SUMMARY:Historic Newton Presents Newton History Series: A Pressing Matter - 18th Century Media Literacy and Bias
DESCRIPTION:Media and information literacy are essential 21st-century skills in order to be an informed citizen. These are also skills that\, when applied in a historical context\, help us become better historians. In this discussion\, we will analyze perspective\, language\, and bias in 18th-century newspapers\, with a critical lens on how news was consumed in colonial America. \nAbout the speaker: Michele Gabrielson is a local history teacher and historic interpreter of the 18th century. When she is not teaching in the classroom\, Michele can be found leading tours\, lectures\, and demonstrations at historic sites in the greater Boston area. She specializes in interpreting the history of colonial women printers\, the stories of loyalist refugees\, and of 18th century chocolate makers! Most recently\, she has taken on building a first-person impression of the revolutionary playwright and poet Mercy Otis Warren. Michele additionally serves on several historical committees dedicated to helping preserve the history of colonial America\, is a member of the Authenticity Standards Committee for Minuteman National Historic Park\, and is the coordinator for the Battle Road Guides for the annual reenactment of the Battle of Lexington and Concord. She was recently awarded a 2024 Rising Star Award for Public History by the Massachusetts History Alliance for her programming titled\, “The Revolutionary Classroom\,” and named a finalist for the 2024 Massachusetts History Teacher of the Year. \nThis program is part of the Newton History Series\, co-sponsored by Historic Newton and the Newton Free Library.

SUMMARY:New TV presents Future Forward Gala
DESCRIPTION:NewTV is pleased to announce their inaugural Future Forward Gala on September 30\, 2025 beginning at 6:00PM. The Gala will take place at the Boston Marriott Newton\, located at 2345 Commonwealth Avenue. \nLike most community media centers\, NewTV is funded primarily by a surcharge on the cable bill of local cable subscribers. With more and more people “cutting the cord” in favor of streaming services and apps\, NewTV is rapidly losing a major source of funding needed to serve the Newton community. Supporting the Future Forward Gala helps to finance NewTV’s annual fundraising campaign\, ensuring that NewTV remains the best community media center in the nation. \nThe gala features an immersive journey through NewTV’s history: Learn what NewTV has accomplished and discover some of the most meaningful content they have created over the past three decades. NewTV will also define their vision for the future – how they will continue to protect your First Amendment right to free speech\, and how they will continue to provide you with transparent local government coverage and journalistic integrity. \nThe evening also includes cocktail hour and hors d’oeuvres\, a sit-down dinner\, a live performance by Boston music legend Livingston Taylor\, and a tribute to outgoing Newton Mayor Ruthanne Fuller.

SUMMARY:West Newton Cinema Reads: The Bostonians
DESCRIPTION:In Boston\, in the aftermath of the Civil War\, Verena Tarrant (Madeleine Potter)\, a gifted young orator\, has attracted the attention of Olive Chancellor (Vanessa Redgrave)\, who wishes to nurture Verena as an inspirational force for the Women’s Movement. Ranged against her is Basil Ransom (Christopher Reeve)\, a handsome male chauvinist\, who wants Verena as his wife. Against a backdrop of luminous New England landscapes\, battle is joined\, and for Olive\, the struggle will prove an odyssey that forces her to acknowledge her true nature. Merchant Ivory Productions’ acclaimed screen adaptation of Henry James’s The Bostonians (1886)\, set in Cambridge and Boston\, charts the struggle between two charismatic forces to gain control over the destiny of a spirited young woman. \nJoin us for a special screening of The Bostonians\, now in stunning 4K restoration\, with an opening discussion of both the film and the novel led by Sierra Eckert and David Kurnick and moderated by John Plotz.

This year’s symposium on Henry James’s The Bostonians will be held on Friday\, October 17\, in Brandeis University’s Women’s Studies Research Center\, and speakers will include Louis Menand (Harvard University) and Holly Jackson (University of Massachusetts\, Boston). \nSIERRA ECKERT is Assistant Professor of English at Wesleyan University. She specializes in nineteenth-century British and Anglophone literature\, disciplinary history\, critical and social theory\, and the digital humanities. Her work has appeared in Victorian Studies and Studies in the Novel. \nDAVID KURNICK is Professor of English at Rutgers University at New Brunswick.

SUMMARY:Parisian Colors: Between Line and Light
DESCRIPTION:Join the award-winning Poiema Trio for an evening of French chamber music where elegance meets daring. From Ravel’s shimmering Trio to Boulanger’s radiant D’un matin de printemps and Fauré’s lyrical late Trio\, discover the vibrant palette of sound that defined Paris in the early 20th century. \nPoiema Trio\, dedicated to sharing the joy of chamber music with audiences of all demographics\, infuses their performances with spontaneity\, imagination\, and storytelling. Poiema formed in the summer of 2023 at the Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival after bonding over a shared affinity for folk traditions and improvisation and falling in love with making music together over many late night reading sessions. In their time together\, they have performed and taught workshops across the eastern half of the US and are recipients of the 2024 Gold Medal Prize from the Ninth International Chamber Music Ensemble Competition. The vibrant members have backgrounds in historical performance\, folk\, jazz\, and production\, hold degrees from the Juilliard School and the Cleveland Institute of Music\, and are currently working on arranging folk tunes for piano trio. Their name\, “Poiema\,” means poetry at the intersection of beauty and brokenness\, a poignant reminder of an artist’s true calling.
