TYLER PUTNAM AND SARAH NORDIN A SPECIAL 10 TH ANNIVERSARY PROGRAM SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 7:00 P.M.

PAUL ENGLISH’S DOUBL E SAXOPHONE QUINTET SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 7:00 P.M.

Houston-based pianist and composer Paul English has been full of delightful musical surprises each time he has performed on Che beague — the intimacy of a jazz trio, the fascinating rhythms of Brazilian tunes, the inspiration of sacred music, to name a few. This season will be no exception. He’ll be “cooking” with a unique, two saxophone quintet composed of “a geographically diverse group of jazz masters.” Paul says, “You will never again believe that one saxophone is enough. Prepare to be enthralled, in no way appalled, pleased and appeased, sated, for, as stated, these fellers are stellar.” NOVEL JAZZ SEPTET SUNDAY, AUGUST 20, 2:00 P.M. CHEBEAGUE ISLAND SCHOOL YARD What could be more compelling? A sunny Sunday afternoon, folks in lawn chairs scattered around the schoolyard, dogs and kids dart ing around and the alluring music of Billy Strayhorn and Duke El lington. The “cats” (jazzspeak for musicians) tell us that Che beague is their favorite place to play — and it shows in the joy they take in playing familiar standards such as “Lotus Blossom,” “Take the A Train” and “Chelsea Bridge” and in introducing us to rare tunes they’ve found at the Smithsonian Institution. So, bring your blankets and lawn chairs and settle in for an entrancing afternoon of “America’s classical music.” SEASIDE BRASS QUINTET SUNDAY, AUGUST 27, 2:00 P.M. JIM AND ANNE GALLAGH ER’S COTTAGE The Seaside Brass Quintet has been a part of the summer concert series almost since its beginning, presenting programs of classical, jazz, Broadway and popular tunes. Rossini juxtaposed with Len non and McCartney juxtaposed with Irving Berlin. You get this versatile picture! Their concert two years ago was one of the most popular of that season — familiar music, a beautiful, relaxed set ting, even a fun, show tune trivia game. It will be great to wel come them back. Special Note: Concert pianist Diane Walsh, a beloved regular in our series over the past half dozen years, has retired from playing professionally. We respect her decision, of course, and wish her well, but will miss her passion, consummate technique and com pelling programs.

Tyler and Sarah first thrilled Chebeague concertgoers ten years ago with an eclectic program featuring beloved music from Broad way and opera. Every summer since they have taken a break from their blossoming careers to enchant the audience that loves them best. For this special anniversary program, they are working on a surprise segment that promises to make this their most memora ble appearance here yet. One recent review said, “Putnam and Nordin command the stage with world-class voices that can best be described as nothing less than celestial.” We already knew that. SEBAGO LONG LAKE MUSIC FESTIVAL THURSDAY, JULY 20, 6:30 P.M. The musicians of the Sebago Long Lake Music Festival, who cele brated their 50 th anniversary last year, have become part of the Chebeague extended family. They relish their time on Chebeague, renewing friendships, enjoying island hospitality, strolling on the beach, rehearsing with the sounds of gulls and lobster boats in the background. For over 20 years, Chebeaguers in turn have em braced them and their inspiring chamber music. This summer, their program will feature works by Haydn, Kodaly and Dvorak’s Piano Quintet in A Major, acknowledged as “one of the finest ex amples of late Romantic chamber music.” Please note the special time of this concert. WONDERFUL WORLD: A MUSICAL RETELLING OF ROBERT MCCLOSKEY’S BLUEBERRIES FOR SAL AND ASHLEY BRYAN’S WONDERFUL WORLD AND LET IT SHINE. We are delighted that the 2023 season will feature our second annual performance for “children of all ages”— a musical depic tion of Robert McCloskey’s Blueberries for Sal and Ashley Bryan’s Wonderful World and Let It Shine . Last summer, the young mem bers of the Halcyon String Quartet captivated the children, par ents, grandparents and everyone else with their imaginative retell ing of Burt Dow, Deep Water Man . For this season, they have de veloped a program that celebrates two of Maine’s most beloved children’s book authors and illustrators. It is sure to charm chil dren of all ages — from Chebeague and from away. HALCYON STRING QUARTET SATURDAY, JULY 29, 4:00 P.M.

All performances will be held at the Chebeague Community Church, except as otherwise noted. Please remember that there is never an admission charge for MacBeth concerts which are funded by many to benefit the community at large. QUESTIONS? Contact Carl Tubbesing at carldt@gwi.net.

carry things like e-bikes or battery powered lawnmow ers. For questions on other prohibited cargo, please call our office. We welcome pets on our busses and ferries. Please remember they are required to have tickets, too! Also, please make sure dogs remain under control, on a leash and not on the seats on either the buses or the ferries. We’ve had some close calls with excited dogs nearly knocking over small children… not something anyone wants to happen! Our bus drivers and captains are expected to leave on schedule. Please plan accordingly to arrive with plenty of time for unloading and parking. Use caution when driving to the Stone Wharf, our parking lots and to the pier on Cousins Island. These are all very congested places with lots of pedestrians, children, and traffic. Once on the pier, please stand back from the ramp to allow disembarking passengers room to get by. The boat crew will load freight and call people with bicy cles down first.

Our annual member meeting will be held on Saturday, July 15th at the Chebeague Island Hall. Mailing to members will be completed by July 2nd. If you would like to become a member, please provide your name, address and the $40 per person mem bership fee to our of fice. If you would like to confirm your mem bership status, please call our office or stop by. We’re happy to help and answer ques tions!

This summer, CTC is excited to have our new ticket system up and running for the busy season! Tickets must be purchased in advance, either at our online store (www.ctcferry.org) or by calling our office. Our crew and office staff are happy to help answer any questions about purchasing tickets and would love to help people make it as easy as possible. Our summer boarding is in effect, so please have your ticket out and ready at the top of the ramp and wait for the crew to welcome you to board! Summer on Chebeague means Passengers AND Freight. When you have a large amount of freight or luggage, please either use Casco Bay Lines’ very con venient freight service (www.cascobaylines.com) or deliver your freight and passengers directly to the Cousins Island wharf in your own vehicle before park ing at the Route 1 lot and catching the bus. Our busses have extremely limited room for bicycles and freight, so the best way to make sure your stuff (and you!) will get to Chebeague is to drop it off on Cousins Island before parking at the Route 1 lot. Remember, DOT and USCG requirements restrict hazardous materials we can carry. Absolutely no gasoline or propane can be carried on either the bus or ferry . Batteries are strictly prohibited on the bus, meaning we can’t

We are excited to see everyone! We wish everyone a safe and happy summer!
