SUMMARY:Music Mondays presents Aryaloka String Quartet "Cycles of Stillness and Change"
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome the Aryaloka String Quartet (Mark Latham and Beth Welty\, violins\, Noralee Walker\, viola\, Sandi-Jo Malmon\, cello) back to Music Mondays to perform a thoughtful new program of string quartet music by the early 20th century French composer Maurice Ravel and three living composers: Arvo Pärt\, Caroline Shaw\, and Philip Glass. Their program will consist of “Summa” by Pärt\, “Entr’acte” by Shaw\, three movements from “Mishima” by Glass\, and the first two movements of Ravel’s only string quartet. These four pieces may seem wildly different and yet they are united in their exploration of tone\, color\, sensuality\, repeated motives\, stillness and energy. \nPlease join us in person at the Scandinavian Center\, 206 Waltham Street\, Newton\, or on Zoom at:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81963239351…\nMeeting ID: 819 6323 9351\nPasscode: mm2026 \nAs usual\, admission is free\, but donations are appreciated\, all of which will go directly to the musicians.

SUMMARY:Newton Family Singers Presents Music of R.E.M. and the Indigo Girls!
DESCRIPTION:This season we’re celebrating the music of R.E.M. and Indigo Girls\, two decade-defining bands who came out of Athens\, Georgia. \nFun fact about Indigo Girls and R.E.M.: the trajectory of the Indigo Girls’ career mimics the path carved by R.E.M.\, often passing through the exact same physical spaces. Both bands’ spiritual home became the Athens clubs. The 40 Watt Club stands out as the central hub of their shared history. Even decades later\, in December 2022\, the Indigo Girls returned to the 40 Watt to perform at the 40th Anniversary celebration of R.E.M.’s Chronic Town EP\, cementing the venue as a historical monument to their shared lineage.
