Edmund Bagnell, Singing Violinist, Brings New Solo Show To Provincetown, August 5

Producer Mark Cortale has announced that Edmund Bagnell, 1st Violinist & vocalist of the internationally acclaimed group Well-Strung, will bring his new solo show He Plays The Violin in Provincetown this summer the The Crown & Anchor's new outdoor waterside venue, from August 5 to September 2.

The show was the first project developed by New Works Provincetown at The Art House last fall and includes a brand new piece written for Mr. Bagnell by Scott Frankel (Grey Gardens & War Paint). Through stories and song, the evening directed by Michael Schiralli celebrates all things music, from classical to standards and from pop to Broadway, and of course with a good dose of fiddle thrown in.

This piece shows a different side of Edmund Bagnell in this personal and uplifting journey through music, and is written by Edmund Bagnell with Michael Schiralli, conceived by Mark Cortale, with Fred Jodry at the piano. To mark the collective moment that we find ourselves in today with a positive message, Mr. Bagnell recently released a new video performance of the song No One Is Alone, from Stephen Sondheim's Tony Award winning musical Into The Woods.

Edmund Bagnell in He Plays The Violin will play The Crown & Anchor in Provincetown, August 5 through September 2, on Wednesdays at 7:00 PM. For tickets and information, please visit onlyatthecrown.com or call 508-487-1430.
