SUMMARY:2026 DEI Commission Community Survey
DESCRIPTION:Concord has a new question for its residents\, and it’s a simple one: how are you doing? \nThe town’s Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Commission has launched a community survey to find out what it actually feels like to live\, work\, or study in Concord. Not what we assume. Not what we’ve always heard. What people actually experience day to day. \nThe survey covers topics like whether people feel welcome in town spaces\, whether they’ve encountered barriers accessing services or opportunities\, and how connected they feel to the broader community. It takes about ten minutes\, and anyone who spends time in Concord is encouraged to take it\, whether you’re a longtime resident\, a recent arrival\, a student\, or someone who works here but lives somewhere else. \nWhy does this matter? Because good decisions require real information. The Commission can’t advocate for a more inclusive Concord without understanding where people feel included and where they don’t. \nThis survey is how we start that conversation. \nIt’s anonymous and it’s open to everyone who lives\, works\, or studies in Concord. If you want to share it\, the hashtag is #youbelonginConcord.

SUMMARY:15th Anniversary: The Robbins House Move
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we mark the 15th anniversary of a milestone moment in Concord’s history—the relocation of the Robinson/Garrison family home to its current site and the opening of The Robbins House museum. The program includes a conversation with those who played a key role in the relocation\, offering firsthand perspectives and stories from this important moment in the site’s history\, as well as a special appearance by the Concord Minute Men. \nOriginally built in the early 1820s\, the house was home to members of the Robbins and Garrison families\, descendants of formerly enslaved people who established lives rooted in independence\, land ownership\, and community. After standing for decades at a different location\, the house was saved from demolition in 2010 and carefully moved to Monument Street\, where it was restored and opened to the public as a museum in 2011.

SUMMARY:The Concord Orchestra presents "The Heavenly Life"
DESCRIPTION:The orchestra\, conducted by Music Director Zeke Fetrow\, performs Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 with Ann Moss as soprano soloist. A pre-concert talk is scheduled for 7:15pm. \nMahler’s Symphony No. 4 is a comparatively short work\, lasting less than an hour. The final movement of the symphony is a song “The Heavenly Life” with orchestra accompaniment\, sung by a soprano. The words\, which come from German folk poetry\, are about a child’s naïve view of heaven. \nIn the three movements that lead up to this song\, there are many pleasant tunes and the cozy sound of sleigh bells\, but there are disquieting passages as well. For example\, the second movement is a lively scherzo\, but the principal violin plays an eerie solo that represents the devil’s fiddle. The third movement contrasts the serenity of heaven with the struggles of earthly life. \nSoprano Ann Moss is an acclaimed recording artist\, chamber musician\, and champion of living composers. She has been a featured soloist with San Francisco Symphony\, SF Chamber Orchestra\, UC Berkeley Symphony\, SF Contemporary Music Players\, Music of Remembrance\, and the Ives\, Alexander\, Lydian and Hausmann String Quartets. \nTickets for adults and seniors are $25. Admission for youth under 18 is free. For tickets and information\, call 978-369-4967 or visit https://www.concordorchestra.com/heavenly-life.
