Introducing "Draw the Line," the only officially endorsed Aerosmith tribute band, renowned for delivering an authentic and high-octane experience that captures the soul of America's Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band. Based in Boston, MA, and established in 1991, "Draw the Line" is not just a band; it's a tribute to the legacy of Aerosmith, designed to resonate with die-hard fans and new listeners alike.

Women in Harmony will present a spring concert entitled “Rooted to the Ground” on May 15 and 16 in Falmouth. The title is a phrase from the song Take this Gift by Tracy Wong, which celebrates the love of singing as a gift joyfully offered to the world. We are earthly creatures, it suggests, but we have lofty inclinations and an expansive reach. Singing together unites these two aspects of our being. Among the many other pieces that fill our program, Paper Crane by J. Reese Norris is a much needed song dedicated to peace in our fraught times.
We very much look forward to welcoming you in May.

The Fiddle Orchestra of Western Massachusetts is an amateur community orchestra made up mostly of fiddle players but also players of other instruments. The orchestra gives musicians the opportunity to play together as amateurs under the guidance of professional musicians in order to improve our skills, more deeply enjoy our hobby, nourish camaraderie, and share our enjoyment of music with the community. The Orchestra is a member-run non-profit managed by co-founder Becky Shannon.

This season musical director Annika Amstutz is joined by local musician Van Kaynor and together they crafted an exciting season of new and familiar music for members to learn and explore. Join the Fiddle Orchestra of Western Massachusetts for an afternoon of traditional and contemporary fiddle tunes as we celebrate the power of music to foster friendships and connections.

Join Bombyx, the Yiddish Book Center, and Beit Ahavah for an immersive sound experience led by Kleztronica artist Chaia and violinist Rachel Leader.

Chaia is a New York-based artist combining Yiddish archival practice with electronic music. Working in close collaboration with Yiddish folklorists and archivists, she invites audiences to engage with Yiddish ritual, generational trauma, and the echoes of ancestral memory. In this performance, she brings together audio material from a wide range of Yiddish archival sources, creating an auditory “Yiddishland” that transcends borders and time.

Rachel Leader is a klezmer violinist, cultural organizer, and educator based in Northampton, MA. She engages traditional klezmer fiddle style and repertoire to cultivate immersive storytelling experiences, vibrant community contexts, and new visions of Jewish diasporic identity.

The Soundbath will happen in the Peacock Room. It's a synthesis of meditation and therapy; an hour of calm, intention, and introspection. Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, cushion, pillow, or whatever you need to be comfortable.
