Artist Reception and Concert by Windborne
On Sunday November 26th, internationally touring musical quartet, Windborne, will be giving a rare free concert during Liza F. Carter’s artist reception. Windborne has been described by reviewers as amazing group of young singers who have “picked up the torch of folk protest songs for the next generation!” The group educates as they entertain, sharing stories that illuminate the cultural and social context of the traditions from which they sing. Windborne performs for audiences all over the US and UK, and served as musical and cultural ambassadors with the American Music Abroad program in cooperation with the US Department of State. Recently, a video of them singing a protest song in front of Trump Tower went viral. This simple, musical act of defiance caught many people’s attention, and individuals from all 50 states and over 22 countries began supporting these artists’ Indiegogo campaign for their new project, A Song on the Times, an album and songbook of songs from social struggles and movements from the past 400 years. This Christmas, Windborne will be one of the headline acts for A Christmas Celtic Sojourn at the Cutler Majestic Theater in Boston. This Concord concert will be a special opportunity to hear singing group in an intimate space. Windborne will perform during the reception for Concord artist Liza F. Carter’s show “Reserves of Strength” Her art strives to connect viewers with the natural world in a way that will inspire love of the environment, and activism on its behalf. Windborne and Liza Carter are co-hosting this event in the spirit of community and the power of art in activism. Please join us on Sunday, November 26 from 3-5, Trinity Church Concord. Before and after the performance, attendees will have the opportunity to talk with the artist, the singers, and enjoy refreshments

Acton Library offers a look at nomadic life:
Liza Carter — scientist, artist, researcher and photographer — spent time living with a family in Mongolia, and the photographs she took of her experiences, “Moving with the Seasons: Portrait of a Mongolian Family,” will be on display through February at the Acton Memorial Library.
A talk is scheduled for 7 p.m. Jan. 27 at the library, 486 Main St., Acton. Carter will discuss her experiences in Mongolia, relate her concerns about a disappearing culture and teach listeners some basic truths about living a less complicated life.
The photographs offer a look at a fast-disappearing nomadic life in a very harsh climate. Carter absorbed her experiences and has published a book, in collaboration with her Mongolian family, about their life, one not usually experienced by westerners.
Both the lecture and the exhibition are free. Carter’s photographs will be on view through Feb. 27. Library hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2-5 p.m. Sundays. For more information, call 978-929-6650.
