SUMMARY:West Acton Village: A Historic Happy Hour Tour
DESCRIPTION:May 18th\, 2025 | 1:00 p.m. | 1 hour (approx.)\n\n\nStep inside historic homes and see and learn about many more as we tour West Acton! Once known simply as the “west part of town\,” in 1845\, the railroad arrived in this section of Acton\, transforming the sleepy hamlet into a vibrant village of new commerce and homes. Today\, it retains much of its 19th-century charm\, including charming storefronts\, workers’ cottages\, and storybook Victorians.\n\nJoin us for this unique experience to see historic homes\, inside and out\, and immerse yourself in culture and history. Offered one time only! Space is limited.\n\nThis is a guided walking “happy hour” tour\, no libations but a lot of fun packed into an hour! (Please note\, this is an approximate time; the tour may be slightly longer\, but Happy Hour and 15 Minutes doesn’t have the same ring…)\nMore info: https://histoury.org/historical-tour-calendar-and-tickets/

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.

SUMMARY:Book Chat on Friends Divided with author Gordon S. Wood
DESCRIPTION:One of the most iconic duos in Revolutionary history\, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson\, famously worked together through the Continental Congress before feuding for decades. Later\, they miraculously rekindled a fierce friendship before dying on the same day\, 50 years to the day of the Declaration of Independence’s signing. Their relationship allows us a unique look at how the American Revolution affected those of different social classes and ideologies\, and how such disparate ideas were able to exist side by side in the new Republic.\n\nIn our last Book Chat of this season\, join award-winning Revolutionary War historian Gordon S. Wood in an interactive discussion about these fascinating founding fathers.\n\nInterested in further Book Chats? We will also be discussing picks for next year – all are welcome to bring ideas on interesting Revolutionary books to read!\n\nThe last book chat of each series is always FREE\, but registration is required!
