Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum Show Art TreasuresThe Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum (PMPM) is proud to announce that it will be exhibiting world renowned art treasures for public viewing at a special winter opening.
On Valentines Day/President’s Day weekend, The PMPM will open its doors to the public with free admission to view five paintings that are on loan from the Town of Provincetown Art Collection.
These incredible works of art are on loan and being exhibited for the first time since the closing of Provincetown Town Hall due to the current renovation project.
The exhibition features the 1915 masterpiece by Charles W. Hawthorne, “The Crew of the Philomena.” Other works on display are by artists Max Bohm, Frederick Judd Waugh, William Halsall and George Elmer Browne. Hawthorne established the Cape Cod School of Art in 1899 and taught hundreds of artists who traveled to Provincetown to study with him until his untimely death in 1930 at the age of 58. Bohm was Hawthorne’s teaching assistant. Call 508-487-1310 for more details. Be sure to put this event on your list of things to do on Cape Cod.

Jung-Ho Pak, Conductor
Phillipe Quint, Violin - Chorus pro Musica Women’s Voices
A musical and dramatic tribute to Mendelssohn on the 200th anniversary of his birth.
Program
Felix Mendelssohn
- Hebrides Overture, “Fingal’s Cave,” Op. 26
- Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in E minor, Op. 64
- A Midsummer Night’s Dream: A Dramatic Presentation
Inspired by the eerie echoes of waves in the sea caves of Scotland, Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture depicts the atmosphere of a natural cathedral – an overwhelming vastness punctuated by strange sounds and colors. The utmost elegance, wit and fluency of Mendelssohn’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in E Minor are passionately expressed by violinist and Grammy Award nominee, Philippe Quint. With its fairies, elves and magical spells, A Midsummer Night’s Dream captures the magical tone of the Shakespeare play. Talented choral singers from Chorus pro Musica and accomplished Shakespeare actors bring an authenticity to the stage. A celebration of the Mendelssohn bicentennial (b. 1809).
Guest Artist
From the moment he takes the stage, violinist and Grammy Award-nominee, Phillipe Quint, captivates audiences with his charismatic presence. Beyond his recognized star power, Mr. Quint is often lauded for a “poetic lyricism” in repertoire that ranges from Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms to the leading composers of our time.
Known for innovative programming and high quality performances, Chorus pro Musica has built a superb reputation as one of the great choruses of New England. The Women’s Chorus represents the organization’s 100 highly talented musicians.
