Music Mavens at the Museum: Garden Party with Meg Groff and Ella Suchecki

  • Museum of Old Newbury 98 High Street Newburyport, MA, 01950 United States (map)

Maven: from the Yiddish meyvn, a maven is an expert, literally, one who understands.

Enjoy an evening of music in the Cushing House Garden with two members of the Museum of Old Newbury family, who also happen to be extraordinarily talented vocalists.

Meg Groff, best known for her sultry jazz vocals is the daughter of executive director Bethany Groff Dorau. Ella Suchecki, a celebrated singer/songwriter, is also the visitor services assistant at the Museum. These two rising stars will fill the evening with song, with the support of the superb Chuck Walker Trio, for one night only before Ella leaves to complete her studies at Salve Regina University.

About the Museum Intern Program: Every year at the Museum of Old Newbury, we have talented, hard-working young people who join us, some for several years at a time. We receive partial funding for two interns. This year, we have six amazing students, from high-schoolers to graduate students, bringing energy and fun and baked goods to our busy office. Please consider a donation to support the interns at the Museum of Old Newbury, so we can keep these learning opportunities accessible to all.
