SUMMARY:Concord Orchestra presents “The Heavenly Life”
DESCRIPTION:The orchestra\, conducted by Music Director Zeke Fetrow\, performs Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 with Ann Moss as soprano soloist. Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 is a comparatively short work\, lasting less than an hour. The final movement of the symphony is a song “The Heavenly Life” with orchestra accompaniment\, sung by a soprano. The words\, which come from German folk poetry\, are about a child’s naïve view of heaven. The preceding three movements lead up to this song. \nThere are many pleasant tunes and the cozy sound of sleigh bells\, but there are disquieting passages as\nwell. For example\, the second movement is a lively scherzo\, but the principal violin plays an eerie solo\nthat represents the devil’s fiddle. \nSoprano Ann Moss is an acclaimed recording artist\, chamber musician\, and champion of living\ncomposers. She has been a featured soloist with San Francisco Symphony\, SF Chamber Orchestra\, UC\nBerkeley Symphony\, SF Contemporary Music Players\, Music of Remembrance\, and the Ives\, Alexander\,\nLydian and Hausmann String Quartets. \nTickets for adults and seniors are $25. Admission for youth under 18 is free. For tickets and information\,\ncall 978-369-4967 or visit https://www.concordorchestra.com/heavenly-life.

SUMMARY:Friends of Pine Hawk: Tahattawan's World
DESCRIPTION:Who were the Indians who lived in the Acton area before the English arrived? It is widely understood that this band\, led by their sachem Tahattawan\, transferred Musketaquid/Concord to the English in the 1630s\, adopted Christianity\, settled down nearby at Nashobah/Littleton\, endured rough handling during King Philip’s War in the 1670s\, and then merged into the general diaspora of Christian Indians in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. \nLocal historian Brent Ranalli has undertaken a fresh\, close reading of the source documents from the seventeenth century for a new book project.  This talk presents some of his findings\, enhancing our understanding of the band and their story. \nPlease register at https://tinyurl.com/Ranalli-May14 \nPresented by the Friends of Pine Hawk with support from Acton Library and in partnership\nwith Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area during the Hidden Treasures Festival of Nature\, Culture\n& History.

SUMMARY:Acton COA Presents: Reminiscing Round Table: 20th Century Review 1980-1989 with Dawn Gomez
DESCRIPTION:Our journey continues and this month we will be discussing the 1980’s. Life in the United States during that decade had an undeniable sense of momentum. Many people enjoyed a booming economy\, rising consumer culture\, and the excitement of rapid technological change. Personal computers were  beginning to enter homes\, cable TV expanded entertainment options\, and pop culture thrived.  But the 80’s also carried serious challenges. Economic gains were uneven and many communities faced widening inequality. The AIDS crisis devastated countless lives. Even the cultural energy of the decade came with pressure—materialism\, intense competition\, and a sense that success was measured by consumption. The result is a time remembered as both vibrant and troubled\, full of innovation but also marked by deep social tensions. Come learn more and share your own family stories as well. Dawn Gomez\, Reminiscing Round Table Founder\, provides topic-based programs for seniors at assisted living and senior center communities.

SUMMARY:Acton COA Presents: Quaker Girl Takes Washington’s Center Stage: The Influence of Dolley Madison
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the country’s 250th by meeting one of its Founding Mothers! A quiet Quaker girl\, Dolley Madison transformed into one of America’s most fashionable\, gracious\, and powerful First Ladies. Discover how this patriot used her charm\, wit\, and resourcefulness to unite our country and influence it socially and politically. Although Dolley would cringe at the label\, she was an early feminist. The centerpiece of Washington’s high society\, she stepped softly outside of its social norms to introduce women into the politics of the day\, unite a divided Congress\, and earn the respect of the political\, military\, and social communities. Come learn the extraordinary story behind the life of one of America’s lesser known yet influential First Ladies. The elegant Mrs. Madison was\, by the way\, a snuff aficionado! Janet Parnes of Historical Portrayals by Lady J will portray Mrs. Madison. www.women-history.com \nOpen to out-of-towners age 60+ for $5
