Children's Entertainer to Perform at SS Conservatory Next Week

’s Evenings Under the Stars (EUS) concert series presents children’s favorite entertainer Vanessa Trien and the Jumping Monkeys on Wednesday, July 11, 10 a.m. in the Jane Carr Amphitheater at One Conservatory Drive, Hingham. 

This “fun for the whole family” concert is generously sponsored by The Curtis Family.

Singer/songwriter Trien has become Boston’s best kept secret amongst the young and young at heart, with her child-inspired songs. The “Nessa Groupies” sing and dance in the aisles at her packed shows with her lively band, the Jumping Monkeys, flock to her infant and toddler music education classes, and can’t get enough of her two award-winning children’s CDs, Carnival Day and Hot Air Balloon. 

Having played guitar and piano since she was six, Trien brings a lifetime of musicianship to her work with an acoustic-folk base.  While her lyrics appeal to the kindergarten crowd, her music is rich with layers of vibrant instrumentation – from bluegrass to blues to calypso – which is appealing to adults in the audience. 

Other Wednesday morning family concerts include an intergenerational sing-along with Jennie Mulqueen presenting Julie Andrews on July 18; musical storyteller Debbie and Friends on July 25; and Puppeteer Dan Butterworth on August 1. 

Tickets for EUS family concerts are $15 for adults and $5 for children.  Special packages are available for groups of 10 or more.   There is no charge for children under three.  Tickets may be purchased online at  www.sscmusic.org/evenings_under_the_stars.html.
