Once you have registered to vote at your address\, you don’t need to re-register for each election or town meeting\, unless you wish to change your party. Returning your annual town census keeps your name on the active voter list. Voters who don’t respond to the annual census are placed on the inactive voter list. This helps us keep our voter list up to date. \n\nVote by Mail\nVoting by mail is available to all voters and must be renewed each calendar year. Voters may apply online\, by mail\, email (email your signed vote by mail application form to: elections@concordma.gov) or in person. If you apply to vote by mail for all elections in the calendar year\, make sure you share changes to your mailing address as ballots are not forwarded.  \nMore on Voting by Mail in Concord\nVote by Mail and Absentee Ballot Applications have to be renewed each calendar year! \nRegister to Vote \nFind your polling place URL:https://www.livingconcord.com/event/annual-town-election/ LOCATION:MA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.livingconcord.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/voteimage-for-blog-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260329T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260329T163000 DTSTAMP:20260412T174602 CREATED:20260228T211657Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260228T211657Z UID:10025776-1774794600-1774801800@www.livingconcord.com SUMMARY:The Concord Orchestra presents "Vignettes" DESCRIPTION:The orchestra\, conducted by Music Director Zeke Fetrow\, performs a program of Gustav Holst’s A Somerset Rhapsody\, Dmitri Shostakovich’s Suite for Variety Orchestra\, Georg Philipp Telemann’s Trumpet Concerto in D Major\, and Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. \nWilliam Kasel\, principal trumpet of the Concord Orchestra\, is the soloist for Telemann’s Trumpet Concerto in D major. Born and raised in Lancaster\, Pennsylvania\, William began playing the trumpet at the age of nine. As an undergraduate student at Boston University\, William studied with Rolf Smedvig\, former principal trumpet of the Boston Symphony and one of the founding members of the Empire Brass Quintet\, and Roger Voisin\, former principal trumpet of the Boston Symphony. William spent three summers as a student at Tanglewood performing with the Boston University Institute and the Fellows at the Berkshire Music Festival. William has played with Sarah Caldwell’s Opera Company in Boston and the Empire Brass Quintet. After a 25-year interlude\, William returned to performing in 2013\, sharing with the public his passion for music and the trumpet. \nHolst’s A Somerset Rhapsody is based on English folk tunes\, inspired by the idyllic beauty of the Somerset region of England. \nThe orchestra performs several movements from Shostakovich’s Suite for Variety Orchestra\, based on his film scores\, ballet and theater music. The unusual instrumentation includes accordion and saxophone. \nMussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition is a musical visit to an art gallery. It was written as a tribute to Viktor Hartmann\, an artist and close friend of the composer who died prematurely. It was originally composed for piano and expertly orchestrated by Maurice Ravel. \nTickets for adults and seniors are $25. Admission for youth under 18 is free.

When that companion dies\, the grief can feel big\, confusing\, and sometimes overwhelming. \nBecause pet loss isn’t always talked about openly\, children can feel alone in their sadness. This group offers a caring\, supportive space to honor beloved pets\, share stories\, and make sense of big feelings together. \nThis workshop will be led by graduate interns and a licensed mental health counselor at our nature center. In addition to guided conversation\, we will make a memorial for our pets and families will have individual time with our therapy animals. Families will leave with tools for coping\, remembering\, and staying connected to the love they shared with their pet. \nPlease know that we understand grief is heavy enough\, and finances shouldn’t add to it. If the cost is a barrier at the moment\, please email me\, at swirtanen@nature-connection.org and we’ll find an option that works. \nPlease note we share our space with animals\, so you may notice the natural scents and sounds of small animals. If you’re sensitive to smells or have allergies\, please keep this in mind.
