Bedford Town Hall

The Bedford Cultural District’s New Song Music Series welcomes contemporary string band Rachel Sumner &amp; Traveling Light for a night of spellbinding music and storytelling on May 16.
Led by singer-songwriter Rachel Sumner (guitar and vocals), with Kat Wallace (fiddle and vocals) and Mike Siegel (upright bass and vocals), the trio is known for rich melodies that blend folk, Americana, and bluegrass.
Sumner, formerly of Twisted Pine, has earned wide recognition, including the 2021 John Lennon Songwriting Award (Folk), a Kerrville New Folk Competition win, and the archiving of five original songs at the Library of Congress. As a group, Traveling Light has won the 2023 Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival competition and the 2025 Telluride Bluegrass Band Contest and has been featured for four consecutive years by WBUR/NPR as a top Massachusetts entry in the Tiny Desk Contest.
Critics have praised Sumner’s work for its ability to balance authenticity with fresh perspectives. As folk artist and writer Lindsay Straw noted, her music is “achingly clear and wide open to the world, with twang and tenderness.”
Listen to the band perform “Anything Worth Doing” at the Owl Music Parlor: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBmM8UACk8c" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBmM8UACk8c. </a>Buy tickets at <a href="https://newsongbedford.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">newsongbedford.org/</a>.

The Concord Orchestra presents “The Heavenly Life” at 8:00pm on Saturday, May 16 and Sunday, May 17 at 2:30pm at the Performing Arts Center at 51 Walden. The orchestra, conducted by Music Director Zeke Fetrow, performs Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 with Ann Moss as soprano soloist. A pre-concert talk is scheduled for 7:15pm on Saturday.
Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 is a comparatively short work, lasting less than an hour. The final movement of the symphony is a song “The Heavenly Life”with orchestral accompaniment, sung by a soprano. The words, which come from German folk poetry, are about a child’s naïve view of heaven.
In the three movements that lead up to this song, there are many pleasant tunes and the cozy sound of sleigh bells, but there are disquieting passages as well. For example, the second movement is a lively scherzo, but the principal violin plays an eerie solo that represents the devil’s fiddle. The moving third movement contrasts the serenity of heaven with the struggles of earthly life.
Soprano Ann Moss is an acclaimed recording artist, chamber musician, and champion of living composers. She has been a featured soloist with San Francisco Symphony, SF Chamber Orchestra, UC Berkeley Symphony, SF Contemporary Music Players, Music of Remembrance, and the Ives, Alexander, Lydian and Hausmann String Quartets.
Tickets for adults and seniors are $25. Admission for youth under 18 is free. For tickets and information, call 978-369-4967 or visit <a href="https://www.concordorchestra.com/heavenly-life" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.concordorchestra.com/heavenly-life</a>.
