Cape Ann Big Band

Friday, September 10th, 2021, 6:00pm, with food service by The Causeway

This diverse 17-piece big band entertains and delights audiences with danceable music infused with jazz, swing, New Orleans street bands, soul, and rock n’ roll that will bring you back in time. Known for operating like a family, Cape Ann Big Band prides itself with having a repertoire that has no boundaries. Their program includes such classics as “Mack the Knife,” “I’ve Got You Under my Skin,” and “Take the A Train.”

U.S. Congressman Seth Moulton

We are going to donate all the proceeds from your free-will donations to the resettlement of Afghan refugees in Massachusetts instead of to the ongoing Meetinghouse preservation. The need is great and as good citizens we want to help these people who trusted in the USA. The non-profit partner doing terrific work for the refugees is the International Institute of New England ( https://iine.org/ ) and speaking on their behalf at the 6:00pm greeting will be our Congressman, Seth Moulton!

Tonight’s non-profit organization

In the spirit of giving back to the community each concert is partnered with a Cape Ann non-profit organization. The public is invited to make a free-will donation (So if you can, please bring cash/check.) This week's organization is International Institute of New England.

About International Institute of New England

The International Institute of New England (IINE) is preparing to receive more than 500 humanitarian arrivals from Afghanistan in the next 12 months, including 150 individuals recently evacuated from Afghanistan. Many of these individuals will be resettled in Lowell and Greater Boston. A significant number of evacuees will not be immediately eligible for public assistance. These individuals will need case management, direct financial support, English language training, and more. Your support is urgently needed.

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.
