Japan: Spirited Away
with Marlin Darrah 
Join the world's most traveled filmmaker on a spectacular journey to Japan's Honshu and Hokkaido islands. Along the way you'll savor historic sites and cultural parks, walk through Buddhist and Shinto shrines, enjoy music and dance performances, sample delicious cuisine, and meet a variety of friendly Japanese people. You'll experience modern and energetic Tokyo, Japan's biggest city, then travel south to the charming fishing-port town of Shimizu and to the photogenic Mount Fuji, then to the exciting city of Kobe. You will ride the train to Japan's most important cultural and historic city, Kyoto, then travel east to Hiroshima to see the powerful and poignant memorial park there. You'll see the massive and colorful fish market in the town of Fukuoka, then journey to Busan, Korea, for a taste of Korean culture - an interesting contrast to Japanese cities. Then travel back to Kanazawa and Akita, two coastal cities that show you what life is like in non-tourist cities. Tour the rice fields, sip the famous sake there and walk through beautiful parks during cherry-blossom season.

Irish voices with Stephen Collins and
Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven; with a guest appearance by Emily Dickinson with Jeffrey Zygmont
Irish voices 
They call it The Norton Anthology of English Literature and yet many of the writers included were born in Ireland. The commonality, of course, is the English language but there are vast cultural differences which will be explored in this performance.Much Irish writing deals with the land, the past, the church, and the changing political landscape. Yeats, Joyce, Heaney, McCourt, and other prominent writers are represented in this dramatic offering.
Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven
Greet Halloween with Edgar Allan Poe. 
Hear a dramatic recital of Edgar Allan Poe’s most famous poem, The Raven – the perfect work of American art to put us in a spooky mood. With props to enhance the suspenseful, supernatural tone of the poem, Jeffrey Zygmont delivers the recital with commentary and a summary of Poe’s life and significance. The program includes Poe’s poem “The Bells,” plus some poems by Emily Dickinson that enhance the chilling atmosphere.

The Walker Lecture Series invites you to
Connie Converse: Concord's Cassandra with Howard Fishman
Concord High School class of 1942 valedictorian Connie Converse could see the future. A trailblazing songwriter, composer, performer, thinker, activist, writer, and community organizer, Converse (1924-?) spent her known life engaged with creative and intellectual pursuits that pointed toward many of today’s cultural preoccupations, including: pioneering the DIY indie musician model; railing against fascism; agitating against institutional racism: exploring the roots of human conflict; and experimenting with alternative methods of public education––all decades before such ideas and practices entered the mainstream. There was only one problem: she was invisible.
Like the mythological Cassandra, the character on whom she chose to base her final known musical project, Converse seemed cursed. Her music was ignored. Her ideas about society, conflict, and race were relegated to niche academic journals and sparsely attended lectures. Her deeply-rooted activism was anonymous. And her stubborn refusal to play by the gender rules of her day made her a misfit.
In 1974, frustrated by her lifelong inability to have her life’s work acknowledged, Connie Converse wrote notes to family and friends that spoke of her need to try to start over, somewhere else, and drove off. She was never seen again.
Fortunately, Connie Converse’s legacy did not disappear along with her. It lives on, preserved in a massive archive she left behind containing letters, diaries, music, artwork, photographs, intellectual projects and writing, and recordings of her music–the basis for Howard Fishman’s book To Anyone Who Ever Asks: The Life, Music, and Mystery of Connie Converse.
