SUMMARY:Book Chat on Friends Divided with Historian Gordon Wood
DESCRIPTION:One of the most iconic duos in Revolutionary history\, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson famously worked together through the Continental Congress before feuding for decades. Later\, they miraculously rekindled a fierce friendship before dying on the same day\, 50 years to the day of the Declaration of Independence’s signing. Their relationship allows us a unique look at how the American Revolution affected those of different social classes and ideologies\, and how such disparate ideas were able to exist side by side in the new Republic. \nIn our last Book Chat of this season\, join award-winning Revolutionary War historian Gordon S. Wood in an interactive discussion about these fascinating founding fathers. Reading the book is never required\, but adds to the experience! \n  \nFree\, but registration is required!

SUMMARY:The Ukrainian Music Initiative Presents:  Introductions.  A musical celebration of Ukraine's vibrant classical music tradition!
DESCRIPTION:This is a not to be missed Ukrainian musical event in its first Boston-area performance! \nThe Ukrainian Music Initiative (UMI) was launched this past February to a standing room only audience at the historic Shevchenko Scientific Society in NYC. The exciting musical program is centered around two of UMI’s guiding principles: the sounding of Ukrainian voices and the interpersonal connections that music can build. \nThe live concert will include classic and contemporary songs by Ihor Sonevytsky\, Yakiv Stepovy\, Kryrylo Stestenko\, and Stefania Turkewich\, their settings of texts by Ivan Franko\, Oleksandr Oles’\, Lesia Ukrainka\, Mykola Voron\, and Vira Vovk. \nThe program will also include piano and cello pieces by Mykola Lysenko\, Valentyn Silvestrov and Andrii Didorenko\, a solo piano piece by Serhiy Bortkiewicz and Olga Zaitseva-Herz’s setting of Taras Shevchenko for voice\, cello and piano. \nConcert attendees will experience the wonder that is Ukrainian classical music! \nAbout UMI (www.ukrainianmusicinitiative.org)\nUMI\, a new musical celebration\, was created to elevate Ukrainian classical music to its rightful place in the Western canon and to fill a significant gap in the US’ cultural landscape. This is being accomplished by having skilled and knowledgeable musicians of Ukrainian heritage perform Ukrainian music in accessible venues on a regular basis.\nA collaboration of three independent artists\, UMI consists of NYC-based contralto Vira Slywotzky\, cellist Valeriya Sholokhova\, and pianist Pavlo Gintov. All of whom have a longstanding history of commitment to Ukrainian music and are sought after performers. Joining them in their mission are musicologist Leah Batstone and entrepreneur Alex Gamota. An educational series is also being developed. \nUMI is presented by Vira + Friends\, a non-profit corporation under the auspices of the Ukrainian American Educational Center of Boston\, a 501(c)(3).

SUMMARY:Lexington Alarm Letter on View
DESCRIPTION:Couriers delivered the news of the conflict at Lexington soon after the event. One of the letters that helped spread the news will be displayed at the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library in April.

Each community shares songs of their own choice\, then all will join as one massed choir in the singing of a beautiful choral anthem. \nThe Lexington Choral Festival was first held February 26\, 2006 at the First Baptist Church of Lexington. Minister of Music\, Dr. Robert Eaton invited Lexington choirs to participate in an afternoon of sharing their musical talents and worship cultures with others in the community. It featured performances by five area choirs\, a combined performance of “The Gift of Love” and audience participation. The event was so well received it was decided to make it an annual event with different houses of worship hosting the Festival each year. \nRip Jackson\nMinister of Music\nFirst Parish in Lexington\n7 Harrington Rd.\nLexington\, MA 02421\n781-862-8200 ext 4

Through her striking landscapes and abstract pieces\, she invites viewers to experience the dynamic energy and depth of her work. \nThe exhibition will be on view throughout April. For more details\, visit Galaray House. \nAbout the Artist\nChristina Chang’s art is deeply rooted in her multicultural heritage\, world travels\, and life experiences. Her father\, an architect from Shanghai\, instilled in her an appreciation for spatial design\, while her Italian-American mother\, an interior designer and artist\, shaped her understanding of form and detail. \nReceiving formal art training at age 13\, Chang went on to earn a BFA from Texas Christian University\, where she was awarded the Nordon Fine Art Scholarship\, and later completed a master’s degree at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). A formative period of study in Florence\, Italy\, further influenced her creative journey. \nChang creates bold\, colorful paintings that explore energy\, movement\, and emotion\, bridging the gap between abstraction and landscape. Her work invites viewers into immersive spaces of color and form\, drawing inspiration from both personal experiences and the natural world. \nIn addition to her studio practice\, Chang is a dedicated art educator\, inspiring high school students and leading weekend workshops and artist retreats to empower others to explore their artistic voice. She also offers private lessons and coaching\, helping fellow artists develop their skills and creative careers.

SUMMARY:Coming to America: with Jonathan McPhee
DESCRIPTION:The history of immigration to the United States has been complex and\, at times\, brutal. Our country has welcomed immigrants and\, at other times\, excluded certain people as the new American culture has developed. Today\, we often describe the United States as a melting pot\, but that has been contentious. The United States is a unique experiment. What is different about our country as opposed to others with a multicultural population? With the international common language of music as a guide to our history\, what can we discover about ourselves? \nLexington Symphony’s Music Director Jonathan McPhee has conducted orchestras all over the world from South America to Europe\, and China. What he brings to Lexington with the Lexington Symphony is great music that––during this period of reflection on the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution––illustrates the cultural richness immigrants have infused into our communities and society. \nAttendance is on a first-come basis.
