SUMMARY:Singing Through the Generations: Worship Wars\, Musical Heresies\, and Sound Innovations
DESCRIPTION:This is a participatory music workshop addressing the history of congregational singing. Our friends from the UU community Matt Meyer and Beth Norton will host this workshop to benefit AUUMM (the Association for UU Music Ministries). We expect an audience of about 25-45 people\, musicians\, choir members\, religious professionals\, and fans of UU history and singing. \nThere’s more than one way to raise a song. Our history as Unitarian Universalists is full of innovations\, controversies\, and sometimes missed opportunities for community singing. We’ll journey from Puritan call-and-response\, to the earliest hymns\, to the controversial formation of choirs\, and the heretical introduction of instruments. Together\, we’ll sing our way through centuries of change\, connection\, and creativity\, considering these questions and more: \n\nWhy were hymns so controversial?\nHow did our church choirs first form and why?\nWho introduced the heresy of instruments in worship?\nWhat happened to our songleading roots?\n\nHere’s more information and the registration form. \nTo volunteer to help\, please email Jonathan (jonathan@tparkerchurch.org)

SUMMARY:Music on Centre presents Samodivi
DESCRIPTION:The music of Samodivi is inspired by the beauty and rhythmical intricacies of the Balkan musical traditions. The repertoire includes modern interpretations of old folk songs from the Balkan peninsula\, as well as original compositions using that style as an inspiration. The Balkan region has a tumultuous history\, often riddled by war and mistrust among the countries that share it\, but the music that came from the people who live there clearly shows a familial bond and a shared culture dating back to antiquity. \nIn today’s divisive political and cultural climate\, it is more important than ever to use the powerful tool of music as a way to overcome differences\, embrace our human commonalities\, and celebrate our cultural heritage free of dogma\, judgement\, political agenda\, or short term financial interests. This is exactly what Samodivi represents through our long form pieces\, rich cultural diversity both in personnel and repertoire\, and our deep respect for the authenticity of the musical traditions that inspire us\, combined with a fearless drive to innovate\, discover\, and connect. \nSamodivi: the music of the Balkans\ndirected by Vessela Stoyanova (electric Marimba)\nfeaturing:\nHeiraza (formerly Burcu Gulec) on vocals\nBrian Urra on violin\nTony Leva on bass\nBen Fig on drums\n\n\n\nADMISSION: $25 for adults; $15 for 21 and under. \n\nReserve your tickets at musiconcentre@gmail.com or purchase at the door from 7:00 pm on the evening of the show. Call 617-327-0542 for more information.\nFree\, easy parking available nearby.\nAll proceeds benefit Theodore Parker Unitarian Universalist Church programs and outreach.\n\nSamodivi concert poster here. \n
