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.

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 \nAll ages \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:The Cost Of Freedom Concert by Lexington Symphony
DESCRIPTION:Still | In Memorium\nLidström | World Premiere\nMats Lidström\, cello\nBeethoven | Symphony No. 3 “Eroica” \nAll ages. \nComposed 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.
