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. Joseph Palmer\, a member of the Massachusetts Committee of Safety\, sent the first urgent missive by messenger Israel or Isaac Bissell in the late morning of April 19\, 1775. Bissell rode to Connecticut and perhaps further. Recipients duplicated Palmer’s letter several times to carry the news far and wide. An online exhibition about the Alarm Letter can be viewed at https://bit.ly/3LNwFri. \nThe museum’s copy of the Lexington Alarm Letter will be displayed alongside a broadside from John Hancock\, issued on April 15\, 1775. The documents will be on view from April 7 – April 26\, 2025. \nThe museum is open 9 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday\, plus Saturday\, April 19 and 26\, 2025. \nMuseum website: https://www.srmml.org/

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.

SUMMARY:Book Chat on Poor Richard's Women by Nancy Rubin Stuart
DESCRIPTION:Behind any founding father are numerous founding mothers\, sisters\, and lovers.

Then\, as Franklin traveled the globe\, his social circle also expanded to include landladies and liaisons in London and Paris. Join us to discuss Nancy Rubin Stuart’s exploration of history’s forgotten heroines\, led by longtime Book Chat member Mary Keenan. \n  \n$10 members\, $15 nonmembers \nTickets:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/book-chat-on-poor-richards-women-by-nancy-rubin-stuart-tickets-1060405514439?aff=oddtdtcreator

SUMMARY:Alarmed In Lexington
DESCRIPTION:Step back in time to experience the anxious hours before the start of the American Revolution. It’s past midnight on April 19th\, 1775\, and Paul Revere has just left the home of Lexington’s minister\, Jonas Clarke\, with news of an impending British attack. This leaves the home’s occupants to take in the news and prepare for what is to come. In a series of three short plays by playwright Debbie Wiess\, see how John Hancock and Samuel Adams\, leaders of the Revolution\, Dorothy Quincy and Lydia Hancock\, John’s family\, and Jonas and Lucy Clarke\, town leaders\, process the impending crisis as they prepare for war in the very rooms in which these conversations took place two hundred and fifty years ago. \nThis program is funded in part by Kirkland and Shaw Plumbing and Heating\, and by a grant from the Lexington Council for the Arts\, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council\, a state agency. \n$20 members\, $25 nonmembers

SUMMARY:The Fight for Freedom Concert by Lexington Symphony
DESCRIPTION:Hindemith | Mathis der Maler\nVaughan Williams | Sea Symphony\nAaron Engebreth\, baritone\nMichelle Trainor\, soprano\nNew World Chorale \nThis program focuses on the fight. The Hindemith piece is built around Mathis the Painter’s Fight for Freedom in the 16th Century. One could say it was Hindemith’s thinly veiled protest against what the Nazis were doing in WW2. Hindemith based this work on the triptych painted by Mathias Grunewald in his struggle for artistic freedom in the 16th Century during the repressive policies of the Protestant Reformation. The parallel was all too easily recognized by the Nazis\, and Hindemith escaped to the USA with his life. Ralph Vaughan Williams selected verses from American poet\, Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass” for the first three movements and from his “Passage to India” for the last movement of his Sea Symphony. Whitman uses images of brave sailors exploring the vast oceans as a colorful metaphor for the voyage through life of the human soul.

SUMMARY:Curator’s Tour of Lexington Celebrates! Parades\, Pageants\, & Pandemonium
DESCRIPTION:The 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War is right around the corner. How will we celebrate it? Whose stories will get told\, and how patriotic will we feel in troubled times? These questions have plagued every commemoration since 1875. From massive parades to frozen dinners and political protesters\, April 19th commemorations have been elaborate\, joyous\, and often completely chaotic. Join Lexington Historical Society curators for a special tour of our current exhibit\, Lexington Celebrates! Parades\, Pageants\, & Pandemonium\, to get an inside look at the anniversaries of ages past. Limit to 12 guests.
