The Language of Abstraction: A Masterclass by Adria Arch
Saturday, October 10, at 3 pm
What is Abstract Art and what does it mean? According to Adria Arch, a well-known and accomplished Boston based sculptor and painter, abstraction isn’t a rejection of meaning – it’s a different grammar for it. In this Masterclass, Adria will unpack how form, gravity, color, and line can speak as clearly as any figure or story. She’ll speak to the question “How did we get here, from representation to pure form? Just bring your curiosity about how shape and color evoke our emotions before we can even name them.

Masterclass Series: Demystifying Jazz
Sunday, November 1, at 2 pm
at the Wayland High School Auditorium
264 Old Connecticut Path, Wayland, MA 01778
Guitarist Phil Sargent and pianist Neil Olmstead team up to discuss and demonstrate how accessible this music can be, challenging assumptions that jazz is elusive and opaque. Beginning with Miles Davis’ mid-50s period, known as “cool jazz,” and continuing to present-day jazz, they will discuss the origins of the repertoire, the forms of jazz standards, and aspects of the soloist’s vocabulary. Participants will learn how to track the form of a jazz tune and listen intelligently to improvised solos.
Phil and Neil will be joined by bassist Greg Loughman and drummer Austin McMahon.
