Maine’s Novel Jazz Septet brings the music of Duke Ellington to Boothbay Harbor. Band leader Barney Balch says the group will be “playing some of the best dance tunes written by Ellington,” and dancers and concert sitters alike are encouraged to come out tonight to celebrate 20 years of our reawakened Opera House. There will be more dance floor than usual, but also plenty of seating for those who wish to merely listen and dance in their seats. Advance tickets are $20. In celebration there will also be cake served for all! 86 Townsend Ave., Boothbay Harbor.
