SUMMARY:(The )Magic(al) (Is/of )Here: Large-Scale Paintings of Local Flowers by Maggie Stanley
DESCRIPTION:April 3-30 in the Munroe Gallery at the Concord Main Library. See library website for daily hours. \nImmerse yourself in the beauty of local flowers as we await their blooming in later spring and summer. \nMost of the paintings in this show are based on photographs taken on walks throughout Concord\, including at Great Meadows\, the Buttrick Estate\, Concord Community Gardens\, the “wisteria house” across the street from the Main Library\, and even the Keyes Road municipal parking lot. \nMany of the works were created in 2024 for Flora(l) Portals\, my solo show in the skylit atrium of the Morse Institute Library in Natick\, MA. Because the pieces were hung from balcony railings and viewed from a distance\, I used canvases ranging from 3 to 6 feet in height—hence the name of that show\, as some of the paintings are almost the size of doors. \nI’m a largely self-taught artist\, born and raised in Massachusetts\, with my childhood spent in Arlington\, Sudbury\, and then Concord\, where I now reside. Although I’ve worked in multiple mediums\, my main focus the past few years has been floral paintings on textured canvas\, which I started while in Lois Andersen’s Monday Night Painters group at The Umbrella Arts Center. I am ever-appreciative of Lois\, the camaraderie of the group\, and the variety of local trails and publicly-accessible gardens that provide such an abundance of beauty. I hope my art can convey some of that beauty to others\, no matter the season\, and encourage exploration when the conditions are right! \nwww.maggiestanley.net

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. 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. The Band also will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence with composer Clare Grundman’s classic work\, Spirit of ’76. \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
