SUMMARY:Spring Birding at Lower Vine Brook
DESCRIPTION:Lower Vine Brook can be a fantastic area to see warblers\, beautiful small tropical birds that migrate north at this time of year. They will eventually reach the forests of northern New England and Canada to breed\, but if the weather and foliage are right\, you may see a dozen species here in a single morning. Dress for the weather (boots if it’s wet) and bring binoculars and a bird ID book\, or app. Children with adults are welcome. No dogs\, please. \nMeet at the entrance to Lower Vine Brook conservation area opposite 93 Vine St. \nRain or lightning will cancel the event; if conditions are uncertain\, please call the walk leader. \nLeader: Harry West – 617-461-9500\, hwest2020@gmail.com\n

SUMMARY:Cantemus Presents "I Hear America Singing"
DESCRIPTION:Cantemus Chamber Chorus\, with 41 members from across the North Shore\, will present two May concerts in Beverly and Newburyport titled “I Hear America Singing.”  The Chorus includes two choral interns from Lexington High School\,  Medha Jayendran and Chris Yoo\, as well as Lexington High School’s Director of Choruses\, Jason Iannuzzi\, Cantemus’s Artistic Director. \nFeaturing African-American Spirituals and music by Charles Ives\, Aaron Copland\, Rosephanye Powell\, Charlene Archibeque\, Cecil Effinger\, Bob Dylan\, and more\, texts for “I Hear America Singing” are by American poets Walt Whitman\, Emily Dickinson\, Langston Hughes\, and others. \nThe concerts will explore what it means to be American – the American Landscape\, the American Dream\, Songs of Protest\, Songs of the American Diaspora\, Songs on American Poetry\, and finally ask: The American Dream Restored? \nJoining the Chorus will be guitarist Chris Rubén-Winters and oboist Benjamin Fox.  Rubén-Winters draws from deep roots in jazz\, salsa\, and classical music\, and his playing has enriched performances of multiple Massachusetts choral groups.  Fox’s versatility and virtuosity have been showcased in a variety of venues\, from Carnegie Hall to Honolulu nightclubs.  He is the Principal Oboist of the Bangor Symphony Orchestra and holds the same position with the Marsh Chapel Collegium. \nIn addition\, Cantemus accompanist Jeffrey Mead will be joined by Cantemus singer and pianist Patricia Clark in Charles Ives’ “Variations on America.”  Solo work and ensembles will be featured throughout the varied program. \nThe concerts will take place in Beverly on Saturday\, May 10 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church\, 4 Ocean St.\, and in Newburyport on Sunday\, May 11 at 4:00 p.m. at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church\, 166 High St. \nCantemus’ Artistic Director Jason Iannuzzi said: “In fraught times\, music can be a healing balm. It can also provide a means for us to process difficult emotions. As we prepare this program offering varied perspectives on America\, we are reminded that the American Dream is not a guarantee\, but an ideal we must continually work together to preserve.” \nFor more information about the program and to purchase tickets\, visit www.cantemus.org/concerts.
