SUMMARY:Schubert: Winterriese - Vocal and Piano Performance
DESCRIPTION:“I will sing you a cycle of horrifying songs…”\n—FRANZ SCHUBERT \nFranz Schubert’s Winterreise (Winter Journey) is arguably the most influential work for voice and piano of the 19th century. \nThroughout their performance of this cycle of 24 songs\, tenor Christopher Hossfeld and pianist Trevor Berens weave haunting\nmelodies into the story of a homeless stranger traversing a metaphorical winter landscape. Reeling from the horrors of a frozen heart in a frozen world\, the stranger bares his most interior and private thoughts in this deeply human psychological struggle of resilience in the face of rejection\, death\, and trauma. Schubert’s highly sensitive and prophetic music inspires profound empathy\, not only for the stranger and his plight\, but also for anyone today seeking safety\, community\, and belonging. More information can be learned at www.winterreise.net. \nThis program at Fivesparks will consist of a brief presentation about the works as well as translation of lyrics for everyone.   \nSunday\, October 26\, 2025. 4:00-5:30pm. $20.  \nPURCHASE TICKETS

SUMMARY:An Afternoon of Irish Music with Sarah Collins & Jonathan Vocke
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Collins and Jonathan Vocke bring a fresh take to Irish music\, pairing traditional fiddle melodies with old time two-fingered banjo. Drawing inspiration from the Celtic traditions that Sarah grew up with in the Boston area and the old-time and folk scene that Jonathan calls home in Baltimore\, the pair explores the space at the intersection of these musical styles. The music they create together is first and foremost about groove\, and plays with the balance of lightness\, sensitivity\, and grounding. The program of music will include Irish\, Scottish\, and Old Time tunes and songs\, featuring fiddle\, guitar\, and banjo. \nSarah grew up in Harvard\, graduating from Bromfield in 2010\, and is excited to return to town and share her music with family and friends. \nAll are welcome.  Tickets ($20) will be sold at the door via cash\, Venmo or Paypal.

SUMMARY:Music is Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Age-old practices of meditation\, such as Zen\, remain an effective means of promoting stress-reduction and attaining self-awareness. \nThis series\, entitled “Music is Meditation\,” will explore the possibilities of using “musical mantras” in the place of verbal ones in the practice of collective meditation. \nEach session will entail two 20-minute meditation periods\, each employing recurrent musical motives or tranquil meandering themes\, played on keyboard\, as a focus for inward centering. \nThe first meeting will begin with a brief introduction to the practice of collective meditation. \nParticipants should wear comfortable clothing\, and bring a small mat if intending to sit on the floor. Chairs will be provided. \nMusic is Meditation will meet weekly at 9:00am- 10:00am on Friday mornings for 4 sessions May 8 through June 5 (no session May 15)\nFee for the 4 class series is $50.\nClick HERE to Register for Music is Meditation
