The <a href="https://greathallperformance.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Needham Bank Great Hall Concert Series</a> will bring Grammy-winning and Emmy-nominated Irish fiddler Eileen Ivers to the stage for a 7:30 pm performance at the Needham Town Hall.
Ivers is a nine-time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion.&nbsp;Proclaimed “a national treasure,” she connects her American, Irish traditional, jazz, blues, and world roots. She was the groundbreaking musical star of Riverdance, a featured instrumentalist on Back to Titanic, and contributed to film soundtracks including Gangs of New York. Ivers has been called a "sensation" by Billboard magazine, "the Jimi Hendrix of the violin” by The New York Times, “the future of the Celtic fiddle” by The Washington Post, and “a virtuoso” by The Irish Times.
Writer Frank McCourt sums up her genius eloquently: “Eileen is to Irish music as Michael Flatley is to Irish dance—a pioneer, an innovator, a universalist.”

Michael Driscoll School

Passion, politics, and pulse-pounding rhythm collide! Martín Palmeri’s “Misatango” electrifies the Latin Mass with fiery Argentinian “new tango,” blending chorus, bandoneón, and strings in a bold, emotional ride that has energized audiences on several continents. By embedding tango’s harmonic language, rhythms, and melodic designs in the orchestra, Palmeri frees the chorus to simply “sing the Mass”, plunging the audience into a world of uplifting emotions, passion, and syncopation.
Opening the concert is Lamentations of the Prophet Jeremiah by Alberto Ginastera, an intense work written in exile in 1946. Setting Latin texts from the Book of Lamentations and with dissonant harmonies, jagged rhythms, and stark contrasts, Ginasteri’s music expresses profound sorrow and spiritual desolation.
Adding to the verve of the Latin American program are scintillating dance performances by Boston-based tangueros, curated by bandoneonist Alex Roitman and accompanied by a tango instrumental ensemble. With mezzo-soprano Laura Beth Couch and bandoneonist Alex Roitman.

Local Greek Market Celebrates Greek Lenten Traditions

Greek International Food Market 

West Roxbury, MA — As the season of Lent begins for millions observing Orthodox Christian traditions, Greek International Food Market in West Roxbury is welcoming the community to explore the rich flavors and centuries-old traditions of Greek Lenten cuisine. Owner Katerina Iliades, whose family has served the Boston Greek community for decades, says many of the foods enjoyed during Lent reflect long-standing Greek culinary traditions. “Lent is a forty-day season leading up to Easter when many families embrace traditional fasting foods rooted in the Mediterranean diet,” says Iliades. “The dishes enjoyed during this time — from beans and vegetables to seafood and olive oil — have been part of Greek culinary traditions for centuries.” During the Lenten season, many Christians avoid meat and dairy, turning instead to a vibrant variety of Mediterranean dishes that are naturally plant-based and deeply rooted in Greek culinary tradition. At Greek International Food Market, customers can enjoy a wide selection of traditional homemade Lenten meals including: Okra in tomato sauce Greek string beans (fasolakia) Stuffed grape leaves (dolmades) Giant beans baked in tomato sauce (gigantes) Bean salads and Mediterranean vegetable dishes The market also carries a large variety of Lenten pantry staples and imported Greek products, including vegan Greek pies, Mediterranean vegetables, canned and dried beans, and an extensive olive bar featuring a wide selection of Greek olives. Seasonal Lenten specialties available at the market also include fresh-baked lagana bread, traditionally enjoyed on Clean Monday, along with beloved Greek sweets such as halva, loukoumia (Greek delights), and moustokouloura. periods. For more than 16 years, Greek International Food Market has served as a destination for authentic Greek foods, imported products and homemade Mediterranean specialties in the Boston area. “We love sharing these traditions with our community,” says Iliades.
