Book Chat on King Hancock with author Brooke Barbier
2025-01-07 19:00 | Munroe Tavern, 1332 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington, MA, 02420, United States
Much more than a signature, John Hancock is an often forgotten but indispensable force in the story of the American Revolution. A man of immense privilege, he nevertheless found connections across all levels of society and political affiliations. Working behind the scenes, he bridged divides as a moderate force in a tumultuous revolution in which many Americans felt left behind by more radical politicians. Join us to discuss Brooke Barbier’s new biography of Lexington’s most beloved Patriot and his political prowess, featuring an author Q&A followed by a group discussion!

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.

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.

Book Chat on the Revolutionary Samuel Adams by Stacy Schiff
2024-11-12 19:00 | Munroe Tavern, 1332 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington, MA, 02420, United States
The Revolution is coming! New for 2024-25, our Book Chat series will examine books and biographies that explore the people and legacy of the American Revolution – just in time for 250th anniversary celebrations.
Stacy Schiff’s latest book explores one of the most pivotal figures in the Battle of Lexington – who was not even from Lexington! When Paul Revere rode into town on the night of April 18th, 1775, his mission was to alert Adams and John Hancock – two of the most radical and well-connected revolutionaries in Massachusetts – that the British raid on military supplies in Concord may include their arrest for treason. The need for the leader of the Revolution to hide in a sleepy suburban town initiated a chain of events that would change American history forever. But how did a man from an affluent family become the fiery politician we know today, who orchestrated some of the most important events of the Revolution? Join us for a discussion on Schiff’s book and Adams’s life to find out!
Please note that due to construction at the Depot, Book Chats for the 2024-25 season will take place in the archives and Research Center at Munroe Tavern.

“Join or Die”: Film Screening and Discussion
2024-11-12 19:00 | Lexington Venue, 1794 Massachusetts Ave, Lexington, MA, 02140, United States
Join the Lexington Lyceum Advocates and The Lexington Observer for a screening of “Join or Die”, which follows the half-century story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam. The Bowling Alone author’s research into America’s decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy’s present crisis.
Flanked by influential fans and scholars – from Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to Eddie Glaude Jr., Raj Chetty, and Priya Parker – as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country, Putnam explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most important, what can we do about it?
After the film, we invite you to stay for a short, facilitated discussion. Proceeds will support future civic events like this and the Lexington Venue.
If your organization is interested in joining as a co-sponsor and getting the message out about building community in Lexington, please let us know at events@lexlyceum.org!

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.
