SUMMARY:Concord250: The Concord Chorus Winter Concert “Lift Up the Light”
DESCRIPTION:Tickets are now on sale for the Concord Chorus Winter Concert on December 14\, at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. This lively performance of seasonal pieces highlights the continued friendship of former enemies in recognition of the “Concord 250” celebration of the American Revolution. The concert will showcase beautiful music by British and American composers; the repertoire includes works by women\, people of different faiths\, and those with diverse styles. Music Director Kevin Leong has chosen pieces from several centuries to illustrate that the music is indeed still “heard around the world” and reflects the progress from a state of enmity to a centuries-long alliance with Britain. The rich program features music by Amy Beach\, William Byrd\, Harold Darke\, Katherine K. Davis\, Charles Ives\, Henry Purcell\, John Rutter\, Randall Thompson\, Ralph Vaughan Williams\, Virgil Thomson\, and Errollyn Wallen. Accompaniment is by Jonathan Wessler on organ\, and John Sullivan on piano.\n\n\nSaturday\, December 14 at 2:00PM & 5:00PM\nMiddlesex School Memorial Chapel\n1400 Lowell Road\, Concord\, MA 01742

SUMMARY:Concord Museum: Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents that Forged the Republic
DESCRIPTION:Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents that Forged the Republic \nConcord Museum Forum \nWednesday\, October 2 | 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. \nFree for Members | $10 Non-Members | Free Virtual \nRenowned presidential historian and Executive Director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon\, Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky\, joins us for a conversation on John Adams’ five year-battle to defend the presidency. 1797 wasn’t too different from 2024\, with pandemics\, battles over immigration and citizenship\, legislation to limit free speech\, foreign interference in national elections\, and contested election results. Dr. Chervinsky’s new book Making the Presidency is the authoritative account of the second president that shows how John Adams’ leadership and legacy defined the office and ensured the survival of the American republic. The ideas and legacy of John Adams’ presidency are ever resonant amid this pivotal election year. \n  \nTo commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution\, the Concord Museum will offer ongoing opportunities to gather as a community\, reflect on the founding of our nation\, and engage with the significance of our shared past for our present moment. Highlights will include three new special exhibitions\, a special speaker series\, a published catalog\, and expanded educational resources. Together\, these initiatives will showcase the incredible stories behind the eyewitness objects held at the Museum to illuminate the many different ways people experienced\, shaped\, and remembered the Revolution. \n
