Celebration Kasschau Shell Memorial Concert Thursday June 14th 2018
Ridgewood Choral at the Kasschau Shell, June 14
The Ridgewood Choral, under the direction of Marjorie Vandervoort, will be on stage once again at the Kasschau Memorial Band Shell on Thursday, June 14, at 8:30 p.m. Four celebrations will be marked that evening: The Choral’s 90 years of Song and Service; Vandervoort’s 25 years as Music Director; Susan La Fever’s 10 years as pianist, and 60 years of Kasschau Shell performances “under the stars.” The Choral was instrumental in raising funds to build the shell and performed at the opening night concert 60 years ago on June 17, 1958.
The chorus will draw upon its extensive library of music to sing American folk songs, show tunes and songs to celebrate Flag Day. Several pieces will feature vocal or instrumental solos, duos and trios, including jazz alto saxophonist Isaac Ketter of Fair Lawn HS, the 2018 winner of the Florence Reinauer Memorial Music Award.
Bring your lawn chair and settle down for a breezy evening of summer music sponsored by Boiling Springs Savings Bank. The Kasschau Shell is located in Veterans Field behind the Ridgewood Public Library, on North Maple Avenue, Ridgewood. Rain site is George Washington Middle School at South Monroe and Washington Avenue. Taped rain site information (June – August) 201-444-1776 after 7 p.m.
