SUMMARY:An Scandinavian Cultural Center presents: An Afternoon of Swedish History
DESCRIPTION:Join the Scandinavian Cultural Center for Carolus Rex – An Afternoon of Swedish History Concerning King Charles XII and the Great Northern War. \n“Were Socrates and Charles the Twelfth of Sweden both present in any company\, and Socrates to say\, ‘Follow me and hear a lecture on philosophy’ and Charles\, laying his hand on his sword\, to say\, ‘Follow me and dethrone the Czar’\, a man would be ashamed to follow Socrates.”  -Samuel Johnson \nCharles XII (1682-1718) was the last of Sweden’s warrior kings. He remains the only Swedish monarch born to absolutism and the last European monarch to die on the field of battle. He claimed the throne at age 15\, was called off to war at 18\, and spent the rest of his life in uniform trying to defeat a coalition of states that at one point or another included Denmark\, Poland-Saxony\, Russia\, Prussia\, and Great Britain. Charles’s armies stormed across Europe and under his direct leadership achieved miraculous victories often in the face of overwhelming odds. On a remote Ukrainian field in 1709\, Sweden lost the initiative. Years of desperate rearguard actions yielded further losses of territory and lives before culminating in the mysterious death of Charles himself at a lowly fortress in Norway. \nPublic opinion and literary history are quick to place Charles in one of two extreme categories- a noble warrior fated to defend a doomed empire – or – a tyrant driven by glory and bloodlust who sacrificed his kingdom on the altar of war. As always\, history is a bit more nuanced. \nCarolus Rex will place Charles XII in his appropriate historical context. The talk of the king’s life and times will be accompanied by music and a display of contemporary artifacts including newspapers\, coins\, musketballs\, and prints. A full replica uniform of a Carolean infantryman circa 1706 will be worn for demonstration and guests are welcome to handle various pieces of kit. Copies of By Defeating My Enemies- Charles XII of Sweden and the Great Northern War 1682-1721 will be available for purchase and signing. \nSaturday\, November 6th | 1pm | $7; FREE for SCC Members | register here

SUMMARY:Scandinavian Cultural Center presents: Jazz on Tap
DESCRIPTION:Tap dance and jazz have a long and intertwined history. From the prohibition on musical instruments during the era of slavery\, which prompted the enslaved African-Americans to find ingenious ways to use their bodies as percussion instruments\, to the early 20th century New York City where Irish and African-American styles of dancing met and enriched each other while innovative popular musical styles were created through the fusion of cultures\, to the film era and the groundbreaking work of Fred Astaire – these two art forms developed side-by-side\, even if at some point their paths have grown somewhat apart. \nTap dancer Alex MacDonald – the original tap soloist and choreographer for the wildly popular vintage jazz band\, Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox – and pianist and improviser Alex Pryrodny present a fun and educational program that pays tribute to the historical roots of each discipline while fusing them in new ways\, with creativity and lightning speed communication of both virtuoso performers of full display. Get your hands clapping and your feet moving to the rhythms and sounds of “Jazz on Tap!” \n**please note that advanced registration\, masks\, and proof of vaccination are required for this event** \nSaturday\, November 13th | 1pm | register here \nPresented in partnership with Newton at Home.

SUMMARY:Newton Art Association presents: Demo with Kathy Anderson
DESCRIPTION:In 2001 Kathy was invited to join a group of painters under the tutelage of the renowned artist\, Richard Schmid. This opportunity renewed and revitalized her work and began a period of intense focus and rapid growth. Painting for these last 10 years with Schmid\, his wife Nancy Guzik\, and the group which has become known as the Putney Painters has provided invaluable support and inspiration. \nThe vision that she bestows on us with every brush stroke comes from a lifetime of intimate contact with nature. Along with her passion for nature and the interconnectedness of the natural world she is also an avid gardener and spends many pleasurable hours close to the flowers that she paints so magnificently. This close contact with her favorite subject provides her with not just a structural knowledge of flowers but a true love for the flowers\, weeds\, dirt and detritus of a natural\, healthy garden. \nKathy believes in painting from life whenever possible and carries her paints on her frequent travels. While she believes that a well trained artist is able to paint anything skillfully\, she has found that the intensity and emotion in her painting flows from her love of her subjects\, whether still life\, garden\, figure\, or the intimate landscape. \nKathy says\, “I view the world with a painter’s eye\, finding paintings in all of my everyday experiences and travels.” \nClick here to learn more.
