. We will explore the Outer Cape's barrier beaches, salt marshes, tidal flats, and woodlands in search of shorebirds, raptors, seabirds, songbirds, and ducks. This field school also features a whale watch out of Provincetown to search for pelagic birds!

During the course, we will touch upon topics such as identification, breeding biology, foraging ecology, and migration-including a fantastic opportunity to experience bird banding through a demonstration by Certified Master Bander James Junda. There is nothing as exciting as seeing a bird up-close and in-hand, and to learn what researchers can learn about birds only through banding! That evening, an indoor presentation will complement our field experiences.

*Please note: the hours listed on the schedule may vary from the sample schedule in the field school brochure and are subject to change based on tides, staff, optimal wildlife sightings, and other variables. A detailed schedule will be prepared and sent to registrants at approximately 3-4 weeks in advance.

This course is one of several Cape Cod Field Schools offered. To learn more, visit www.massaudubon.org/capecodfieldschools.

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 26, 7:00 PM

Wellfleet Preservation Hall

Part on stage confessional, part on stage exorcism, actor and filmmaker Nick Cohen recounts his rollercoaster journey from Edgware Road in London to Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles trying to crack Hollywood. Growing up, Nick had dreams of Oscar glory but when he touched down in La La Land, things didn’t quite go as planned. Life with Oscar is a dark autobiographical comedy that sees Nick come to terms with the feelings of shame, failure and later redemption from his time in Tinseltown via his Jewish roots and a host of larger-than-life characters from the twisted underbelly of the City of Angels. Nick plays 29 different characters as he relates his journey, including a double Oscar winning housemate who worked with iconic filmmaker Orson Welles and promised Nick an Oscar nomination, the man who modeled the Oscar trophy itself, and a potential future bride who just happens to be the daughter of a psychotic producer. Life with Oscar debuted at last year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe (Underbelly) in 2023 before then transferring to the Arcola Theatre in London and touring to the East Coast of the USA in 2024 and venues across the UK in Spring 2025.

Nick said, ‘I was always evasive about what happened to me in Hollywood. It took a long time to understand that the mortifying embarrassment and sense of failure, was - not only something that many people feel about their careers - but also very funny. Having received great responses to the show in Edinburgh, London, and the USA, I am excited to bring Life With Oscar back to more locations across the USA.’

Nick Cohen is a writer, actor, director and producer. He trained with Theatre de Complicite and began his career at the Gate Theatre and the RSC and was later Staff Director at the Royal National Theatre under Trevor Nunn. As Artistic Director of Strange Fish Theatre, he directed
The Power and The Glory (Etcetera Theatre), Good Bones (Southwark Playhouse) and The Taming of The Shrew (Bloomsbury Theatre and international tour) as well as producing Blood Knot (Gate Theatre) which was Time Out Critic’s Choice. Later, Nick trained on the BBC Drama
Director’s Academy directing screen works including feature films London Unplugged, The Reeds, Beginners Luck, TV episodes of Eastenders, Doctors, Channel Four documentary Firing Line, and a number of short fiction films and nonprofit films for the Refugee Council and Migrant Resource Centre.
