Beginning November 2, Friends Village, in partnership with Senior Planet from AARP, will offer Creative with Canva, a FREE, interactive technology course designed to introduce older adults to the exciting possibilities of digital design.

Participants will learn how to navigate Canva, experiment with its many creative features, and design everything from personalized greeting cards and invitations to flyers and other unique projects. With guidance from an experienced instructor and encouragement from fellow classmates, everyone will have the opportunity to bring their own creative ideas to life.
And with the holiday season approaching, it’s the perfect time to discover new ways to create something thoughtful and personal for family and friends.
No design experience? No problem! Whether you’re completely new to technology or simply looking to expand your digital skills, this welcoming, interactive course offers an opportunity to learn something new, meet others, and have a little fun along the way.

BREAKING NEWS: You’re invited to a conversation that doesn’t require scrolling, swiping, or fact-checking your uncle’s latest Facebook post!&nbsp;
Remember when getting the news meant reading the morning paper or watching the 6 o’clock broadcast? Now, before you’ve even finished your morning coffee, you’ve received 47 notifications, watched three breaking news stories, and somehow ended up watching a video of a cat riding a Roomba!&nbsp;
The world of news and social media has changed dramatically, but has our ability to make sense of it all kept up?
Join Friends Village and WHYY’s Bridging Blocks for our FINAL community conversation of 2026!
SOCIAL MEDIA, THE NEWS, AND THE NEXT GENERATION
Let’s put down our phones (just for an hour!) and have a real conversation about the digital world we’re living in.
&nbsp;We’ll explore some big questions:
&nbsp;How do we separate fact from fiction in a world overflowing with information?
&nbsp;Has the nonstop news cycle made us more informed—or simply more overwhelmed?
&nbsp;How are social media platforms influencing our opinions, relationships, and communities?
&nbsp;What does all of this mean for the next generation?
And perhaps the biggest question of all… Can we still disagree without unfriending each other?&nbsp;
No lectures. No shouting matches. No algorithms deciding what you should think. Just neighbors coming together to listen, share perspectives, ask questions, and learn from one another.

THERE’S STILL TIME TO REGISTER!
Don’t let this conversation disappear into your newsfeed! Join us for one final Bridging Blocks discussion before we wrap up 2026.
Register today:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.friends-village.org/bridging-blocks-program" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.friends-village.org/bridging-blocks-program</a>

Bring a friend, invite a neighbor, and SHARE this post! After all, social media is pretty good at spreading the word—let’s put it to good use!
One hour. Different perspectives. Real conversation. No comment section required.&nbsp;

<h1>Zlock Performing Arts Center Presents ELEW Plays STING – The Music of Sting Reimagined</h1>
<h3>Where Rock Meets Jazz: An Electrifying Piano Experience Like No Other</h3>
Friday, November 6, 2026 at 7:30 PM
Newtown, PA – Prepare for an extraordinary evening of musical innovation as internationally acclaimed virtuoso pianist Eric Lewis, better known as ELEW, brings his explosive and imaginative interpretations of Sting's legendary music to the Zlock Performing Arts Center on Friday, November 6, 2026 at 7:30 PM.
Blurring the boundaries between jazz, rock, and classical music, ELEW has created a revolutionary performance style he calls Rockjazz, transforming familiar songs into powerful, emotionally charged musical experiences. For this special concert, ELEW turns his remarkable talents toward the iconic catalog of Sting, reimagining the legendary singer-songwriter's music with daring improvisation, sophisticated harmonies, and breathtaking technical mastery.
A native of Camden, New Jersey, Eric Lewis began studying piano at the remarkable age of two. His extraordinary musical abilities eventually earned him the prestigious Rodgers and Hammerstein full-merit scholarship to the Manhattan School of Music, setting the stage for a remarkable career that has taken him far beyond the traditional boundaries of jazz.
Over the years, ELEW has developed his own distinctive musical language, incorporating innovative techniques such as Counterbop and Rockjazz. His performances combine the improvisational freedom of jazz with the intensity and driving energy of rock music, creating a sound that is uniquely his own.
But ELEW is far more than an extraordinary pianist—he is a dynamic and theatrical performer who transforms the piano into an entire musical universe. Known for frequently playing while standing, attacking the keyboard with remarkable energy, and using percussive techniques directly inside the instrument, ELEW creates a visually captivating experience that must be seen as well as heard.
His artistry has even captured the attention of Sting himself. After hearing ELEW perform in a Manhattan club, Sting was so impressed that he invited the pianist to open performances on his My Songs 3.0 Tour—a remarkable endorsement from one of contemporary music's most celebrated artists.
Now, audiences at the Zlock Performing Arts Center will have the opportunity to experience this extraordinary musical connection firsthand.
Through ELEW's inventive interpretations, Sting's beloved compositions take on new dimensions, blending familiar melodies with unexpected harmonies, rhythmic intensity, and spontaneous musical exploration. The result is a concert experience that honors the original music while boldly taking it somewhere entirely new.
Whether you're a fan of Sting, a jazz enthusiast, a rock music lover, or simply someone who appreciates exceptional musicianship, ELEW promises an unforgettable evening of passion, creativity, and musical brilliance.

<h3>About ELEW</h3>
Eric Lewis, professionally known as ELEW, is an internationally recognized pianist and musical innovator celebrated for his groundbreaking Rockjazz style.

Bianco is also an enthusiastic champion of contemporary music, regularly collaborating with composers and fellow musicians to explore new works and expand the classical guitar repertoire. His artistic approach bridges centuries of musical tradition while embracing the creativity and innovation of today's composers.
