SUMMARY:Learning\, Leaning\, Loving: Increasing Support & Ending Stigma Around Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:In 2013\, artist and entrepreneur\, JJ Long\, was diagnosed Bipolar 1 after having a string of manic episodes and delusions and was admitted into a psychiatric ward where he was put on mood stabilizers and antipsychotics to stop the mania. After being discharged from the hospital\, he remained on medication for over seven years and began his healing journey with the help of psychologists\, psychiatrists\, PCP\, coaches\, and supportive family and friends. On Dec. 31\, 2021\, JJ was finally able to successfully taper off medications and was medication-free for two and a half years with no manic episodes. During the summer of 2024\, however\, he endured another unexpected manic episode and was placed back in the psychiatric ward for three weeks. With many lessons learned\, JJ continues to move forward in his artistic and entrepreneurial career as he works to expand mental health awareness and advocacy with optimism born from experience. From first signs to situational episodes\, JJ will share his experience and thoughts about how to support loved ones\, how to advocate for yourself (and others)\, and ways to end the mental illness stigma by embracing love\, practicing kindness\, and increasing helpful support for all. Find out more about JJ Long and his art at www.jjartworks.com.

SUMMARY:Shakespeare’s Queens: A One-Woman Play WITH POORNIMA KIRBY
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare grew up under the reign of Elizabeth I—a mercurial\, intelligent\, and powerful queen—and her influence is written across many of Shakespeare’s finest female characters. Whether in his dangerous siren-queens like Lady Macbeth and Margaret\, in playful\, wayward leaders like Titania and Kate\, or redemptive characters like Hermione and Miranda\, Shakespeare seems fascinated by how each of these women wielded power and made choices. Should they speak their minds\, or keep to the shadows? Work together or stand alone? And where does their power lie: in tyranny or mercy? Wordplay or swordplay? Created and performed by Shakespearean actress Poornima Kirby\, this jewel of a play dances between Elizabeth’s story and Shakespeare’s own life as a writer and father to two strong-minded daughters. With history\, humor\, and sparkling poetry\, Shakespeare’s Queens is a heartfelt and refreshing exploration of some of the Bard’s loveliest verses. \nPoornima Kirby is a classically trained actress\, writer\, and director\, based in Concord\, MA\, specializing in classical and poetic texts\, as well as co-created theater. She studied drama at Vassar College and trained in acting and Shakespeare performance at Shakespeare & Co. and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. Her regional theater credits include “Sleep No More” with the A.R.T.\, “Hamlet” with Actors’ Shakespeare Project\, “Daughters of Venus” with Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater\, and “Much Ado about Nothing” with Bay Colony Shakespeare. She has also appeared in several independent films\, commercials\, industrials\, and voice-overs\, and has worked as a teaching artist in the Boston Public Schools and Tufts Medical Center. She is Artistic Director for Theatre of Eternal Values—America (a branch of an Italy-based international company)\, where she has written\, directed\, and performed in several original productions. She is also a cofounder of New Muse Productions\, where she has scripted or adapted one-hour\, two-person versions of King Lear and A Christmas Carol—sometimes playing 18 characters in a single performance. Shakespeare’s Queens is her first original solo production. She is passionate about bringing live theatre directly to audiences where they live\, work\, and play! Read more at: www.PoornimaKirby.com

SUMMARY:New Song Welcomes Singer-Songwriter Vance Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:The New Song Music Series welcomes beloved singer-songwriter Vance Gilbert on Saturday\, May 17. Join us for a memorable evening with one of folk music’s most engaging and celebrated performers. \nKnown for his genre-defying blend of folk\, jazz\, and soul—infused with sharp wit and masterful storytelling—Gilbert delivers performances that are equal parts humor\, heart\, and authenticity. \nHe has released 13 albums\, toured with acclaimed artists such as Shawn Colvin\, Arlo Guthrie\, and George Carlin\, and was even featured on a Grammy-nominated children’s album! \nThe Chicago Tribune praised his performance\, writing\, “Gilbert took the stage accompanied only by an acoustic guitar\, a whimsical sense of humor\, and an astonishingly smooth\, pure tenor voice.

SUMMARY:Harmonies of Majesty
DESCRIPTION:As radical and enlightened eighteenth-century politics and ideologies swept across the American Colonies\, songs and ballads such as “Yankee Doodle”— originally sung by British military officers as a way to mock the sad state of the colonists and their army—gained familiarity in the revolutionary era musical consciousness. Conversely\, in the private homes of colonial Loyalists and on the other side of the Atlantic at the court of King George III and Queen Charlotte\, musical taste was still clinging to more formal classical traditions. Through a curated selection of works\, this program of chamber music illuminates the rich tapestry of British music during a period of imperial challenge and transformation. Each composition offers a glimpse into the diverse musical expressions of the time amidst the challenges posed by the American colonies’ fight for independence.\n\nWith the talents of period instrument specialists from the Handel and Hayden Society\, Adriane Post (violin)\, Renée Hemsing (viola)\, and Guy Fishman (cello)\, journey back to a time when music echoed the hopes\, dreams\, and conflicts of those loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolution. This “Tory Story” invites you to experience history through the emotive musical power of Handel\, Haydn\, and Mozart\, the way that King George may have heard it\, and celebrate the richness of cultural expression and the transformative impact of music during one of history’s most defining moments.\n\n$20 members\, $25 nonmembers

SUMMARY:Lux Quartet CO-LED BY ALLISON MILLER & MYRA MELFORD WITH DAYNA STEPHENS & SCOTT COLLEY
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the life-giving power of light\, the Lux Quartet is an exploratory new quartet co-led by two of the most celebrated and visionary artists in modern improvised music: pianist Myra Melford and drummer Allison Miller. Drawing on a shared passion for the preservation of nature and a boundary-stretching approach to music\, the two innovative composers and bandleaders are joined by saxophonist Dayna Stephens and bassist Scott Colley\, together crafting a sonic environment that glows with its own intense\, yet nurturing\, radiance. Melford and Miller have long embraced the natural world in their individual work. Melford often combines her passion for the outdoors with poetic and philosophical imagery in bands like Snowy Egret\, Fire and Water\, or The Same River\, Twice. Miller’s captivating work\, Rivers in Our Veins\, is a multimedia journey into the cultural and ecological life of rivers. The two have worked together for several years in the drummer’s ensemble Boom Tic Boom\, a recent touring version of which also featured Stephens and Colley. Both musicians are renowned for incisive playing across the entirety of the jazz spectrum. The saxophonist has worked with Kenny Barron\, Ambrose Akinmusire\, Julian Lage\, and Gerald Clayton\, among others\, while Colley is a deeply respected bassist who has enjoyed extensive collaborations with Joshua Redman\, John Scofield\, Herbie Hancock\, and Chris Potter—to name a few. The quartet developed such profound chemistry that it evolved into its own singular entity. The name Lux Quartet was inspired by the role of light in the panoply of life on Earth\, from the vitality of the sun’s rays to the bioluminescence of creatures in the deepest oceans—a suggestive indication of the heights and depths that the band endeavors to explore.
