The Orchard Concert Series continues with a special Summer Solstice Concert to celebrate the annual astrological and spiritual marvel of the sun’s highest point in our skies.

Join the Portsmouth Brass Quintet for an entertaining juxtaposition of theatre and jazz. The quintet will pay tribute to the Broadway musicals Chicago and A Chorus Line, ahead of their fiftieth anniversaries. They will close the first half with a suite of music from Kurt Weill’s jazz-influenced Threepenny Opera. The second half will feature American jazz tunes from the early twentieth century. Selections will include 12th Street Rag, When the Saints Go Marching In, It Don’t Mean a Thing, and Ain’t Misbehavin’.
