By sensitively and skillfully interweaving improvised trumpet and flamenco guitar with traditional mandinka kora and vocals from Senegal, FlamenKora creates timeless and enchanting multicultural music; a welcome balm in these troubled times. Volker Goetze’s evocative trumpet lines dance gracefully with the soulful vocals and kora of his newest duo partner, the esteemed master of traditional Mande music – Ali Boulo Santo Cissoko. Up-and-coming Rio de Janeiro and Madrid based flamenco guitar maestro Roberto Monteiro is the newest band member, adding authentic Spanish flair with driving rhythms and subtle, imaginative colors. As the group’s founder and producer, Goetze brings a special wisdom to FlamenKora, acquired not only through decades of devotion to West African Mande music, but also through a deep mastery of jazz composition and arrangement and a recent deep dive into the melodic and rhythmic traditions of flamenco. In 2025 FlamenKora spent June in residence at the Manship Artists Residency, developing new compositions and deepening the project’s fusion of flamenco, kora traditions, and jazz.

All Saints Episcopal Church

All Saints Episcopal Church of the North Shore is delighted to introduce The Rev. Ian J. Hamilton, newly called as Pastor, who begins his ministry with us in the most heartwarming way — by presiding over the beloved North Shore Blessing of the Animals. 
This joyful 23‑year community tradition takes place Saturday, October 3 from 1 to 3 PM on the front steps of All Saints, directly across from Danvers Town Hall, where neighbors, families, and their animal companions gather each year to honor the gentle spirit of St. Francis and to celebrate the creatures who share our lives. The event is rain or shine.
The Blessing of the Animals is free and open to all, welcoming every faith and no faith.
Whether you bring pets, photographs, collars, urns, children clutching favorite stuffies, or simply yourselves, you are warmly invited to greet our new pastor and share in an afternoon of gratitude, blessing, and connection.
For everyone’s comfort and safety, please bring pets leashed or in a carrier.
For animals unable to join us — because of illness, distance, or because they now walk in our hearts — prayer papers will be available to honor them.
Our animal companions bless us every day. On this day, we bless them in return.

Dueling Pianos is back. Bring your friends and have a ball. Dueling Pianos is a massive "to the top of your lungs" sing along with all your friends! Two grand pianos are center-stage with a team of outrageously talented pianists that seem to know every song ever written.
Each show is different because it's all request. And you or your friends might get called up onstage for a bit of good humored fun and some unforgettable you-tube moments. These shows are request oriented, interactive sing-a-longs wherein two piano players sit across from each other and trade songs. The dueling piano audience is used for the dueling aspect of the show. Audience members are pitted one-side-against-the-other. Examples of rivalries include country vs. rock, men against women, etc.
Dueling piano shows often take unexpected turns, like involving wait staff members, changing song lyrics or roasting popular audience members. There aren't many boundaries. It's one big sing-along party, swaying to the music and bellowing-out familiar lyrics. You're not just being entertained by the piano players - you are part of the show!
"Think YOU won't sing along? Just TRY not too.... I dare ya!"
