SUMMARY:Cary Lecture Series: The Bittersweet History of Chocolate: What Makes Chocolate Good? with Carla D. Martin
DESCRIPTION:Carla D. Martin – November 21\, 2026 8 p.m. \n \nSocial anthropologist Dr. Carla D. Martin will trace the bittersweet history of chocolate — from Mayan temples\, to the Transatlantic Slave Trade\, to the rise of iconic brands like Hershey’s and Nestlé\, to grueling labor on cocoa farms today. For centuries\, the interests of U.S. and European chocolate makers have often diverged from those of cocoa farmers and producers. As she examines the cocoa-chocolate industry\, Martin highlights the often-conflicting goals that create gaps in social and environmental responsibility. Many artisanal chocolate makers today market the social values underlying their production. When it comes to chocolate\, good taste is paramount\, but how do we measure its social goodness\, and what value does this add for consumers? \nCarla D. Martin is Lecturer and Assistant Director of Undergraduate Studies in Harvard University’s Department of African and African American Studies and Founder and Board President of the nonprofit Institute for Cacao and Chocolate Research. She has published in numerous academic journals\, most recently on the ethics of labor in cocoa and chocolate. Martin has received awards for excellence in teaching and research\, and her public scholarship has been featured by the National Park Service\, Harvard Museums\, and National Public Radio. Her work brings her into community with workers at cocoa farms and chocolate factories worldwide. A chocolate tasting will follow the talk. \nAN ANNUAL SERIES OF FREE LECTURES IN LEXINGTON 2026-2027\nHosted by the Cary Lecture Committee: Monica Galizzi\, Rita Goldberg\, Meryl Loonin\, Kevin Oye\nCo-sponsored by Cary Library \nVisit carylectureseries.org for more details about our speakers and to sign up to receive reminders about our upcoming lectures. \n

SUMMARY:Oriana Consort Presents - There is Sweet Music: Choral expressions of comfort and connection
DESCRIPTION:The Oriana Consort is a small chorale based in Cambridge\, Massachusetts. \n“There is Sweet Music”\, a stanza from Tennyson’s lyric poem “The Lotos-Eaters”\, extols the power of music to engage\, calm\, and inspire — perhaps a worthy aspiration as we face the division and uncertainty of our current times. We explore this theme through a cappella choral works by Claude Debussy\, Ēriks Ešenvalds\, Daniel Gawthrop\, Robert Hobby\, Alice Parker\, Francis Poulenc\, Rosephanye Powell\, Salamone Rossi\, Camille Saint-Saens\, Heinrich Schütz\, Williametta Spencer\, Charles Villiers Stanford\, Randall Thompson\, and Ralph Vaughan Williams. \nThe group’s repertoire is eclectic\, ranging from the Renaissance through the twenty-first century.   Music of the Baroque era\, accompanied by instrumentalists from greater Boston’s extraordinary early music community\, forms a significant part of each program. \nThe Consort presents winter and spring programs each season in Cambridge\, Boston’s Back Bay\, and various Boston suburbs. \n

SUMMARY:Beacon Santa Telethon
DESCRIPTION:This December\, the students of WAVM — the student-run radio and television station at Maynard High School — will go on the air for the 48th Annual Beacon Santa Telethon\, a 40-hour live broadcast that raises money for local families in need during the holidays. We are writing in the hope that you will help us share this story with your audience. \nThe Telethon began in 1978 as a student-led radio marathon and has grown into one of the region’s longest-running holiday traditions. It is produced and hosted entirely by Maynard High School students\, who run the cameras\, staff the phones\, host the shows\, and manage the auction — around the clock. The broadcast airs on WAVM 91.7 FM\, on television Channels 8 and 28\, and streams online at wavm.org\, featuring live performances\, radio shows\, music\, competition segments\, and a live auction of donated items. \nEvery dollar raised goes to the Beacon Santa Fund\, which provides holiday assistance to families in Maynard and neighboring towns\, including Acton\, Bedford\, Billerica\, Boxborough\, Chelmsford\, Concord\, Lexington\, Lincoln\, Littleton\, and Westford. Last year\, the Telethon raised $45\,000\, and the Fund served more than 360 families and 830 children across those communities. Over its 48 years\, the Telethon has raised more than $1\,000\,000. \nWe would welcome your coverage in any form: a preview story\, a listing in your community calendar\, or a visit to our studio during the broadcast. Our students would be glad to be interviewed\, and we are happy to provide photos\, video\, and background information. \nThis year’s Telethon will air from Friday\, December 11 at 7 PM through Sunday\, December 13 at 11 AM. For more information\, visit telethon.wavm.org or contact Mike Basile\, Director of WAVM\, at (978) 897-5213. \nThank you for helping us spread the word about this community tradition. \n\nSincerely\,\nMike Basile\nDirector\, WAVM\nMaynard High School

SUMMARY:Floyd's Row to perform at Harmony on the Green on March 13th
DESCRIPTION:Harmony on the Green Coffeehouse Concerts welcomes the critically acclaimed and incredibly eclectic Floyd’s Row to our 5th season! \nFrom traditional English music to early music to Dylan tunes\, the eclectic Floyd’s Row performs a unique concert drawing from English tradition to create a new sound that is all their own. Founded in 2012 in Oxford\, UK by Chris Ferebee (mandolin\, guitar & cittern)\, Alistair Anderson (English concertina & Northumbrian pipes)\, Andrew Arceci (viola da gamba & double bass)\, Floyds Row has developed into a folk-classical collective\, pulling from early\, folk\, and classical idioms. What began as an Oxford-based project has blossomed into a touring ensemble on notable stages across the UK and U.S.\, with a critically appreciated album that merges chamber elegance with folk resonance. The name “Floyds Row” comes from a historic street in Oxford that runs beside the Faculty of Music of the University of Oxford. \nOur concerts are still just $25 (plus ticketing fees) and have\, as always\, a “pay what you can” feature so that everyone can enjoy live music!

SUMMARY:Cary Lecture Series: Why Women Won with Claudia Goldin
DESCRIPTION:Claudia Goldin – May 8\, 2027\, 8 p.m. \n \nProfessor Claudia Goldin was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Economics “for having advanced our understanding of women’s labor market outcomes.” She will explore how we moved from a world in which discrimination against women was not recognized as an issue\, women were routinely and legally fired when they married or became pregnant\, and they often couldn’t get a credit card or legally keep their name — to the world we live in now\, however imperfect. Women won workplace and reproductive rights fifty years ago. But why have women never achieved equality in the workplace and equity in their homes\, and how can they in a politically fractured nation?  \nClaudia Goldin is the Samuel W. Morris University Professor and the Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard University. An economic historian and labor economist\, her research covers topics including the female labor force\, the gender gap in earnings\, income inequality\, technological change\, education\, and immigration. Most of her groundbreaking research interprets the present through the lens of the past and explores the origins of current issues of concern. She has held numerous positions in economics\, holds many honorary degrees\, and is the author of a variety of books and articles. The subject of this talk\, Why Women Won\, will also be the title of her upcoming book.
