SUMMARY:Ensemble Eclectica Concert
DESCRIPTION:Ensemble Eclectica weaves together early music and jazz in a lively and light-hearted conversation of genres and styles\, finding that these divergent musical traditions have much more in common than we might think. From Thelonious Monk on the theorbo (a large ancient lute) to gentle Jazz scatt improvisation on songs from the Renaissance\, this innovative quartet (Peter Lehman\, theorbo & seven- string guitar; Rick McGlaughlin\, stand up bass; Fabio Pirozzolo\, percussion; and Louise Grasmere\, vocals) takes listeners on journey that spans centuries\, sparks surprising musical connections\, and creates a sound that is at once old\, new\, surprising and fun. \n  \nThis program is funded in part by a grant from the Harvard Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency. \n  \nSunday\, March 22\, 2026. 3:00pm-5:00pm\, $20 \nPurchase Tickets Here

SUMMARY:Save Our Schools: March for our Lives Charity Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:With the recent active shooter scare at UMass Lowell on 9/3/25\, the Evergreen High School shooting in Colorado on 9/10/25\, as well as number of other recent shooting incidents\, the local artist community is doing their part to make our community safer. While the UMass Lowell shooter on September 3\, 2026  turned out to be a hoax\, the fear that was created was very real. \nMarch for our Lives is a student-led organization founded by survivors of the Parkland\, Florida high school shootings in 2018. They lead demonstrations in support of gun control legislation and their mission is to end gun violence in our lifetime. They have championed gun violence prevention legislation at all levels of the government to save lives and create a better\, safer future. \nFollowing the horrific shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde\, March for our Lives led a protest in DC. Just a day after MFOL marched\, Senator Chris Murphy announced a bipartisan gun reform package with the support of 10 Republicans\, and just weeks later\, they successfully passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act\, the first federal gun safety law in nearly 30 years. \nA charity artwork silent auction and fundraising event run by local-artist\, Lisa Nelson will help raise money for March for our Lives. \nFor two weeks prior (3/7-3/21)\, display tables will be setup in the Fivesparks LOFT featuring artwork donated by a number of local professional artists along with silent auction sign-up sheets. Visitors can bid on these items throughout the 2-week period. Click here for a link to the Silent Auction event. \nAt the end of the two weeks\, a fundraising event will be held at Fivesparks on 3/21/26.  Entrance is free\, refreshments will be served and winning bids for the art silent auction will be announced around 7pm.  \nAll money raised will be donated to March for our Lives.
