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:Uncommon Gems - 02 Nov 2025
DESCRIPTION:“Pro Arte welcomes conductor Sarah Ioannides\, Music Director of Symphony Tacoma and Director of Orchestral Activities at Boston University\, for a concert of rarely heard works. Bela Bartok originally composed his striking Romanian Folk Dances as a suite for piano\, later arranging it for chamber orchestra to great effect. As the first woman organist in Sweden\, the composer and conductor Elfrida Andree was a musical pioneer. Her carefree Intermezzo\, extracted from an earlier symphony\, is a breath of fresh air. Aaron Copland’s expressive Duo features Pro Arte’s principal flutist Ann Bobo. In Francis Poulenc’s colorful Sinfonietta\, the French composer’s signature wit and charm are on full musical display.”
