Islander Meghan La Roque appears at Offshore Ale with Todd Martin on Thursday, March 31. Ms. LaRoque will tour the east coast to promote her new release, “Drunk In A Kiss.” In 2004 Ms. La Roque started her own record label, Rock You Records, and “Drunk In A Kiss” is the label’s first release. Music to welcome spring by The Performing Arts Center at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School will be filled next week with beautiful music played by Island students. The All-Island Orchestra Program will perform their annual spring concert on Tuesday, March 29 at 6:30 pm. The orchestra music program offers lessons in five elementary schools and the high school. Nancy Jephcote and Nancy Hawksbee use a modified Suzuki approach to introduce the children in the lower grades to their instruments. Mrs. Hawksbee will conduct the Junior High Orchestra with works including “Hall of the Mountain King” and “Pink Panther Theme.” The High School String Orchestra will also perform. On Thursday, March 31 at 7 pm, the Freshman and Mixed Choruses along with the high school Jazz Band will perform in concert. The varied selections range from Mozart to jazz standards to Disney. Both concerts are free; however, donations to support the music programs will be welcomed.
