ROCKPORT — Coastal Mountains Land Trust’s Arts on the Hill program brings Mondaynite Jazz Orchestra (aka MoJO) to Beech Hill Preserve on Monday, July 8, at 6 p.m., as part of the free summer concert series.

Mondaynite Jazz Orchestra is an extraordinary 18-piece Midcoast-based big band that plays modern as well as traditional jazz, including Latin, swing, blues, and funk. The band derives its name from their practice schedule: Monday nights, “and they certainly have their mojo workin’,” said CMLT, in a news release.

“Plan to bring a picnic, relax and enjoy the spectacular view…unless you’re up dancing to the beat,” said CMLT.

All Arts on the Hill performances are free and open to all ages but please leave your dogs at home.

Arts on the Hill is made by possible and presented by sponsors Bangor Savings Bank, Camden Coast Real Estate, Cold Mountain Builders, and First National Bank.
