You don’t have to travel all the way to New York City to hear some of your favorite Broadway tunes. This Saturday April 14, the Occasion Singers will be performing at the Marion Art Center at 7:30 pm. The group’s repertoire will feature a variety of popular show tunes including “For Good” from Wicked, “Don’t Rain on My Parade” from Funny Girl and “Seasons of Love” from Rent.
Under the direction of Cassandra Morgan, the group is comprised of singers Christopher Saulnier, Rui Moniz, Eric Bosworth, Melanie Hannack, Denise Bastos and Caroline Blais.
Two weeks later, on Saturday, April 28, the Dixie Diehards Dixieland Jazz Band will perform a Spring Cabaret at the center. The concert, which begins at 7:30 pm, will feature music that was popular during the 1950’s, including the street marches, ragtime, blues and gospel genres.
If you’re looking for a new art exhibit to check out, “Pastels” will open on Friday, April 27, with a reception beginning at 6:00 pm. The works of nine painters will be featured in the exhibit, all of whom are members of the Pastel Painters Society of Cape Cod, and will include a variety of different landscapes, portraits, still life and wildlife. This exhibit will run through June 5.
And if looking at all of this art has you feeling inspired, the Marion Art Center is offering a beginner’s Watercolor Class for adults. Led by artist Patricia White, students will learn various techniques during the eight-week course.
