SUMMARY:2026 Mary Keane Chapel Summer Concert Series
DESCRIPTION:Mary Keane Chapel Summer Concert Series\nSunday\, August 16\, 2026\n4:00 pm Start\nAll concerts will be held in the Mary Keane Chapel\nEnfield Shaker Museum\n447 NH Route 4A\nEnfield\, NH 03748\nshakermuseum.org \nSuggested donation $15.00. All concert donations support the ongoing restoration of the organ. \nAll concerts will be followed by a reception in the Museum Herb Garden (weather permitting) or in the Great Stone Dwelling. \nBrass Quintet Recital\nNew London Brass Quintet\nThe New London Brass Quintet will present a program that blends traditional brass music with jazz influences and for this concert\, will include works for brass quintet and organ. \nThe ensemble features musicians Dan Wright\, has played principal trumpet with the NH Philharmonic Orchestra. Trumpeter Doug Dean\, a member of the Kearsarge Community Band and the Tall Granite Big Band. Ako Shiffer\, French horn\, performed in small ensemble\, chamber\, and orchestral groups in the Washington D.C area for 20 years Victoria Moore\, trombonist\, has prerformed with the Upper Valley Symphony Orchestra\, Upper Valley Community Band\, and Tall Granite Big Band. Dan Brown\, former Principal Tubist for the Baltimore Symphony and freelance musician in the Washington/Baltimore area. \nOrgan Restoration Update\nBob Waters and Richard Nickerson are continuing to address important restoration needs on the Casavant organ in the Museum’s Mary Keane Chapel. This fall and winter they removed and completely rebuilt the wind chest that receives and regulates the air pressure produced by the organ’s electric blower. This included replacing all the original leather work that controls the release of air to the organ pipes. In addition to maintaining the organ’s tuning\, they have been repairing coupling mechanisms that have failed. Unfortunately the Casavant company no longer makes certain replacement parts\, so some aspects of the restoration work requires creative problem solving. We are fortunate to have two craftsmen\, well versed in the intricacies of Casavant organ construction\, caring for this precious instrument. \nThank you for your support of their ongoing restoration work.

SUMMARY:Shaker Herb Garden Tour

Along the way\, Happy will share stories of how these herbs were cultivated and used by the Enfield Shakers\, as well as their practical uses in today’s gardens and homes. \nWith decades of experience as an herbalist\, educator\, and the visionary behind the Museum’s herb garden\, Happy brings each tour to life with engaging insights and a deep appreciation for the connections between people\, plants\, and history. The Museum’s herb garden features many of the same plants that were grown by the Shakers as part of their thriving herb and medicine enterprise. \nFridays at 11:00 a.m. \nTours are free with Museum admission and are open to visitors of all ages.
