On Saturday June 25th the third concert of the Music of Tilghman Concert Series will start at 6:00PM. This free concert is sponsored by the Tilghman United Methodist Church (TUMC). The series celebrates our local artists, and this concert features the talented choral group “Heart and Music,” who will entertain the audience with a selection of Broadway and popular music from the 60’s. We’ll be grooving to the Beach Boys and Smoky Robinson, swinging and swaying to Martha and the Vandellas and the Mamas and the Papas, crooning with Simon and Garfunkel, and rocking with Nancy Sinatra. It’s a little bit of Motown, a slice of country, a splash of Broadway, a serving of harmonies, and a bundle of laughs all overflowing with an abundant amount of fun and talented performers and musicians.
The cool cast includes Gail Aveson, Jane Copple, Maureen Curtin, Marcia Gilliam, Beth Anne Langrell, Ed Langrell, Lisa Roth, Zack Schlag, Heather Scott, Joe Tyler and Karen Twigg,
Director Ed Langrell and music director, Ellen Barry Grunden created this successful show which debuted as a fundraiser for For All Seasons (FAS) and is now coming to Tilghman as part of a developing partnership between the TUMC and FAS. “The collaboration between TUMC and FAS on the concerts series has been a great benefit to the local community” says organizer Debra Brookhouser “ and has lead to new ways for us to work together.” FAS is a private, non-profit human services agency which offers outpatient mental health services and now FAS’s executive director Beth Anne Langrell is organizing a new program with TUMC’s Michael T. Flaherty Ph D. Working together they plan to create a base at TUMC from which to extend mental health, educational and anti-addiction services in the Bay Hundred Area. Flaherty a nationally recognized expert in addiction with more than 30 years experience in the prevention, intervention, treatment, research and policy development related to substance use, addiction and recovery is ideally suited to organize such an effort and he is working as a volunteer to launch a program that TUMC is calling “Healing Body, Mind and Spirit”.
This means that the June 25th concert is not only a celebration of our local musicians but also a celebration of the ways that music brings people together and the possibilities of collaboration.
This concert series is funded and organized by the Tilghman United Methodist Church and partially sponsored by the Friends of the Tilghman Watermen’s Museum and by the Talbot County Arts Council with funds provided by the Talbot County Council and the Towns of Easton, Oxford, and St. Michael.
