Historic Newton Presents Newton History Series: A Pressing Matter - 18th Century Media Literacy and Bias
2024-12-17 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Newton Free Library, 330 Homer St, Newton, MA, 02459, United States
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.
About 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.
This program is part of the Newton History Series, co-sponsored by Historic Newton and the Newton Free Library. Look out for lectures in both February and March 2025.
Thursday, January 16, 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.

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.

Newton Presbyterian Church presents Planet in Sound: From Antarctica to Home
2026-03-07 19:00 - 20:00 | Newton Presbyterian Church, 75 Vernon St., Newton, MA, United States
About

Admission is free and we welcome donations!
Planet in Sound: From Antarctica to Home invites you on a musical journey across our planet’s most breathtaking landscapes, from the vast, frozen silence of Antarctica to the warmth and intimacy of human expression. Through music inspired by nature, earth, and belonging, this concert transforms the planet into a living soundscape, reminding us that even the most distant places are deeply connected to our inner world.
Praised by Sing Tao Daily for “bringing the audience into a different sound world with her vibrant tones,” pianist Anran Qian is a versatile and compelling artist whose performances have taken her across Asia, Europe, and North America. Joined by guitarist and composer Dr. Alberta Khoury, an Australian-born musician celebrated for her powerful artistry and praised by The New York Times as “a seven-minute tour de force,” the duo brings together two vivid musical voices united by imagination, depth, and storytelling.
Together, they create a concert experience that is both expansive and intimate: where ice meets earth, sound becomes landscape, and music becomes a bridge between the planet we explore and the home we carry within.
