SUMMARY:Musical Storytelling with Schumann Family Concert
DESCRIPTION:CCM Family Series!  “They belong only to us” was Clara Schumann’s response upon first listening to Robert Schumann’s Kindersezen\, “Scenes from Childhood”\, alluding to the tenderness of childhood remembrances and music as a shared experience. CCM piano faculty Kitty Cheung-Evans retells this 1838 work and prompts listeners to create their own stories in this participatory event. Movement titles such as “Dreaming” and “Of Distant Lands” inspire the imaginations of today’s youth and kindle affectionate sentiments of childhood for adults\, connecting all listeners with the art of musical interpretation. \nPurchase Tickets in advance or payable at the door for this event. ($10 General Admission and free for students 18 and under)

SUMMARY:Be a part of the Concord250 Monumental Remake!
DESCRIPTION:Concord 250: Monumental (Re)Make \n\nCelebrate the 250th birthday of the battles of Concord and Lexington by helping us recreate Daniel Chester French’s iconic statue The Minute Man through collaborative 3D printing! \n\n\n\n \nWhat is this?\nThe Workshop is collaborating with local artist and author Dr. Linda Booth Sweeney to reimagine and reproduce a scale model of Daniel Chester French’s iconic statue The Minute Man through a collaborative 3D printing process! There are two ways to participate: \n#1 Print a Part.\nMakers of all ages are invited to visit the Workshop any time during regular Open Maker Hours to 3D print a part (or several!) of The Minute Man! Just follow the instructions to reserve a 3D printer and ask for a design file when you arrive! The Minute Man is a great project for beginners\, but if you’re new to our machines\, we strongly recommend reviewing our instructional materials before your visit \n#2 Build Together.\nMakers of all ages can also attend one of our interactive building sessions throughout the year to learn more about The Minute Man and 3D modeling and printing from Workshop staff and local artist and author Dr. Linda Booth Sweeney\, while assembling the pieces printed by our neighbors! Find upcoming sessions on the Workshop Calendar! \nWhere will the final project be displayed?\nNo matter how you choose to participate\, all contributors will have the opportunity to add their name to our makers record to be displayed alongside the completed project at the Library in 2025. \nIsn’t that a lot of plastic?\nYes\, it is! As a Certified Sustainable Library\, we take the environmental impact of a project like this very seriously. All components of the (Re)Make will be composed of PLA\, a vegetable-based plastic. The Library has secured a speciality recycling vendor to process the statue and any waste materials in the event that the statue must be disposed of. \nMy school/company/non-profit organization has a 3D printer – can we help?\nYes! Just complete our (Re)Make Partnership Interest Form\, and our staff will be happy to reach out with more information. \n\nThe original 3D scan of The Minute Man was generously donated by Todd Taylor of Minuteman Pewter. \n\n\n \n

SUMMARY:One-Day Choir with Kenter Davies at the Armory
DESCRIPTION:Join friends and neighbors in this one of a kind collective choral event! Led and arranged by beloved NYC music leader Kenter Davies (who grew up in Sudbury!)\, we’ll explore harmony\, free our voices\, and build community through the song “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. There’s no auditions\, no experience necessary\, and no seeking of perfection\, We’ll just be making music for music-making’s sake! \nA timeless classic about the beauty of the natural world and the kindness we can afford one another as humans\, “What a Wonderful World” feels more important than ever to sing. We’ll explore a choral arrangement of the tune featuring lush\, jazzy harmonies. \nDuring our time together we will: \n○ Play singing games to activate our voices\, bodies\, and connection to one another \n○ Work through the song section by section\, infusing some musicality as we go \n○ Discuss the lyrics of the song and what meaning we can find in it \n○ Sing through the song a bunch and explore the different journeys it may take us on! \nA week prior to the event\, you’ll receive the sheet music and vocal demos arrangement of the song to use as a resource. You don’t have to be able to read sheet music\, you can absolutely learn by ear! We encourage folks to arrive familiar with the arrangement\, but there’s no pressure to learn everything in advance. We’ll fill in the gaps for one another as we explore and play along the way! \nWright Tavern Sing is a program sponsored by the Wright Tavern Legacy Trust. We bring communal music events to Concord that are accessible\, joyful\, and bring a sense of belonging and connection to the greater village. For more information\, go to www.wrighttavern.org/sing. \nKenter Davies is a vocal arranger\, music educator\, and choral facilitator based in Brooklyn\, New York. He dedicates his work to creating spaces where people can engage with music free from the pressure of perfection\, but full of complexity and joy. He highlights the journey over the destination and firmly believes in making music for music-making’s sake. \nKenter facilitates One Day Choirs and other music events with the NYC-based creative community\, Gaia Music Collective. He has led One-Day Choirs all across the country\, celebrating the magic that diversity brings to group song. \nGET YOUR TICKETS $10-$25
