The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation proudly presents the Cape Ann Big Band in a New Year’s Concert as part of its Tenth Anniversary Series of concerts, silent movies, civic events and more! The historic Meetinghouse was built in 1806 for the first Universalist congregation in America, now the home of the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church, on the newly restored green at the corner of Middle and Church Streets (GPS 50 Middle Street).

The Cape Ann Big Band, conducted by Carlos Menezes, has connected with local musicians of all ages and backgrounds to inspire, challenge, and educate since 2010. CABB's repertoire always features vocal and instrumental standards from the “Golden era” of Swing, pop tunes, and as well as show-tunes derived from popular films.

Inspired by the sounds of Jazz, New Orleans’ street bands, Soul, and Rock n’ Roll, the band prides itself in a repertoire without horizons. Several talented upcoming High School performers will be featured with the Band for this special concert!

Join Us

The GMF Annual Fund is dedicated to raising the resources that are necessary to run the organization.  In 2026 the Meetinghouse will reach 220 years in service to Cape Ann, a miraculous survivor and centerpiece of the Historic District.  Our successful and ongoing mission is to preserve it as a cultural venue, civic hub and community gathering center. 

We are mostly volunteers but our paid executive assistant, Ashley Shedd, provides invaluable and efficient office support.  We also incur significant costs for building use, graphics, web hosting, marketing, advertising and other essential services.  This year we will be hiring additional professional staff for enhanced program growth, grant-writing, development, and planning for the upcoming Capital Campaign. 

Your generous contributions to the Annual Fund are central to facilitating our vision for a completely renovated and updated Meetinghouse, complementary to the new Sawyer Free Library and expanded Cape Ann Museum – an incomparable resource capable of hosting as many as 500 participants for community-focused forums, events and performances. 

Delivering on our great aspirations depends upon you.
