She is a poet\, song writer\, and vocalist. \nThe book will be available for purchase\, and is available through Amazon. \nFREE and open to the public.  URL:https://www.fivesparks.org/event/author-event-book-release-helen-batchelder-up-on-end-and-spinning/ LOCATION:Fivesparks CATEGORIES:speaking ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.fivesparks.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Batchelder.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Helen Batchelder":MAILTO:wordpainting@hotmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240616 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240624 DTSTAMP:20260501T081543 CREATED:20240210T152302Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240513T165129Z UID:10001964-1718496000-1719187199@www.fivesparks.org SUMMARY:7th Annual Harvard Music Festival DESCRIPTION:THE HARVARD MUSIC FESTIVAL\nThe Harvard Music Festival is a weeklong summer chamber music festival in historic Harvard\, Massachusetts\, with many events open to the public.  Participating professionally-bound  musicians work together in their small ensembles with daily coaching.  Mentored by coaches who are renowned musicians and teachers\, groups work to shape their music in the rehearsals\, coachings and masterclasses\, culminating in concerts for the community in local venues. \n\n\n  URL:https://www.fivesparks.org/event/7th-annual-harvard-music-festival/ LOCATION:Fivesparks CATEGORIES:music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.fivesparks.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-08-4.28.57-PM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240609T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240609T170000 DTSTAMP:20260501T081543 CREATED:20240606T152452Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240606T152452Z UID:10002140-1717945200-1717952400@www.fivesparks.org SUMMARY:ART RECEPTION - Inheritance: The Art of Sebastian Ambrus Kiss and Mercedes Lucia Kiss\, Father and Daughter in Dialogue.
