The Joe Carter – Jeff Fuller Brazilian Jazz Duo

Thursday, September 2 at 6 pm – The Joe Carter-Jeff Fuller Brazilian Jazz Duo

The Joe Carter Brazilian Jazz Duo celebrates the music of Brazil! Their repertoire features songs by Brazil’s classic composers, but they take things a step further by using their Jazz backgrounds to add Jazz improvisation into the tunes. Having performed internationally, Joe Carter has used these experiences to form a sound and style based in “Samba Jazz” – a style that combines the improvisational nature of North American Jazz with the lyrical and rhythmical aspects of Brazilian Bossa Nova, Samba, Choro, Baiao and MPB.

Last Woodbridge Unplugged Concert stars Flynn Carney

The Woodbridge Town Library and Town of Woodbridge are organizing outdoor acoustic concerts this spring and summer. The Woodbridge Unplugged concerts will be a fun, free and safe way for residents to come together, enjoy each other’s company and listen to local talent.

The final concert on June 24 features our youngest performer, Flynn Carney. Flynn Carney has been singing since before she could talk! Her parents, Brigid and Tim Carney, reflected that Flynn’s first instrument was her voice but soon after, a set of drums courtesy of her grandparents and drum lessons with her teacher, Gary Fiandra, when she was 5 years old. Flynn attends Hamden Hall’s Country Day School and was “Puck” in their fall “musical” of “Shakespeare’s Midsummer’s Night’s Dream” where her songwriting talents were lent to her director and Drama teacher, Karl Gasteyer. During the pandemic she picked up guitar. She is delighted to be performing in her “new” hometown of Woodbridge.

Bring lawn chairs, blankets, and snacks! Concerts will take place from 6 pm to 7 pm and be located on the north side of the library facing Newton Rd. Masks are recommended and we ask that everyone follow social distancing guidelines. No registration necessary.

Literature and Life: a Mark Schenker Lecture

Dr. Mark Schenker of Yale University will return to the library on Sunday, June 6 at 2:45 pm to discuss his approach to literature and how anyone who reads for personal enjoyment can gain insight into what makes literature art. And in the process, how we all can get more out of reading.

A string trio featuring Amity High School students and library volunteers Alice, Anna, and Nora Youtz will perform prior to the lecture.

This event is hosted by the Friends of the Library in memory of Barbara Rader, longtime member and a past president of the Friends. It will be held outside on library grounds, and refreshments will be served.

Please register. Rain date: Sunday, June 13.
