SUMMARY:Voices on the Green: "Better Together"
DESCRIPTION:Voices on the Green\, First Parish in Lexington’s live storytelling and music series now in its seventh season\, is partnering with the Lexington 250 Celebrations Committee to present the first of four shows that celebrate the 250th anniversary of the conflict on Lexington’s green that is often considered the beginning of the war for independence. But prior to the flashpoint of April 19\, 1775\, the colonists in this town had realized that they were “better together.” \nIn today’s Lexington\, and throughout its history\, friendships\, marriages\, protest groups\, sports teams\, choruses\, fraternal organizations\, houses of worship\, twelve-step programs\, cultural affinity groups\, advocacy groups\, and governments all share the same commonality —they bring people together with the hope that more can be achieved together than alone. In the first of four shows celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Town of Lexington\, our production will focus on how we are “Better Together” as shown in both historic and contemporary Lexington. \nThe show\, featuring six storytellers and four musical performances\, is hosted by award-winning spoken word artist Regie O’Hare Gibson. And for each show\, Voices on the Green partners with a community organization carrying forward work that aligns with the performance theme. The community partner for this show is Lexington Lyceum Advocates\, who are focused on re-energizing the spirit and synergies that come from people gathering in common space to promote dialogue and advance justice in our town. Join us to enjoy an evening when we are all “Better Together.” Doors open at 6:30 pm. All are welcome. \nLearn more: www.voicesonthegreen.org

SUMMARY:The Will To Live Concert by Lexington Symphony
DESCRIPTION:Ives | Three Places in New England 1st Movement\n(The ‘St. Gaudens’ in Boston Common\, Col. Shaw\n& his Colored Regiment)\nNielsen | Symphony No. 4\nHolst | The Planets \nAll ages. \nWritten in 1916\, Nielsen said the word Inextinguishable sums up his Fourth Symphony – “the elemental will to live …. Music is Life. As soon as even a single note sounds in the air or through space\, it is the result of life and movement.” These three works exemplify the human spirit that was America in the Revolutionary War. The Ives is a very local Massachusetts story. The Nielsen and the Holst were written in the same year and were influenced by what was in the air in WWI – again\, humanity’s desire to live in Freedom from oppression and the forces of evil.
