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.

Join us for a hands-on experience as we bake two breads perfect for cozy holiday mornings.In this class\, you’ll learn to make our beloved Apple Cider Donut Cake. Then\, dive into the art of enriched dough as we guide you through creating a beautiful Babka Loaf made with buttery brioche\, swirled with rich chocolate and cinnamon filling. \nWhether you’re a seasoned baker or a beginner\, this class will equip you with new techniques\, tips\, and a couple of decadent recipes to impress family and friends. By the end\, you’ll leave with two delicious baked goods\, ready to enjoy or share for the holiday season! \nThis class is BYOB – feel free to bring your favorite beer or bottle of wine\, especially if it would pair well with the baked goods. \nAbout Eva Badra: \nAfter studying biochemistry at Northeastern University\, Eva attended the French Culinary Institute in New York City.
