The Emmy-nominated documentary Join or Die, follows the half-century story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam, whose groundbreaking “Bowling Alone” research into America’s decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy’s present crisis.

Flanked by influential fans and scholars — from Priya Parker, Pete Buttigieg, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to Jane McAlevey, Hillary Clinton, and Eddie Glaude Jr. — as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country, join Bob as he explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And, most importantly… What can we do about it?

MassBay Community College Wellesley Hills Campus

Peter Gardner - ICE, From Signal Hill William Boyce - Symphony No. 4 Benjamin Britten - Four Sea Interludes Ralph Vaughan Williams - Symphony No. 5 -- Mark&nbsp;Latham, Music Director --




We begin with a new work, ICE, From Signal Hill by Peter Gardner. This is a musical dramatization of an iceberg passing by the easternmost point in North America, Signal Hill in Newfoundland. "ICE" represents the dawn breaking over the Atlantic, revealing a giant iceberg passing southward, cracking in the sunlight.

The delightful Symphony No. 4 was created by the 18th century composer and musician William Boyce. Benjamin Britten's Four Sea Interludes are adapted from his opera "Peter Grimes." These evocative scenes depict Dawn, Sunday Morning, Moonlight, and Storm.

Our concert ends with Ralph Vaughan Williams acclaimed Symphony No. 5. Premiered in 1943 with the horrors of WW2 all around them, it was said that this "work’s ‘serene loveliness is completely satisfying in these times and shows, as only music can, what we must work for when this madness is over’."

Please join us for this respite from our day-to-day. The concert will be at MassBay Community College in Wellesley with a reception after the concert. MassBay is minutes from Rt 95, easy to get to with free parking. Great dining and shopping is minutes away in nearby Wellesley Square. Tickets are pay-what-you-can. We hope to see you there!
