Live Music in Blue Hill

Hello from the Blue Hill Inn!

For a small, quiet village, Blue Hill has an amazing variety and quantity of live music.

This week for instance, the Kneisel Hall's music program includes, on Thursday, Aug. 9, and Saturday, Aug. 11, the Young Artist Concerts, and chamber music of Schubert, Brahms, Judith Weir, and Dvorak both Friday evening, Aug. 10, and again Sunday afternoon, Aug. 12. http://www.kneisel.org/

The George Stevens Academy jazz band is playing at the Marine Environmental Research Institute family festival Sunday, Aug. 12, about two blocks from the inn. http://meriresearch.org/aboutus/mcenter.html

On Monday, Aug. 13, at noon, Sebastian and Abigail Greene, vocal with piano, will perform at the public library, a very short walk from the inn.

Later on Monday, Flash in the Pans, the amazing local steel drum band, is playing a benefit for the Ark Animal Shelter Monday, Aug. 13 in the town park, which is right on Blue Hill Bay, a mere two blocks from the inn. The picture shows their "street dance" last week (which got rained out so we had to dance the night away in the local elementary school's gym, less than a block from the inn). http://www.peninsulapan.org/flashinthepan.html

Kneisel Hall is featuring a sonata concert on Weds., Aug. 15.

And by Friday, Perkinstock opens at the fairgrounds with bluegrass in an old-time festival that lasts all weekend. http://www.perkinstock.com/

More information about these can be found on line or from the inn. Just give a call.
