SUMMARY:Book Chat on Poor Richard's Women by Nancy Rubin Stuart
DESCRIPTION:Behind any founding father are numerous founding mothers\, sisters\, and lovers. Benjamin Franklin had a large cast of women in his life\, most importantly his wife of 44 years\, Deborah Read Franklin. While frequently absent from the historical narrative due to their frequent time apart\, Deborah was an important witness to and active participant in the political workings of the early Revolution\, running the family businesses and raising a family in tumultuous times with her husband often away. 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$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: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:Coming to America: A Musical Journey
DESCRIPTION:Cary Lecture\nJonathan McPhee\, director of the Lexington Symphony\, will give a talk entitled “Coming to America: A Musical Journey”. It will include musical examples and interludes with the help of members of the orchestra. As he says in the introduction on our flyer\, he plans to introduce “great music during this period of reflection on the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution [that] illustrates the cultural richness immigrants have infused into our communities and society”. \nThe people of Lexington have always been the intended audience for our four free annual lectures\, and we’ve found that the Internet has brought us many visitors from neighboring towns. This is the second of two Cary Lectures in honor of the anniversary of the Battle of Lexington. The first was Professor Philip Deloria on October 5\, 2024 (“The Five Things Indians Say”)\, and the third will be the Honorable Stephen Breyer\, retired Justice of the Supreme Court\, on May 3\, 2025\, for which there will be a separate entry on this site.
