SUMMARY:Whorl: Vertical Gallery Activation by Debra Fleury
DESCRIPTION:Whorl: Vertical Gallery Activation by Debra Fleury\nSeptember 23\, 2026 – February 26\, 2027 \nOpening Reception: Tuesday\, October 6\, 6 – 8 PM (RSVP appreciated)\nDrop-in Drawing Activity: during Free Family Day\, Saturday\, October 10\, 2 – 4 PM (registration appreciated) \nOur inaugural Vertical Gallery Activation features a multi-media installation from Massachusetts artist Debra Fleury. Influenced by the human experience\, Fleury’s work seeks to encourage exploration and evoke a sense of joy and wonder. \nTranslucent fabric has been painted in a watercolor effect and sewn together\, creating channels and undulating patterns that are then filled with wire. Through this process\, “a hidden internal world is made visible\, giving shape to what is deeply felt but not easily named.” The work’s suggestion of structure and mercurial nature constantly transforms the piece\, allowing for a range of viewing experiences. Fleury’s installation evokes a sense of curiosity in the viewer as they explore and experience the energy and evolution of her work in real time. \nThe Umbrella Arts Galleries are free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Menjunje/Amalgamation: An Exploration of Language and Identity by Shelly “Lola” Freund
DESCRIPTION:Menjunje/Amalgamation: An Exploration of Language and Identity by Shelly “Lola” Freund \nSeptember 23 – November 16\, 2026 in the Wedge Gallery \n  \nOpening Reception: Tuesday\, October 6\, 6 – 8 PM (RSVP appreciated) \nDrop-in Fingerpainting Activity: during Free Family Day\, Saturday\, October 10\, 2 – 4 PM (registration appreciated) \nArtist Talk: Friday\, October 23\, 5 – 6 PM – Artist Talk (RSVP appreciated) \n  \nArtist Shelly “Lola” Freund utilizes brightly colored renditions of her own fingerprints and objects reminiscent of family keepsakes to reflect on her multicultural identity. By using her own body as the subject of her work\, Freund asks us to consider how identity is categorized and interpreted in our modern world.   \n  \nFreund’s sweeping canvases feature vibrant pinks and blues that shimmer with the additions of rhinestones\, glitter\, and copper. As light bounces from one canvas to the next\, the viewer is taken on a journey through the artist’s own diasporic origins. Whorls of string create pathways\, as she weaves between English\, Spanish\, and Hebrew\, reflected amongst the titles. \n  \nFreund’s painted geographies ask us to engage with questions of multiculturalism\, social tensions\, and attempt to identify the line between assimilation and acculturation. \n  \nThe Umbrella Arts Galleries are free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Concord Conservatory or Music Presents: Music & Beer
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 2\, 2026\, 7:30 pm at 51 Walden \nWhat do a masterfully crafted brew and a brilliant piece of music have in common? More than you might think. \nPresented by Keith Kirchoff\, founder of Original Gravity and curator of the evening’s musical program\, and Allen Quinn\, brewer and co-owner of Armory’s Tomb\, this interactive event explores the fascinating connections between sound and taste. Together\, they will guide audiences through a series of carefully selected beer and music pairings\, sharing insights into the brewing process\, the artistry behind the music\, and how each enhances the other. \nFeaturing award-winning musicians Angel Valchinov\, Joseph Cracolici\, and Ai-Ying Chiu\, this immersive evening invites you to discover how rhythm\, texture\, tempo\, and tone can transform the way we experience flavor\, creating a multi-sensory journey unlike any other. \nAs you sample both throughout the night\, you’ll discover surprising connections between the art of brewing and the art of music-making. Like composers balancing melody\, harmony\, and rhythm\, brewers blend ingredients to create distinctive flavors\, textures\, and character. You may find that a bright\, lively beer complements the energy of a sparkling musical work\, while a darker\, richer brew enhances the depth and warmth of a more reflective piece. \nWhether you’re a craft beer enthusiast\, a music lover\, or simply curious about the connections between taste and sound\, this event offers a fresh and engaging way to experience chamber music. \n*Non-alcoholic beverages will also be available. \nCome sip\, listen\, compare\, discuss\, and discover the unexpected harmony between beer and music. \nPurchase tickets online ($50) *21+ Valid photo ID matching the ticket holder’s name will be required at the door for entry/tasting. \nNote: For groups of 8 or more wishing to sit together\, please contact Elaine at elawrence@concordconservatory.org. \nSpecial thanks to our featured brewery\, Armory’s Tomb!
