SUMMARY:Madeleine Peyroux
DESCRIPTION:Support Act: The Carlile Family Band \n\n\n\nFor over three decades\, jazz virtuoso Peyroux has travelled the world and graced the grandest concert halls to do just that – “share the magic of music with audiences\, connect with people and uplift their spirits.” From entertaining passersby as a busker on the streets of Paris\, to captivating thousands on sold out world tours – singular Peyroux has channeled the power of music to bring people together\, dialogue with audiences and build a community. \n\n\n\nPeyroux was spotted by Atlantic’s A&R man Yves Beauvais\, and in 1996 her debut album Dreamland was born. The striking vocalist gained instant recognition as a classic talent with an unmistakable staying power\, and her smokey-crooning voice was likened to Billie Holliday and Ella Fitzgerald.Dreamland delivered sweeping renditions of Fats Waller’s I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter\, Bessie Smith’s Lovesick Blues\, Billie Holiday’s Gettin’ Some Fun Out of Life\, Patsy Cline’s Walking After Midnight\, and Piaf’s romantic La Vie En Rose\, all delivered by some of the finest musicians around including Cyrus Chestnut\, Greg Cohen\, Vernon Reid\, James Carter and Leon Parker to name but a few. \n\n\n\nBut it was Careless Love (Rounder)\, released eight years later that propelled her to jazz superstardom. Produced by multiple Grammy winner Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell\, Herbie Hancock\, Melody Gardot) it signaled the start of a long-lasting Klein-Peyroux collaboration that would craft several classic\, universally acclaimed albums. \n\n\n\n\nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Red Hot Chilli Pipers
DESCRIPTION:It’s Bagpipes. It’s Rock. It’s Bagrock. AC/DC meets the poet Robert Burns. \n\n\n\nIt’s The Red Hot Chilli PIPERS – (NOT the Peppers!) — a 9-piece ensemble consisting of pipers\, guitarists\, keyboards\, and drummers — who have been rocking the world from New York to Beijing to Melbourne and everywhere in between with musicianship of the highest order and a passion for pipes that will leave you breathless. \n\n\n\nSince they walked away with the top prize on the primetime TV talent show\, “When Will I Be Famous” in the U.K. in 2007\, the Red Hot Chilli Pipers haven’t stopped for a breath\, other than to inflate their bagpipes! Formed in 2002\, The Chillis have fast become a global phenomenon\, taking their signature ‘Bagrock’ sound to the masses with their unique fusion of rocked up Bagpipes and clever covers of popular songs from all genres. Their trademarked sound is a unique fusion of traditional pipe tunes – like “The Flowers of Scotland”\, “The Hills of Argyll”\, and “Amazing Grace” (done Chilli-style\, of course!) — and contemporary anthems like Queen’s “We Will Rock You”\, “Clocks” by Coldplay\, “Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol\, “Let Me Entertain You” by Robbie Williams\, and a fantastic rock medley of “Deep Purple”\, “Smoke on the Water”\, and AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck”. \n\n\n\nGet Tickets: https://www.etix.com/ticket/p/53130865/red-hot-chilli-pipers-lexington-cary-memorial-hall

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.

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.

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.
