SUMMARY:Matsiko Choir Performance
DESCRIPTION:Come experience an inspiring performance by a group of talented young people from Liberia and Peru. Free and open to all ages. \nWhat is the Matsiko World Orphan Choir?\nSince 2008\, the Matsiko World Orphan Choir has brought together our world’s orphaned and vulnerable children to share their story of turning the pain of loss\, hunger\, and hopelessness into personal empowerment through music\, dance\, storytelling\, and the importance of a complete education to break the cycle of poverty. We believe every child has dignity and worth no matter their background. \nAll children are sponsored by caring individuals\, or sponsors\, who give $40 per month to pay for each child’s school tuition and fees from kindergarten through their nation’s highest university or vocational levels so they can become doctors\, lawyers\, teachers\, engineers\, or many other professions. \nMore info about the choir at www.matsiko.org.

Collectively\, they’ve performed with ensembles such as the Boston Ballet\, Boston Modern Orchestra Project\, the Sphinx Symphony\, and Castle of Our Skins. \nBPQ continues to collaborate across disciplines—partnering with visual artists\, dancers\, and composers—and remains committed to presenting meaningful\, inclusive performances that resonate with diverse communities.\nWant to stay in touch?

SUMMARY:Sing & Play with Newton Folk Music
DESCRIPTION:Join Newton Folk Music at the Newton Free Library to sing and play a wide range of folk music\, from traditional to contemporary\, in a low-key\, warm\, and friendly environment. \nSingers and instrumentalists of all levels are welcome. Going around the circle\, everyone will have the chance to suggest a song—and usually to lead it. You can always pass\, of course\, and the organizers are here to help. \nPrinted songbooks with selected favorites will be provided for participants to use during the session\, or you can bring a tablet to reference an electronic version. Newton Folk Music also sometimes uses the book Rise Up Singing as a source\, especially for simple 3-chord tunes\, so bring that along if you have a copy. For less familiar or more complex songs not in our songbook\, the group likes to play from paper handouts. \nThis program is geared towards adults. If you have any questions\, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the organizers at events@newtonfolk.org.

SUMMARY:Zarzuela in Newton - A Hispanic Heritage Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Boston Opera & Zarzuela presents a classical lyric concert featuring solos and ensembles of the most well-known Zarzuelas of all time. \nZarzuela is a traditional Spanish musical genre that originated in the 17th century and has since evolved into a distinctive lyric form combining operatic\, theatrical\, and musical elements\, featuring a mix of sung and spoken parts. \nThe genre found its way to the Americas during the colonial period and subsequently experienced a notable expansion and adaptation. As Spanish culture took root in Latin America\, the genre merged with indigenous musical traditions\, creating a unique fusion that reflected the cultural diversity of the region. \nFeaturing international singers Alesandra Collins\, Michael Gonzalez\, Harry Otero\, and Lucia Panizza\, accompanied by Dr. Libor Dudas on the piano. \nAs a Hispanic led nonprofit organization\, it is part of Boston Opera & Zarzuela’s mission to share our musical heritage in Greater Boston. \nThis program is supported in part by a grant from the Newton Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency.

SUMMARY:Silent Movie Monday - "Snow White" (1916) with live harp-viola score
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate National Silent Movie Day with a showing of the vintage silent film “Snow White” (1916) at the nonprofit West Newton Cinema on Monday\, September 29 at 7 pm. The event boasts a magical live score accompaniment by harpist-composer Leslie McMichael and violist Barbara McMichael. Although there have been many film versions of this fairy tale\, this silent movie was the first and the silent picture actually inspired a teen Walt Disney to make his own animated feature decades later. Snow White is played by Marguerite Clark in one of her few surviving film performances from the silent film era. The runtime of the vintage film with live harp and viola accompaniment is 62 minutes. https://www.westnewtoncinema.com/movie/snow-white-1916
