SUMMARY:Revolutionary Run
DESCRIPTION:In April 2026\, Patrick Atkinson\, a Scottish Rite Freemason from Delaware\, will lace up his running shoes and set out on a monumental journey\, running from Wilmington\, Delaware\, to Lexington\, Massachusetts. This isn’t just a physical test of endurance. It’s a fundraiser to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library\, and a tribute to the role many Freemasons played in the American Revolution\, 250 years ago. \nPatrick\, an experienced long-distance runner\, will run 333 miles over 8 days. His route will take him through many areas that witnessed historic events during the American Revolution. Patrick is undertaking this extraordinary journey\, running 50-60 miles a day\, to raise awareness about the museum\, to mark the events surrounding the founding of the United States and—most importantly—to connect with people\, history\, and Freemasons along the way. \nPatrick will end his journey by running through historic downtown Lexington and arriving at the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library at 12 PM on April 11.

SUMMARY:Concord Band Presents Jazz Vocalist Amanda Carr and a New Composition at Spring Pops
DESCRIPTION:Jazz singer Amanda Carr\, an audience favorite\, returns for the Concord Band’s annual Spring Pops concert on Saturday\, April 11\, 7:00 PM at the 51 Walden Performing Arts Center in Concord. The program features Ms. Carr and her fresh interpretations from the Great American Songbook and New York themed songs. The Band also will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence with composer Clare Grundman’s classic work\, Spirit of ’76. Another special highlight is Lilly’s Story\, the premiere of a unique composition inspired by a 12-year-old from Brockton\, named Lilly\, and her family. \nMs. Carr will perform Cheek to Cheek by Irving Berlin\, as well as Cole Porter’s Night and Day and Anything Goes.  Amanda also performs vocals on Billy Joel’s New York State of Mind\, and a song that Amanda wrote called Maybe.  With five jazz vocal recordings\, Ms. Carr continues to perform as a solo artist and guest host. A true collaborator\, Amanda Carr is a coach for vocal students while still writing and composing music. \nThe Concord Band collaborated with Sing Me A Story\, an organization that commissioned Boston Conservatory student composer\, Luciano Lopez-Parnetti\, to present Lilly’s Story\, a new composition that celebrates Lilly’s love of family\, food and music.  In her story\, Lilly imagines a world where differences are not questioned\, but embraced.  Lilly’s personal narrative is reflected in Lopez-Parnetti’s intriguing composition through a harmonically rich wall of sound\, punctuated rhythms and overlapping patterns.  A remarkable photo montage\, created by Lilly herself\, will be on display at the concert. The montage explores what it feels like when others make assumptions about her mixed identity\, and the challenges of not always feeling fully seen or understood. Both Lilly’s family and composer Lopez-Parnetti will attend the premiere performance. \nContinuing with the New York theme\, the Concord Band will evoke the vibrant and frenetic energy of New York City with Warren Barker’s New York: 1927\, together with selections from Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story.   \nThe Concord Band’s Spring Pops concert\, conducted by Music Director James O’Dell\, will be open seating at the 51 Walden Performing Arts Center in Concord\, 7:00 PM\, Saturday\, April 11th.  The audience is invited to enjoy complimentary refreshments in the lobby at intermission and after the concert.  Tickets are $25 for adults\, $10 for kids 12 and under\, and can be reserved at www.ticketstage.com/concordband
