SUMMARY:Reverie Road at De la Luz Soundstage
DESCRIPTION:Cafe opens for dinner at 6:00. Show begins at 7:00. \nReverie Road is a genre-defying Celtic powerhouse ensemble\, uniting founding Solas members Winifred Horan (fiddle) and John Williams (accordion) with former Gaelic Storm fiddler Katie Grennan and Steinway Artist Jazz and Raga pianist Utsav Lal. Together\, these four exceptional musicians are celebrated as some of today’s most accomplished traditional and virtuosic folk artists\, captivating audiences worldwide from stages to studios for over three decades. \nReverie Road takes the rich tapestry of Irish music and weaves it into a cinematic experience\, full of expressivity and sophistication. Their performances push the boundaries of tradition\, offering stunningly innovative interpretations that retain the heart of the genre while embracing a modern twist. \nWith a sound that masterfully blends Irish roots with fresh departures\, their repertoire includes distilled airs\, continental waltzes\, and high-energy reels and jigs.  The band chemistry of two accomplished classically trained fiddlers who share a common history as award winning Irish dancers along with two instrumentalists who have sought to redefine traditional accompaniment and rhythm sections amount to a compelling concert experience. \nReverie Road released their much-anticipated debut\, self-titled album in early 2024\, which immediately made waves in the Irish Traditional music genre. Even before they completed their 25-city album national launch tour across the United States\, the album was awarded the coveted “Debut Album of the Year” title by Ireland Tonight. In 2025\, they were one of six recipients of the Brian O’Donovan Legacy fund. \nWhether you’re a lover of traditional music or curious about its modern evolution\, Reverie Road delivers an exhilarating\, boundary-pushing performance that will leave your heart soaring and your toes tapping.

SUMMARY:Hazard Mitigation Plan Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The City of Holyoke has experienced multiple natural hazard events over the last few years\, from heavy rain and flooding to extreme heat events\, and from windstorms to winter storms that may lead to power outages. These events serve as continuous reminders of the risks posed by natural disasters. The City has maintained a natural hazard mitigation plan for many years\, with updates approximately once every five years. The City updated the plan over the past few months to produce a “Hazard Mitigation and Climate Adaptation Plan” for Holyoke. The plan outlines a set of approximately 40 actions that can be taken to reduce losses of property and life due to natural disasters like floods\, severe wind events\, winter storms\, wildfires\, droughts\, extreme heat events\, earthquakes\, and invasive species. \nThe Hazard Mitigation and Climate Adaptation Plan for Holyoke will continue to make the City eligible for hazard mitigation assistance grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The new draft is available at https://www.holyoke.org/hazard-mitigation-plan/. Past planning efforts related to climate change can be reviewed at the City’s web site (www.holyoke.org/conservation-municipal-vulnerability-preparedness-in-holyoke/). \nA public information session is scheduled for March 26\, 2025. The meeting will be held at the Holyoke Public Library (250 Chestnut Street\, Holyoke) in the Community Room at 6:00 PM. The Holyoke Public Library is located on the PVTA bus routes P20\, P21\, P21E\, B23\, R24\, X90. \nComments related to the draft Hazard Mitigation and Climate Adaptation Plan should be provided to the Conservation Department by March 28\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Moonlight Benjamin at De la Luz Soundstage
DESCRIPTION:Cafe opens for dinner at 6:00. Show at 7:00. \nA primal scream\, a mystifying and mystical musical mixture\, almost shamanic\, an incantation of liberation in the midst of raging guitars and propulsive drumming. As a longtime favorite of Martin Gore (Depeche Mode) and Iggy Pop\, the Haitian vodou priestess Moonlight Benjamin explores the roots of blues and rock in this new opus. Carried by a deeper and darker sound\, and by the unique voice of Moonlight\, influenced by Alabama Shakes\, Oumou Sangaré\, and Dr John\, the album Wayo is a primal scream\, a mystifying and mystical musical mixture\, almost shamanic\, an incantation of liberation in the midst of raging guitars and propulsive drumming. \nNicknamed “The Caribbean Patti Smith” by The Guardian (UK)\, Moonlight Benjamin plays a powerful and original music blending Caribbean voodoo melodies and a 70s blues rock inspired by Dr John\, Alabama Shakes\, the Black Keys or Oumou Sangaré.

SUMMARY:Where We Live: A Sense of Place Story and Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In an ever-changing world\, our sense of place—our connection to the landscapes\, communities\, and histories that shape us—offers a foundation for well-being\, belonging\, and stewardship. Research shows that strong place connections enhance mental health\, reduce stress\, and foster a sense of meaning in our lives. Communities rooted in a shared sense of place are more resilient\, fostering understanding\, cooperation\, and a deeper appreciation for cultural and natural heritage. When we feel connected to a place\, we are more likely to care for it\, ensuring its stories\, landscapes\, and ecosystems endure for future generations. \nThis 90-minute workshop invites writers of all levels to craft vivid\, sensory-rich stories\, poems\, or songs inspired by personal experiences with place. Through guided prompts and conversation\, you’ll uncover fresh perspectives and creative sparks to enrich your writing and deepen your connection to yourself and where you live. \nSense of Place & Story Writing is for everyone—whether you’re a seasoned writer or just beginning. Using simple\, sensory-rich prompts\, you’ll unlock vivid descriptions\, authentic emotions\, and compelling narratives that can shape stories\, poems\, songs\, and more. Guided by Erica Wheeler\, you’ll follow a step-by-step process to tap into the power of place through writing. You’ll craft a touchstone story—one that captures meaningful moments from your past or present\, deepening both personal and communal ties to the places you call home. \nCo-sponsored by PVMA and Montague Public Libraries’ NEA Big Read and Wistariahurst Museum. Workshop participants will be invited to share their writings at a culminating concert with Erica Wheeler and writer’s showcase event celebrating local voices and stories on April 27\, from 3-5 pm at the Great Falls Discovery Center.

SUMMARY:More Love Dance Party with DJ Theory
DESCRIPTION:We’re leaning into 2025 with a higher call: more inclusivity and diversity and movement. A new global dance night exploring the past\, present and future of dance music across a broadening spectrum of genres — from disco to dembow\, afrobeats to amapiano — an expanding palette of sounds\, beats\, and languages. This is the launch party. \nPRINCE OF QUEENS\, Felipe Quiroz\, is a Colombian-born\, NYC-raised producer\, DJ\, and multi-instrumentalist blending the city’s trans-Caribbean energy into a fresh sonic identity. His sound fuses deep house and techno with tropical disco\, cumbia\, and merengue — a unique take on underground dance music through the lens of a Colombian immigrant. With his latest EP Merida on Brooklyn’s Razor-N-Tape\, POQ invites you to a dance floor where vintage tropical vibes meet modular synths. Prince of Queens has held residencies at Brooklyn’s Black Flamingo\, Jupiter Disco\, with his “Tropical Past and Future” party. He’s also played iconic venues and clubs including Central Park SummerStage\, Public Records\, Good Room and many more. \nDEEJAY THEORY (ORIGINAL TING MUSIC\, MA)\, a New England native by way of San Francisco\, has been swimming in international musical waters for most of his adult life. While out West\, he co-founded and hosted TORMENTA TROPICAL\, a decade-long dance party in SF’s Mission district. His in-demand DJ sets diffuse a multiplicity of genres with careful craftsmanship\, exquisitely blended with near-zero turbulence and maximal groove. \nTickets are $20. Secret Planet tokens accepted (2-for-1 for our SP members if they arrive before 9PM!). There is a full bar and the cafe will be open serving delicious snacks throughout the night.

SUMMARY:The Holyoke Public Schools and the Tax Override Vote of 1991
DESCRIPTION:UMass professor Kathryn McDermott and Willow Kwak explore the 1991 tax override votes\, part of a tumultuous period in Holyoke politics. McDermott and Kwak conclude that the repeated\, unsuccessful efforts to pass a Proposition 2 ½ override for the schools were a turning point in the relationship between Holyoke and the state\, which eventually led to more state funds for Holyoke and other cities\, but also to school receivership. This is the first time McDermott has presented her research to a Holyoke audience. \nKatie McDermott is on the faculty of the School of Public Policy and the College of Education at UMass Amherst and teaches courses about politics\, public education\, and policy analysis. Willow Kwak is a recent graduate of Northfield Mount Hermon and plans to attend Harvard University in the fall.

SUMMARY:Bab L' Bluz
DESCRIPTION:Bab L’ Bluz (literally “The door of the Blues”) are reclaiming the blues for North Africa. Fronted by an African-Moroccan woman in a traditionally male role\, the band are devoted to a revolution in attitude which dovetails with Morocco’s ‘nayda’ youth movement – a new wave of artists and musicians taking their cues from local heritage\, singing words of freedom in the Moroccan-Arabic dialect of darija. Ancient and current\, funky and rhythmic\, buoyed by Arabic lyrics\, soaring vocals and bass-heavy grooves\, Nayda! seems to pulse from the heart of the Maghreb. \nArmed with their electric guembris\, Bab L’ Bluz resonates a mixture of Gnawa trance  rhythms\, Hassani songs from southern Morocco and Chaabi polyrhythms\, propelling their  music into the magnetic fields of psychedelic rock and volutes of incense.  Led by a woman doukkalia\, the group wants to carry a revolution of attitude being part of  the movement of the Moroccan youth “Nayda”\, a new wave of artists and committed  musicians who are inspired by the local heritage and sing texts of freedom in the Moroccan Arabic dialect\, the darija. \nVery active since its creation\, the power quartet travels the globe to distill its hypnotic riffs  and spread its mystical and liberating headbanging frenzy to its audience – a true signature  of the group. \nPoetic and powerful\, Bab L’ Bluz is an expanding universe\, a sonic territory that transcends  boundaries. \nIn 2020\, Bab L’ Bluz made a stunning entrance on the music scene with the album Nayda!  Mojo Top 10 world Album of the year\, Songlines Best albums of 2020\, The New York Times\,  Vogue Arabia\, BBC\, Le Monde\, Financial Time\, Pan African Music\, Uncut\, Radio Nova or Arte  Concert… \nIn 2021\, Bab L’ Bluz won his first Songlines Music Awards and then began a world tour which  is still ongoing (Europe\, Africa\, America\, Oceania). \nAfter almost constant touring the band released their second album ‘Swaken’ in May 2024\,  to more critical acclaim. The album’s eleven tracks spark and pulse with kinetic\, pedal-to the-metal energy and takes the listener to a place that shakes us up\, to bring us peace.

SUMMARY:Knock Knock! - Photography Exhibit by Jeffery Richard - Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Knock\, Knock! Photographer Jeffrey Richard opens the door to exploration and creativity in his exhibit of urban photographs. Jeffrey Richard is a Holyoke native who has always been inspired by the visual aspects of the world and city around him.Richard’s work explores urban decay and highlights abandoned buildings\, alleys\, and entryways. Though Richards has photographed several places during his travels\, he has returned to Holyoke to take photos of this “always-changing city”\, as he describes it. \n“Knock Knock!” is a collection of photographic images transformed into 3D framed artwork of doors and entryways from Holyoke and beyond. Richard explains the inspiration behind the 3D pop-out frames is to “give depth drawing the viewer into the image\, creating a connection to its space and timelessness.” \n“Knock Knock!” is on view at Wistariahurst Museum beginning April 28th\, through May 20th\, 2025. An opening reception will be held Tuesday\, April 29th from 4:30-6:30pm. This reception is free and open to the public. The exhibit will be on view during gallery hours Mondays 10:00am-2:00pm\, and Tuesdays 4:30-6:30pm. We hope to see you come through our doors to experience “Knock Knock!” \n¡Toc\, toc! El fotógrafo Jeffery Richard abre la puerta a la exploración y la creatividad en su exposición de fotografías urbanas. Jeffrey Richard es un nativo de Holyoke que siempre se ha inspirado en los aspectos visuales del mundo y la ciudad que le rodean.La obra de Richard explora la decadencia urbana y destaca edificios abandonados\, callejones y entradas. Aunque Richards ha fotografiado varios lugares durante sus viajes\, ha vuelto a Holyoke para tomar fotos de esta «ciudad siempre cambiante»\, como él la describe. \nKnock Knock!» es una colección de imágenes fotográficas transformadas en obras de arte enmarcadas en 3D de puertas y entradas de Holyoke y más allá. Richard explica que la inspiración de los marcos desplegables en 3D es «dar profundidad atrayendo al espectador hacia la imagen\, creando una conexión con su espacio y atemporalidad.» \n«Knock Knock!» podrá verse en el Museo Wistariahurst desde el 28 de abril hasta el 20 de mayo de 2025. La recepción inaugural tendrá lugar el martes 29 de abril\, de 16.30 a 18.30 horas. Esta recepción es gratuita y está abierta al público.

SUMMARY:2025 Flywheel Zine Fest
DESCRIPTION:The Flywheel ZineFest returns for another year at the Holyoke Senior Center. Come see dozens of amazing artists and zine creators from throughout the northeast. \nWhat’s a zine? A zine (ZEEN; short for magazine or fanzine) is a small-circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images. Zines are the product of either a single person or of a very small group\, and are popularly photocopied into physical prints for circulation. A fanzine (blend of fan and magazine) is a non-professional and non-official publication produced by enthusiasts of a particular cultural phenomenon (such as a literary or musical genre) for the pleasure of others who share their interest. The term was coined in an October 1940 science fiction fanzine by Russ Chauvenet and popularized within science fiction fandom\, entering the Oxford English Dictionary in 1949.

This integrated approach provides a thorough understanding of soil health by combining quantitative data with qualitative observations. Participants will also have an opportunity to learn about Landscape Interactions’ collaboration with Nuestras Raíces to transform a portion of their working landscape into a refugia for at-risk native bees\, butterflies and moths through the incorporation of biodiverse\, perennial and productive native plant communities. \n————— \nEn este taller práctico\, los participantes aprenderán a tomar muestras de suelo con precisión para un análisis químico integral\, incluyendo el carbono orgánico del suelo (SOC) y el perfil de nutrientes. Analizaremos in situ las propiedades biológicas\, físicas y químicas del suelo\, incluyendo la compactación\, la tasa de infiltración\, la textura y estructura del suelo\, la biología superficial\, la estabilidad de los agregados del suelo\, el comportamiento de las raíces\, la temperatura del suelo y la densidad aparente. Este enfoque integrado proporciona una comprensión profunda de la salud del suelo combinando datos cuantitativos con observaciones cualitativas. \nLos participantes también tendrán la oportunidad de conocer la colaboración entre Landscape Interactions y Nuestras Raíces para transformar una parte de su paisaje productivo en un refugio para abejas nativas\, mariposas y polillas en riesgo\, mediante la incorporación de comunidades de plantas nativas perennes y biodiversas con valor productivo.

SUMMARY:LightHouse 10 Year Celebration
DESCRIPTION:For ten remarkable years\, LightHouse has stood as a beacon of hope\, innovation\, and possibility. We’ve reimagined educational pathways\, centered young people’s voices\, and created spaces where those who didn’t thrive in traditional systems could find belonging\, purpose\, and new routes to their futures. \nFor 10 years we’ve boldly offered a new way to school\, and we’re continuing to expand our vision to serve more. \nJoin us for our 10th Anniversary\, a celebration of our first decade and a rallying cry for the work ahead. The evening begins with an open house at 5PM where you can explore our campus and see what school looks like in our new facility. We then gather in De la Luz\, our performing arts venue\, at 6PM to enjoy light bites prepared with help from our very own culinary students. The program begins at 6:45 and culminates in a concert with Fabiola Méndez\, an Emmy-nominated composer known for her unique blend of genres\, including folk\, jazz\, and Afro-Caribbean influences. Much like the LightHouse community\, her music reflects a wide range of identities\, cultures\, and roots. \nThanks to our sponsors\, including Peoples Bank\, Bueno y Sano\, and Lumber Dog\, this event is free to attend. Guests will be asked to make a meaningful gift to support this work.

SUMMARY:Mountain Park – A talk with Jay Ducharme
DESCRIPTION:Following its opening in 1894 as a picturesque retreat on the side of Mount Tom\, Mountain Park evolved into one of the most beloved amusement parks in New England. At the beginning of the 20th century\, Holyoke was the most prosperous community in the state and one of the first planned industrial cities in the United States. The city’s progress drew crowds of visitors to Mountain Park\, and the park gradually developed into a bustling destination. Although the park closed its gates in 1987\, the echoes of laughter from generations of visitors still reverberate throughout the Pioneer Valley. \nJay Ducharme worked at Mountain Park for over a decade\, just as his father before him\, and has spent much of his life preserving and sharing the history of the park. He is a member of the board of directors for the Holyoke Merry-Go-Round\, the only part of Mountain Park that has remained in the city. The rarely seen images and videos in this presentation have been gathered from the collections of the Holyoke Public Library\, Wistariahurst Museum\, local newspapers\, and residents.  Sponsored by the Holyoke History Room.  Free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Voices from the Inside Reading at Wistariahurst
DESCRIPTION:Voices from the Inside (VFI)  engages women and girls who have been incarcerated or who are at risk of incarceration through writing. The organization encourages these writers to find their voices and cultivate leadership through creative writing workshops. VFI’s work lies in core principles: “everyone has a strong unique voice; everyone is born with creative genius; writing as an art form belongs to all people\, regardless of economic class or educational level; the teaching of craft can be done without damage to a writer’s original voice or artistic self-esteem and; a writer is someone who writes.” VFI also encourages their participants to share their work in presentations\, conversations\, and performances as part of their Voices Carry initiative. Wistariahurst Museum is excited to host one of these presentations. The Voices from the Inside reading at Wistariahurst will be held Saturday\, May 17\, 1:00-2:00. \nVoices from the Inside (VFI) involucra a través de la escritura a mujeres y niñas que han sido encarceladas o que corren el riesgo de serlo. La organización anima a estas escritoras a encontrar su voz y cultivar el liderazgo a través de talleres de escritura creativa. El trabajo de VFI se basa en principios fundamentales: «todo el mundo tiene una voz única y fuerte; todo el mundo nace con genio creativo; la escritura como forma de arte pertenece a todas las personas\, independientemente de su clase económica o nivel educativo; la enseñanza del oficio puede hacerse sin dañar la voz original del escritor o su autoestima artística y; un escritor es alguien que escribe». VFI también anima a sus participantes a compartir su trabajo en presentaciones\, conversaciones y actuaciones como parte de su iniciativa Voices Carry. El Museo Wistariahurst se complace en acoger una de estas presentaciones. La lectura de Voices from the Inside en Wistariahurst tendrá lugar el sábado 17 de mayo\, de 1:00 a 2:00.

Old New-Gate Prison & Copper Mine está reconocida como la primera mina de cobre del país (1707) y la primera prisión estatal (1773). «Esas distinciones no llegaron sin pruebas y tribulaciones»\, dice Bengel. «Las innumerables fugas de la prisión se prestan a una historia dramática\, con un impacto significativo para nuestra historia estatal y nacional». La Saga de New-Gate se celebrará el domingo 25 de mayo a las 12:30 en Wistariahurst. Este acto está patrocinado por la antigua prisión de New-Gate y el Consejo Cultural Local de Holyoke.

SUMMARY:MOURNING [a] BLKSTAR
DESCRIPTION:MOURNING [a] BLKSTAR is a multi-generational\, non-gender and non-genre confirming collective from Cleveland\, Ohio. They meld live instrumentation with harmonizing vocals and hip-hop production to share stories and experiences of the African Diaspora. Their sets are rooted in communing with the audience — an experience that is solidarizing\, heart-warming\, and vital for this moment. \nThe group’s seven members include musicians\, writers\, and multimedia artists. Their intricate arrangements\, rooted in jazz\, blues\, soul\, r&b\, and hip-hop\, are an afrofuturist examination of our cultural paradoxes that at times challenge; at times uplift — and constantly moor themselves in both sincerity and defiance. \nshapeshifters of the black experience\n“Because we’re predominantly a Black band\, we get pigeonholed into certain spaces\,” says singer LaToya Kent. “People will think you just do one thing.” \nIn reality\, the band goes pretty much everywhere. With three deeply soulful vocalists and a horn section\, they “draw on everything from spacey Afrofuturistic jazz to uplifting gospel-like vocals to apocalyptic hip-hop beats\, all underscored by a lyrical commitment to social and racial justice and healing.” (Noah Schaffer\, Boston Globe)

SUMMARY:Victory Players “Puerto Abierto (Open Port)"
DESCRIPTION:Join the MIFA Victory Players for an unforgettable evening of multifaceted music and dialogue exploring the legacy of the Caribbean. Located at De La Luz Soundstage in a cabaret-like setting\, this intimate LIVE performance will include world premieres of original works and articulation by composers Odaline de la Martinez\, Sonia Morales\, and Luis Quintana.

Pérez (Flute)\, Robert Rocheteau (Percussion)\, Eric Schultz (Clarinet)\, and Samuel Vargas (Violin) with Tianhui Ng\, Music Director. \n“Memorias” is based on my memories of Cuba as a young child and is in three movements: Prologo\, inspired by Afro-Cuban drums\, Atardecer (en Varadero)\, Sunset in Varadero\,  walks on a beautiful Cuban beach\, and Carnaval and its excitement with lots of dancing and singing. – Odaline de la Martinez\, composer \n“Divertimento Caribeño No. 7.”  will use rhythmic and melodic patterns derived from Puerto Rican and Caribbean culture. It will draw upon my experience as a folk and popular music performer while experimenting with the ensemble’s sound to create a unique musical experience.” – Sonia Ivette Morales-Matos\, composer \n“Midnight Rumba” – Luis Quintana\, composer

SUMMARY:P-Funk's Danny Bedrosian & Secret Army
DESCRIPTION:Danny Bedrosian\, longtime keyboardist for Parliament-Funkadelic\, brings his band Secret Army to De La Luz for a night of hard-hitting funk\, deep grooves\, and sharp musicianship. Known for blending P-Funk roots with experimental jazz\, hip-hop\, and progressive rock\, Bedrosian leads a powerhouse ensemble that pushes beyond nostalgia. Secret Army’s live sets are dynamic\, tight\, and unapologetically genre-bending — equal parts rhythm and message. \nWhether you’re a P-Funk diehard or just into music with teeth\, this one’s worth being in the room for. \nDanny Bedrosian is best known as the official keyboardist of George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic\, with whom he’s performed and recorded for over 20 years. A classically trained pianist with Armenian roots and a deep love for funk\, Bedrosian brings virtuosic command and fearless experimentation to every stage. \nSecret Army\, his longtime solo vehicle\, features a rotating lineup of elite players\, delivering compositions that are as complex as they are raw. With albums like Secret Army\, Songs for a Better Tomorrow\, and The Sleaziest of the Greaze\, the group continues to expand the language of modern funk while paying homage to its revolutionary legacy.
