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

SUMMARY:Adult Improv Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Improv is the act of making up a scene\, plot\, characters and dialogue spontaneously without preparation. Actors work together to create a scene\, often based off a suggestion from the audience\, without rehearsal or discussion beforehand. Studying improv involves a “retraining” of the brain to learn to work in the moment\, accept ideas from a team member and allow the creativity to flow and create something marvelous. Because improv is done “in the moment” it often takes a silly or wacky turn\, and there’s plenty of laughing! When you create improv scenes\, you never know where the mind will take you. This improvisation workshop is designed to challenge and inspire participants to stretch their brains and limits. A great class for both the seasoned performer and those new to the world of theatre who are looking to try it out. \n3 workshops will be held. One each in April\, May\, and June (4/20/2026\, 5/18/2026\, & 6/8/2026).  There is no fee for the workshops\, however registration is required. See below for registration link. \n \nThis class is being offered free of charge to participants through a generous grant from the Harvard Cultural Council\, a local agency\, which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency. \nREGISTER FOR ONE OR MORE SESSIONS HERE

SUMMARY:LECTURE: Caspar David Friedrich
DESCRIPTION:Caspar David Friedrich: Exemplar of Romantic Painting\nSpeaker: Kevin N. Moll \nHistorians generally use the term “Romanticism” to account for the artistic aspirations reflected in music\, painting\, and literature during the 1800s. Our concert halls still resound with the works of famous Romantic composers—Berlioz\, Mendelssohn\, Schumann\, Liszt\, and Wagner. Well-known Romantic writers include Lord Byron\, Victor Hugo\, George Sand\, and the Brontë sisters. But when it comes to Romantic painting\, most people draw a blank. \nThis talk will focus on one of the most important visual artists of the early 19th century: Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840). He was arguably the greatest German oil painter of the entire Romantic period — yet hardly anyone in this country knows his name\, and his works are rarely displayed in our museums. Through a slideshow of about 40 of his paintings\, we’ll explore how Friedrich brought the key ideas and feelings of Romanticism to life on canvas. \nThursday\, June 11\, at 7:00pm\nDonation: $10 \nPlease click HERE to register for Caspar David Fredrich: Exemplar of Romantic Painting \nKevin N. Moll is an emeritus professor of Musicology at East Carolina University\, where from 2002 to 2017 he served as director of the multi-disciplinary program in Medieval & Renaissance Studies. Dr. Moll has taught undergraduate and graduate music history courses across all chronological eras of Western Music\, as well as in American music and Jazz. In addition\, he taught a two-semester liberal arts course sequence in Medieval and Early Modern Studies\, as well as a course in film history for ECU’s Honors College. He is currently teaching in an adjunct capacity at New England Conservatory and serves as executive director of the Still River Chamber Music Society. As a performer\, Dr. Moll has been active for many years as double-bassist\, viola da gambist\, choral singer\, and director of various early-music ensembles. \nImage Credit: Caspar David Friedrich\, Two Men Contemplating the Moon\, ca. 1825-30\, Metropolitan Museum of Art.

SUMMARY:Music Masterclass (Performance Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:WHAT IS A MASTERCLASS? \nA music masterclass is a unique learning experience for musicians that combines performance\, critique\, and observation. \nPerformance: Musicians perform a work in progress in front of an audience. \nExpert Instruction: A highly skilled musician\, often a renowned performer or teacher\, leads the masterclass. \nTargeted Critique: After the performance\, the instructor critiques the musicians’ technique\, interpretation\, and stage presence\, offering guidance for improvement. \nLearning for All: The masterclass setting allows not just the performing student but also the audience (other musicians and sometimes the general public) to learn from the expert’s insights and the student’s performance. \nMusicians watching other musicians perform and being exposed to the instructor’s approach can be inspiring and informative. \nPerforming in front of an audience\, even with potential critique\, helps build confidence and stage presence.
