Nashua Community Concert’s Season Begins September 27Celtic Blaze on Monday, September 27
This group puts on an energetic, creative, theatrical, entertaining and motivating show that appeals to audiences of all ages. It reflects Canadian heritage through music and dance blended by Stephanie Cadman’s contem-porary, creative edge. Cadman, a world champion tap dancer with Bowfire and The StepCrew, has traveled throughout the world as a dancer and fiddle player. Joined by singing and fiddling sensation Miranda Mulholland, Celtic Blaze’s unique choreography and four-piece band invite you to a Celtic so-journ of dance and music.Barbra and Frank, Monday, October 11
In their hit Las Vegas show, “Barbra and Frank”, Sharon Owens as Barbra Streisand and Sebastian Anzaldo as Frank Sinatra showed that there must have been a rapport between these two 20th century icons. As good as the music in this show is, the banter between the stars is equally memorable. This “Concert That Never Was” includes segments in which Streisand and Sinatra create masterful duets of Somewhere, Something Stupid and New York, New York. A highlight of the show is a delicate blending of two of their signature songs as Sinatra croons verses from It Was A Very Good Year in-tertwined with Streisand’s memorable The Way We Were.The Great American Songbook, Tuesday, November 9
This Nashville-produced extravaganza features a stunning journey through a century of American music. It includes show-stopping perfor-mances by a dazzling cast of eight performers and a sizzling jazz trio along with creative sets, colorful costumes and clever choreography. Classics from Rodgers and Hammerstein, Harold Arlen and the Gershwins are revamped into dazzling production numbers and spine-tingling tap dance routines. A salute to Motown’s Temptations and The Supremes, as well as lush musi-cal arrangements of award-winning songs from Somewhere Over the Rain-bow, Route 66 and Bridge Over Troubled Waters, are included. Songs from today’s hit makers like Michael Buble, Ray Charles and Billy Joel round out the performance.
All concerts are at 8 PM at the Elm Street Middle School, 117 Elm Street, Nashua. Season subscriptions are still available by calling 888-9158. Fur-ther information can be found on our web site www.nashuacommunity concerts.org.

Art with Feeling: Touch, Look, Listen Exhibit
2 Pianos 4 Hands Opens Sept. 1st at Peterborough Players
PETERBOROuGH – The Peter-borough Players presents a New Hampshire premiere of 2 Pianos 4 Hands, a comedy by Richard Green-blatt and Ted Dykstra, September 1-12. This is a story full of laughs and plenty of onstage piano wizardry; a riotous tale of two Canadian boys who share the same goal of concert pianist stardom. They work fervent-ly toward their dream amidst pushy parents, eccentric teachers, hours of repetitive practice, stage fright, the agony of competitions, and the dream of greatness.
Playwright Dykstra says 2 Pianos 4 Hands is “about coming to terms with the dreams you had at one time
and realizing the gold-platter sce-nario may not happen – but you’re still you.” “We like celebrating who you really are and where you are in the world,” adds playwright Green-blatt. The actors/pianists in 2 Pianos 4 Hands portray a dazzling range of characters, embellished with a show of piano-playing prowess. The audi-ence is treated to a breadth of mu-sical styles as they travel with the characters along their journey. Rat-ed PG-13. September 1-12, Tues-Sat 8 p.m., Sun 4 p.m.
Tickets: $38, except Saturdays $40; Box Office: 924-7585 or On-line: www.peterboroughplayers.org

PETERBOROuGH - Juried Ex-hibit – Art with Feeling: Touch, Look, Listen – Opens September 3rd at Sharon Arts Downtown Gal-leries in Peterborough in partner-ship with the New Hampshire As-sociation for the Blind and New Hampshire Art Association. The groundbreaking exhibition contin-ues through October 30. The open-ing reception will be held on Friday, September 3rd, at 5pm.
Designed to remove barriers to ex-periencing art, especially for people who are blind or visually impaired and to raise awareness of the need for heightened accessibility to fine art in different locales statewide, Art with Feeling: Touch. Look. Listen. builds on the ground breaking ex-hibit, Art Beyond Sight© presented in April of 2009 by the New Hamp-shire Association for the Blind and New Hampshire Art Association. “This juried exhibition invites art-ists working in various mediums to create pieces of art with which view-
ers can interact in multi-sensory ways” says Sharon Arts Exhibition Gallery Manager, Camellia Sousa, “the exhibition allows enhanced ac-cessibility and encourages new au-diences to appreciate works of art in a way that has been largely unavail-able to them.”
A series of public programs, which are free and open to the public, begin with Educator’s Night on Thursday, September 16th, at 6pm. Storytime for Families will be held on Monday, October 4th, at 10:30am. Join Peter-borough Librarian Lisa Bearce for an interactive storytime. Conclud-ing the series of public programs is Music as Muse, which will be held on Saturday, October 16th. Visitors are invited to create art while listen-ing to live music.
Additional information on Art with Feeling: Touch, Look, Listen is available by calling Sharon Arts at 924-7676 and on the Center’s web-site at www.sharonarts.org.
KEENE - From carved serving bowls to ceremonial masks, art is interwoven into the African way of life, as shown in an exhibit to open Friday, September 3, through Sun-day, October 31, at the Thorne-Sa-gendorph Art Gallery at Keene State College.
Art of Africa: Objects from the Collection of Warren Robbins de-picts how life and art come togeth-er in African culture. The exhibit presents more than 60 objects in-cluding sculpture, textiles, beaded clothing, and jewelry, which broadly represent the creativity and diver-sity of artistic expression of nearly 30 cultures of sub-Saharan Africa. Accompanied by a video on African masks and dance, the exhibition il-lustrates the broader cultural con-text in which these art forms were created and used.
Robbins was founding director of the National Museum of African Art, now a branch of the Smithson-ian Institution. He discovered Afri-can art while serving in the Ameri-can Diplomatic Service in Germany and Austria from 1950 to 1960. Rob-bins visited an African art dealer’s
shop near Hamburg, where the Af-rican objects immediately captured his interest and imagination. He re-turned to the united States with a small collection of 32 objects, the beginnings of a collection that later grew to include 5,000 pieces. Rob-bins opened the Museum of African Art on Capitol Hill, the first muse-um in the u.S. devoted exclusively to the rich, creative heritage of Afri-ca. Its stated purpose was to “foster a deeper understanding of African culture, its history, its values, its cre-ative tradition,” and its relevance to lives of contemporary Americans.
The Art of Africa exhibit will be the focus of the Friends of the Thorne’s annual education program for area school children, scheduled for October 18-29.
The gallery’s new hours are: Sun-day to Wednesday, noon to 5 p.m.; Thursday and Friday, noon to 7 p.m.; and Saturday, noon to 8 p.m. It will be closed Monday, September 6, for Labor Day. The exhibits and edu-cation program are free and open to the public. For information, call 358-2720 or visit www.keene.edult-sag.
