This exclusive, after-hours experience offers expert insight and up-close access to Heritage’s outstanding antique and classic car collection. Featured Vehicles: This month’s program highlights the 1932 Auburn Boattail Speedster and the 1962 Chevrolet Corvette. We will take a closer look at the differences between these two attention-getting sports cars that were built 30 years apart. The program begins in the Elm parking lot, where Auto Collections Manager Jon Elmendorf will share information about featured vehicles from Heritage’s collection, highlighting different cars each month. Get a look under the hoods and have the rare opportunity to watch and listen as the featured cars are started up and taken on demonstration drives (weather permitting). Then go behind the scenes into Heritage’s auto storage area and maintenance garage with Jon as he shares more insider insights. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts, ask questions, and hear directly from members of Heritage’s Auto Committee about what it takes to maintain this extraordinary collection ─ all in an engaging, relaxed setting. If you’d like, arrive early to explore the Automobile Gallery exhibition From Carriage to Classic: How Automobiles Transformed America. Those who are not members of Heritage can take advantage of a discounted rate by combining this program with admission to all of Heritage for a savings of $8 for adults and $5 for youth!

Cape Cod Maritime Museum

Step aboard the Schooner Hindu and journey through nearly a century of maritime history. This 1925 gaff-rigged schooner has carried generations of Provincetown locals and visitors through the harbor, witnessing the evolution of the town from a bustling fishing and whaling hub to a modern tourist destination.
Explore the Hindu’s fascinating story: built as a pleasure craft in Maine, converted to a cargo vessel during the Depression, requisitioned by the Navy in World War II, and restored with care to sail again today. Discover the challenges and triumphs of her extensive restoration, the craftsmanship of wooden schooners, and the traditions of classic sailing that the Hindu embodies. Through historic photographs, personal stories, and behind-the-scenes insights from the restoration process, attendees will learn how this beloved vessel has become a living link to Cape Cod’s maritime past.

Hyannis Sound is a premier 10-member professional a cappella group based in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Since our founding in 1994, Hyannis Sound has upheld a unique and cherished tradition: every summer, 10 talented, college-aged vocalists from across the United States come together to curate extraordinary music and unforgettable lasting memories. Our members represent a diverse range of states—including California, Utah, Indiana, North Carolina, Virginia, and, of course, the New England region—reflecting the nationwide reach and appeal of our ensemble. Each year during the first week of August, Hyannis Sound puts on an Alumni show, where many alumni across three decades of vocal music return to Cape Cod to put on the incredible, unique, and multi-generational show of the summer! This year's alumni show features not only the current members of Hyannis Sound, but also members of Hyannis Sound from 5 summers ago, Hyannis Sound 2021! The members of 2021 were a special group, being the first group to return to performing after the COVID-19 pandemic, and also having gained millions of followers on TikTok and other social media platforms through viral videos. Hyannis Sound 2021 also had the legendary chance to duet with renown vocal superstar Alicia Keys, performing her hit song "Fallin". Please join us for this legendary night of music and fun!

The Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival will present a free community concert featuring the GRAMMY®-winning and four-time nominated Imani Winds. All are welcome, and no tickets are required.&nbsp;
Celebrating nearly three decades of transformative music-making, Imani Winds has led both a revolution and an evolution of the wind quintet. The first release from their Imani Winds Media, a record label spotlighting artists of color, Jeff Scott’s Passion for Bach and Coltrane won a GRAMMY® in 2024. They performed on the album with the Harlem Quartet, who will also appear at this year’s Festival.
Imani Winds is known for their dynamic playing, adventurous programming, imaginative collaborations, and impactful outreach. They’ve appeared at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Banff Centre, and Chautauqua Institution, and toured internationally, inspiring audiences of all ages around the globe. Gramophone praised the ensemble’s “hot rapport [that] churns with conviction throughout.”
Imani Winds will perform a wide range of exciting wind quintets from across the centuries, beginning with Felix Mendelssohn’s Scherzo from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. They’ll play Pacquito D’Rivera’s A Little Cuban Waltz, written for them and commissioned by the Imani Winds Foundation. The evening also includes Elliott Carter’s 1948 wind quintet, the late Lalo Schifrin’s La Nouvelle Orleans from 1987, and Shawn Okpebholo’s Rise, written in 2023. Imani Winds will make this fun summer evening sparkle.
