SUMMARY:Concord250: One-Day Choir with Kenter Davies at the Armory
DESCRIPTION:Join friends and neighbors in this one of a kind collective choral event! Led and arranged by beloved NYC music leader Kenter Davies (who grew up in Sudbury!)\, we’ll explore harmony\, free our voices\, and build community through the song “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. There’s no auditions\, no experience necessary\, and no seeking of perfection\, We’ll just be making music for music-making’s sake! \nA timeless classic about the beauty of the natural world and the kindness we can afford one another as humans\, “What a Wonderful World” feels more important than ever to sing. We’ll explore a choral arrangement of the tune featuring lush\, jazzy harmonies. \nDuring our time together we will: \n○ Play singing games to activate our voices\, bodies\, and connection to one another \n○ Work through the song section by section\, infusing some musicality as we go \n○ Discuss the lyrics of the song and what meaning we can find in it \n○ Sing through the song a bunch and explore the different journeys it may take us on! \nA week prior to the event\, you’ll receive the sheet music and vocal demos arrangement of the song to use as a resource. You don’t have to be able to read sheet music\, you can absolutely learn by ear! We encourage folks to arrive familiar with the arrangement\, but there’s no pressure to learn everything in advance. We’ll fill in the gaps for one another as we explore and play along the way! \nWright Tavern Sing is a program sponsored by the Wright Tavern Legacy Trust. We bring communal music events to Concord that are accessible\, joyful\, and bring a sense of belonging and connection to the greater village. For more information\, go to www.wrighttavern.org/sing. \nKenter Davies is a vocal arranger\, music educator\, and choral facilitator based in Brooklyn\, New York. He dedicates his work to creating spaces where people can engage with music free from the pressure of perfection\, but full of complexity and joy. He highlights the journey over the destination and firmly believes in making music for music-making’s sake. \nKenter facilitates One Day Choirs and other music events with the NYC-based creative community\, Gaia Music Collective. He has led One-Day Choirs all across the country\, celebrating the magic that diversity brings to group song. \nGET YOUR TICKETS $10-$25 \nAdd to calendar

SUMMARY:Concord250 Event: Where We Belong\, New England Premiere!
DESCRIPTION:For MA250 The Umbrella has programmed two events – a stage company production and an exhibit – to celebrate and amplify voices that have not historically been a part of the revolution story…which is in line with the celebration goals of the 250 plans. \nAn indigenous theatre-maker journeys across geographic borders\, personal history\, and Cultural legacies in search of a place to belong. \nIn 2015\, Mohegan theatre-maker Madeline Sayet traveled to England to pursue a PhD in Shakespeare\, echoing the path her ancestors took in the 1700’s and leading to a remarkable journey of self-discovery. This ground-breaking\, one-woman event weaves together humor\, searing insight\, and the timeless power of story-telling\, to explore the importance of honoring our roots and the universal quest for belonging/where we belong. \nFollowing its acclaimed tour\, developed in partnership with Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company in association with The Folger Shakespeare Library\, with performances at Seattle Rep\, Chicago’s Goodman Theatre\, New York’s Public Theater\, and more\, The Umbrella is proud to present the play’s New England Premiere in a new production. \nUmbrella Arts\, Black Box Theater \nBy Madeline Sayet\, Directed by Tara Moses \nRuns February 28- March 23\, 2025
