SUMMARY:Book Group and Themed Meal - Bunker Hill: A City\, A Siege\, A Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Book Group and Themed Meal – Bunker Hill: A City\, A Siege\, A Revolution (book is by Nathaniel Philbrick).  The Holyoke Senior Center Book Club and Holyoke Preservation Trust are excited to invite you to an American-themed lunch and discussion of Nathaniel Philbrick’s Bunker Hill: A City\, A Siege\, A Revolution.  Join us on Wednesday July 8 2026 from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM.  Tickets are $3 for those over 60 and $6 for those under 60.  Tickets are available at the link.  ” \nBook Description: \nIn the opening volume of his acclaimed American Revolution series\, Nathaniel Philbrick turns his keen eye to pre-Revolutionary Boston and the spark that ignited the American Revolution. In the aftermath of the Boston Tea Party and the violence at Lexington and Concord\, the conflict escalated and skirmishes gave way to outright war in the Battle of Bunker Hill. It was the bloodiest conflict of the revolutionary war\, and the point of no return for the rebellious colonists. Philbrick gives us a fresh view of the story and its dynamic personalities\, including John Adams\, Samuel Adams\, John Hancock\, Paul Revere\, and George Washington. With passion and insight\, he reconstructs the revolutionary landscape—geographic and ideological—in a mesmerizing narrative of the robust\, messy\, blisteringly real origins of America.”

SUMMARY:Music for Healing | Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Music for Healing is a free exhibition of visual\, sound\, and performance art by interdisciplinary artist Angelica Olstad. At its center is Transmission (2025)\, a video work in which Olstad performs her original score at the piano while wearing an EEG machine\, making her brainwave activity visible in real time. A classically trained pianist\, Olstad collaborated with neuroscientists to better understand how music and movement can help regulate the nervous system and support healing and wellbeing in our minds and bodies. The installation includes original scores\, drawings\, and an interactive wall where visitors contribute their own reflections on healing. \nNo art or science background required. All are invited into the exhibit to sit\, listen\, move\, or simply rest. \nFree public programming runs throughout the exhibition\, including an opening reception with live performance (Friday\, July 17\, 6–9pm)\, a walking community sound bath\, a piano masterclass and listening session with the artist\, and a closing reception with an embodied movement workshop. \nVisit papercityclothingcompany.com for gallery hours and program details. \nOn view: July 17 – August 27 \nPaper City Clothing Company | 144 High St\, Holyoke\, MA 01040 \nFree & open to all \nVisit Paper City Clothing Company for gallery hours.
