Holly Lane
On Friday, July 7th, piano impresario Joe Holt, the host of the Mainstay’s popular monthly First Friday programs, welcomes singer Holly Lane to share the stage with him. Holly and Joe have prepared an evening of songs with a Parisian-theme, a strong connection with her personal history.
Holly Lane was 10 years old when she fell in love with France on a trip abroad with her mother. Several trips later, in her early 20’s, she began working as a dancer in a Paris cabaret. Not long thereafter, she happened upon an open mic at a jazz club and tried her hand at singing. She soon found herself working steadily as a vocalist in the city’s jazz clubs. After an exciting career in Paris she returned to her home in Rehoboth, Delaware in 2001 and became the vocalist for the group “Shore Jazz”, and worked at the local clubs 4-5 nights/week. In recent years, she has taken a weekly residency on Thursday nights at Café Azafran, in Rehoboth. These days, you need to make a reservation weeks in advance if you want to see her. Rounding out Joe’s guest list for the evening will be Shore Jazz members John Ewart and Mike McShane.
Tickets are $20 in advance of the show and can be purchased online at mainstayrockhall.org. Phone reservations are accepted by calling (410) 639-9133 (tickets reserved by phone are $25 when paid at the door). The Mainstay is located at 5753 N Main Street in Rock Hall.
“With challenges ranging from getting lost in a book to volunteering at a non-profit organization to participating in a YMCA group exercise class, everyone can find something fun and interesting to do,” said Robbie Gill, YMCA of the Chesapeake CEO. “Ys across the Shore are committed to finding ways to keep our community active and limit screen time all summer long.”
The Mahler, conducted by NMF’s Artistic Director, Richard Rosenberg, is a spectacle to behold. In typical maximalist fashion, the work calls for the Festival’s entire musical personnel, including mentors and even a few arts administrators. In addition to double the standard number of wind instruments and many, many strings, the piece has a few other unique instrumental elements, such as the inclusion of mandolin and guitar in the fourth movement. This massive collaboration for the five-movement symphonic work has been an excellent opportunity for the Festival apprentices to learn from their teachers in the field. Its performance will blow you away with its power.
Topics taught during the training will include an overview of hospice, the process of dying, spiritual care and its place in hospice care, the stages of grief, effective communications techniques, family dynamics, stress management and self-care for caregivers.
