Join us for a top rankin’ night of Bob Marley’s music with The Berklee College of Music Bob Marley Ensemble. The Ensemble, directed by Gloucester’s own professor of piano, Matt Jenson, is an immersion academic experience where students not only play arrangements of Marley's music but they learn about Marley's consciousness-raising, revolutionary life, which was dedicated to the liberation of destructive mind sets and the fight against injustice the world over. This 14 piece musical colossus is made up of top students from around the globe who pour their hearts and souls into this music that transcends all human boundaries, drenched in an absolutely POSITIVE VIBRATION! The 2hr performance includes Matt delivering occasional inspiring explanations and insights about Marley’s life further enhancing your experience. ONE GOOD THING ABOUT MUSIC, WHEN IT HITS, YOU FEEL NO PAIN!
HELP HURRICANE MELISSA RELIEF EFFORTS IN JAMAICA
Hurricane Melissa which pummeled Jamaica and Cuba, October 28-29/2025, was the largest hurricane to make landfall in the Atlantic basin and the third largest hurricane in human history. The recovery will take years and right now the inhabitants of Jamaica are struggling and need help.
Gloucester has a strong connection to Jamaica via the Smikle Education Foundation (based in Gloucester) with its original mission to support children in the May Pen area of the island, providing after school enrichment programs in academics, creative arts, sports, and social organizations (e.g. Girls Guide, Boys Scout, 4H, and the Humble Lion Community Club).
Hurricane Melissa’s large-scale devastation has stirred the Smikle Foundation along with the Humble Lion Community Club, to broaden their mission to start providing disaster relief and assistance in communities that were the most severely impacted. They are visiting communities to distribute care packages and assess how they can best help the most vulnerable to rebuild their lives.
The Foundation will have a table at the 12/5/25 Berklee Bob Marley Ensemble show where you can learn more about their relief efforts and make a contribution (tax deductible) if you so desire.
