LexSeeHer's Annual Spinning Tableau
2024-08-31 15:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York)
On August 31, 1769, 45 women gathered at Anna Harrington’s home, using spinning wheels in an act of public protest just steps from the Town Commons. Learning to spin and making cloth locally was one way to resist King George’s taxation on imported cottons.
LexSeeHer organizes an annual reenactment of the protest to commemorate the 45 Lexington women who stepped outside with their spinning wheels help fortify a community where – just 6 years later – the first shots of the American Revolution would be fired.

Reenactment of the Marquis de Lafayette’s 1824 Lexington Visit
2024-09-02 13:00 - 14:00 | Lexington Battle Green, Lexington Battle Green, Lexington, MA, 02421, United States
In 1824, the people of Lexington awaited a major milestone: the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and the Revolutionary War. Also anticipating this occasion was one of the last surviving war heroes of that generation: General Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette. The celebrated soldier made one last visit back to the United States to tour the expanding country and celebrate its past. Now, join us on the 200th anniversary of Lafayette’s visit, on the original site, to see how Lexingtonians in the early 19th century welcomed celebrated war heroes! Using extensive research, we will recreate the original program of this event. The General will be welcomed by the townspeople with bells ringing and cannons firing, followed by presentations by notable townsfolk of the period.

To brush up on your Lafayette history, be sure to stop by Munroe Tavern to view The President & Le General, a special satellite of our Lexington Celebrates exhibition. Artifacts from Lafayette’s visit are on display, including the iconic banner hung over Massachusetts Avenue reading “Welcome, Friend of America.”

For more information, please visit the Lexington Historical Society website.
In case of rain, this event will be held in Battin Hall, Cary Memorial Building.

Captain Parker

Seen by many as the ultimate personification of a Yankee rebel and represented by a statue standing resolutely at the head of the Lexington Common, Captain John Parker was a New England farmer, smith, soldier, and colonial militia officer.
On April 19, 1775, Parker led the Lexington Militia in a skirmish with British regulars at the Battle of Lexington, where eight militia lost their lives in a successful delaying action against the British. While the militia lost the Battle of Lexington, Captain Parker’s actions of defiance gave inspiration to further acts of rebellion against the tyranny of King George during the American War for Independence.

Every year, Indian Americans of Lexington (IAL) puts on a Diwali event full of food, mehndi, multi-cultural performances, and of course a dance party for the audience to join in on the artistic expression.
This year with the 250 celebration approaching, Diwali feels even more important. Diwali is a time for Indians of all backgrounds to celebrate and commit ourselves to making choices that move us toward enlightenment and away from ignorance and vice. While the Indian community revels in its shared cultural history and experiences, our true sense of belonging comes from our willingness to care for each other despite our differences.
With belonging redefined in enlightened Diwali-inspired terms, this year we want to extend a special invitation to each of our fellow Lexington community members, regardless of background, to come and celebrate Diwali, 250 years of a America’s great multi-cultural experiment, and strengthen our bonds of belonging and cooperation as we head into November together.
Please join us at Cary Hall for a joyful dinner from Nirvana, learning, and making friends on October 19th from 4pm to 7:30pm.
Tickets are all-inclusive and are available here: https://www.indianamericansoflexington.org/tickets

Voices on the Green: "Better Together"
2024-11-22 18:30 - 20:00 | First Parish Church, 7 Harrington Road, Lexington, MA, 02421, United States
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.”
In 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.
The 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.

The Will To Live Concert by Lexington Symphony
2024-11-23 19:30 | Cary Hall, 1605 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington, MA, 44106, United States
Ives | Three Places in New England 1st Movement
(The ‘St. Gaudens’ in Boston Common, Col. Shaw
& his Colored Regiment)
Nielsen | Symphony No. 4
Holst | The Planets
All ages.
Written 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.

The Fight For Freedom Concert by Lexington Symphony
2025-02-15 19:30 | Cary Hall, 1605 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington, MA, 44106, United States
Hindemith | Mathis der Maler
Vaughan Williams | Sea Symphony
Aaron Engebreth, baritone
Michelle Trainor, soprano
New World Chorale
All ages
This 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.

The Cost Of Freedom Concert by Lexington Symphony
2025-03-15 19:30 | Cary Hall, 1605 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington, MA, 44106, United States
Still | In Memorium
Lidström | World Premiere
Mats Lidström, cello
Beethoven | Symphony No. 3 “Eroica”
All ages.
Composed in 1930, the Still work memorializes the forgotten black soldiers who died for our country during the Civil War. W.G. Still considered this piece an ode to the unfulfilled promise of true freedom for black Americans. We know that there were black patriots who fought in the Revolutionary War, seeking freedom for all Americans. In the Battle of Lexington, one of the most famous black patriots who died in the Battle of Lexington was Prince Estabrook. Cary Hall has the Estabrook Room, named in his memory. Mats Lidstrom’s composition focuses on a famous speech given by Robert F. Kennedy before he was assassinated during his bid for the American Presidency. The cost he paid for his beliefs is obvious. It is also a World Premiere. Beethoven’s Third Symphony was inspired by what began as the war to free the French from oppression, only to then go very wrong as its Hero, turned out to be completely self-interested. In the end, Beethoven’s belief in Mankind was his final focus in what became the “heroic” symphony.
