the Wright Museum is a member-supported na- tional treasure located right here in New Hamp- shire. In the words of Senator Bob Dole, “The Wright Museum tells the story of [a] great national achievement, a story that, more than ever, today’s generation of Americans— and especially our young people—need to under- stand and appreciate.”

NHMF Pops Concert On Saturday, 24, the
NHMF presents a Tribute to Sinatra conducted by pops great Matt Catingub. As conductor of the Hono- lulu Symphony Pops, Mr. Catingub is a Grammy award winning composer for the music in the George Clooney film, Good Night and Good Luck. He also scored the arrangements and played tenor sax on the soundtrack. Mr. Cat- ingub is a musician of many talents: saxophon- ist, woodwind artist, con- ductor, pianist, vocalist, performer, director, com- poser and arranger. The youngest son of the great jazz vocalist Mavis Riv- ers, Catingub has fond memories of his youth. “I grew up literally around the Rat Pack. Frank Si- natra signed my mom to his Reprise record label. She was pregnant with me when she recorded her first album and Frank nick- named her ‘his swingin’ lady’ because of her musi- cal abilities. Having the opportunity to present the Sinatra show with the New Hampshire Music Festival is quite near and dear to my heart after having been around the man for much of my life.” Catingub has collaborated with artists such as Michael Feinstein, John Pizzarelli and the late Rosemary Clooney. For information about
single tickets or a season’s subscription, contact New Hampshire Music Festival by calling 603-279-3300 or by e-mail at info@nhmf. org or visit the www.nhmf. org website. Please join us on Facebook.
