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:Snapology Winter Vacation Program: Science of Superpowers & Mega Machines Robotics
DESCRIPTION: Morning Session: Science of Superpowers\nBring your favorite superheroes to life while discovering the science behind their incredible powers!\nStudents will explore the fascinating world of forces\, energy\, and physics through hands-on building and fun experiments. They’ll design superhero models\, vehicles\, and accessories inspired by heroes like Superman\, Batman\, and Wonder Woman — all while learning about: \nFlight forces\, collisions\, and air pressure \nGravity\, friction\, and energy transfer \nScientific experimentation and problem-solving \nChildren will compare the “super” world to real-life science as they test\, experiment\, and think critically. It’s a super-powered way to make learning physics fun! \n Afternoon Session: Mega Machines Robotics\nIn the afternoon\, young engineers will take their skills to the next level with Mega Machines Robotics\, a machinery-focused program where creativity meets coding. Students will work in teams to design and program spectacular robotic vehicles using LEGO® robotics kits and Scratch-based coding. \nThrough exciting challenges\, they’ll learn how to: \nProgram and debug robotic models \nUtilize sensors\, gears\, motors\, and axles \nCollaborate effectively with partners \nFollow instructions and refine builds through iteration \nBy the end of the week\, students will not only have built amazing machines but also gained confidence in coding\, problem-solving\, and teamwork — all while having a blast! \nChildren can register for: \nMorning sessions only: Science of Superpowers\, ages 5-12\, 9am-12:00pm\, $200/participant.

SUMMARY:Free Demo! Building with Gingerbread: Tips & Tricks
DESCRIPTION:Just ahead of the first ever Fivesparks Gingerbread Showcase\, join us for BUILDING WITH GINGERBREAD: Tips & Tricks\nBuilding with gingerbread doesn’t have to be stressful!  Join us for a free demonstration of gingerbread construction tips and tricks from two local bakers with decades of experience. \nInstructors Judy Baumhover and Lyn Slade will share with you the disaster-averting tips they’ve learned over the years.  From major (start early!) to minor (tweezers are your friend)\, you’ll leave armed with lots of new techniques to help you avert disaster and enjoy the process.  \nGet inspiration for designing your entry for the Fivesparks Gingerbread Showcase (December 13 + 14) or come just to sharpen your skills and enjoy the show! \nOpen to adults and teens (kids 9-12 are welcome with an adult). \nInstructors: Judy Baumhover graduated at the top of her class from the Culinary Institute of America’s Baking & Pastry program and embarked upon a career of creating wedding cakes and truffles for private clients as well as various catering companies.  Lyn Slade is the former owner of Chef D’jour Ltd. Catering\, Charlotte‘s House B&B\, and Designs by Lyn Cookie Buffets. Now retired\, she continues to bake as a hobby. \nThese two friends are always happy to share their love and knowledge of the craft of baking. With just a little encouragement\, they’ll also tell us some of their always-entertaining near-disaster stories — moments that every baker can relate to! \nSaturday\, November 15\, 1-3pm.  This is a FREE event! No need to register.

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
