All musicians are welcomed. No auditions are required.

SCB looks for members

In addition, the band is looking for a community volunteer with some speaking or announcing experience and a warm and friendly personality to introduce their programs and individual pieces. A script is furnished, but gentle banter with the audience and fill material when needed would be welcome.

The group’s concert location is at Hartness House at 30 Orchard St. in Springfield. Concerts begin in June.

March 3: ‘Borderline’ concert at Walker Farm

Weston Playhouse at Walker Farm presents two free public concerts of musical selections from Borderline, Weston’s 2018 New Musical Award Winner on Saturday, March 3 at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Weston Playhouse at Walker Farm at 705 Main St. in Weston.

Written and composed by Aryanna Garber and Benjamin Velez, the deeply personal and affecting musical challenges the stigma of Borderline Personality Disorder, through one remarkable young woman’s experience with the oft-misunderstood disease and her search for honest connections amidst a revolving door of therapists, medications and a former childhood chess champion. Weston Associate Artistic Director Michael Berresse will direct the project with Music Director Daniel Green and a Broadway cast.

To reserve your free general admission tickets, visit westonplayhouse.org.
