SUMMARY:New York Voices & Portland Jazz Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by One Longfellow Square\, the Osher School of Music\, and the Portland Jazz Orchestra. \nThe New York Voices – soprano Kim Nazarian; alto Lauren Kinhan; baritone Peter Eldridge; and tenor\, saxophonist\, and musical director Darmon Meader – “The Four and Only\,” as the great Cuban saxophone and clarinet virtuoso Paquito D’Rivera once dubbed them\, have been one of the world’s elite jazz singing groups for 38 years. \nOver the years\, the New York Voices albums\, repertoire\, and concerts have evolved\, sometimes in surprising ways. The Voices embrace a diversity of styles\, from big band jazz to post-bop\, from Brazilian jazz to the singer-songwriter repertoire of Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder\, to their own tuneful originals. In the beginning\, their live shows featured a compact rhythm section\, and they had no plans to perform with big bands or symphony orchestras. That changed in the fall of 1994 when the group was invited to sing two songs with the Count Basie Orchestra at Carnegie Hall. \nThe Voices have multiple recordings with big bands and have developed a diverse and extensive library of arrangements that feature this sort of collaboration. For decades\, they have performed all over the world\, including concerts and tours with the WDR and SWR Big Bands in Germany\, the Metropole Orchestra in the Netherlands\, the USAF Airmen of Note\, Norway’s Trondheim Jazz Orchestra\, and many other notable orchestras\, including the Portland Jazz Orchestra. \nNow\, after nearly four decades of concerts\, world tours\, 11 landmark albums under their own name\, and high-profile collaborations with international jazz masters\, this Grammy Award winning group will be performing with the Portland Jazz Orchestra as part of their Grand Finale tour. If you have not had the pleasure of seeing the New York Voices perform with the Portland Jazz Orchestra\, this show will be your last chance as the Voices will be “hanging up their mics” at the completion of this 2026 tour. \n“We want to go out on a high note\,” said Darmon. “This band has taken us all over the world\, from intimate clubs\, to concert halls with big bands and symphony orchestras\, to international festivals where we’ve performed for thousands.  And it’s given us countless opportunities to work with many of the greatest names in jazz. In our final months as a group\, we’ll continue to travel the globe on our Grand Finale tour so that our fans will have one more chance to see and hear us live.” \nThe New York Voices and the Portland Jazz Orchestra will play one last show together. Please join them at the Westbrook Performing Arts Center\, 471 Stroudwater Street\, Westbrook\, ME 04092. 7:30 pm show. Tickets are available at: \nhttps://onelongfellowsquare.com/event/nyvoices-pjo/ \n  \nDoors open an hour before showtime.\nADVANCE PURCHASE: $20 (+ fees)\nADVANCE PURCHASE SENIORS + STUDENTS: $10 (+ fees)\nDAY OF SHOW: $25 (+ fees)\nDAY OF SHOW SENIORS + STUDENTS: $15 (+ fees)

SUMMARY:Le petit rassemblement des artistes franco-américains: A celebration of modern expression
DESCRIPTION:The Franco-American Collection at the University of Southern Maine invites you to join us at USM’s Lewiston campus\, 51 Westminster St. on Saturday\, November 21\, 2026 at 9:30 am for a day-long event featuring a panel discussion of Franco-American creatives and workshops with local artists and writers. The event is free and open to the public\, thanks to our generous sponsors\, Maine PoutineFest\, Central Maine Federal Credit Union\, Schooner Estates\, and the Quebec Delegation in Boston. We ask that you RSVP at least one week ahead of the event! \nThe day will begin with a panel discussion with presenters Joseph Bolton\, Cindy Larock\, Jean Pouliot and Jeri Thériault discussing how their Franco-American identity informs their artistic practice. Following the panel\, there will be a Q&A with the presenters and a break for lunch\, which will be provided. After lunch\, the four panelists will lead their workshops: two at a time for 75 minutes each. Attendees will need to select which workshop they’d like to attend. We’ll begin the first two workshops at 1 pm\, followed by two more presentations at 2:30 pm. \n  \nPresenters & Workshop Descriptions: \n  \nJoseph Bolton was born in Pawtucket\, Rhode Island and growing up enjoyed hearing the stories told by his French Canadian grandparents and great aunts of a mysterious and magical place called Québec\, otherwise known as “the place we came from.” Joseph is of French-Canadian/Canadian First Nations ancestry and is inspired by the stories of his heritage. He lives in Massachusetts and enjoys hiking and skiing through Québec and New England landscapes. He has been featured on podcasts in the United States and Canada\, and Dance of Creation is the third volume of his acclaimed Old Grandmother’s Tree book series. Joseph’s workshop will focus on rediscovering your family stories and how the folklore style of storytelling tells deeper universal truths of human life. \n  \nCindy Larock has been teaching and leading traditional dancing for over 40 years\, ranging from instructing numerous apprentices as a master artist in the Maine Arts Commission’s Traditional Arts Apprenticeship program to presenting workshops at festivals\, schools\, and community events. She has also mentored young fiddlers\, etc.\, via a youth folk orchestra she founded in 2014. At Cindy’s workshop\, Keeping the Franco Flame Alive Through Music & Dance\, attendees will learn about what defines traditional French Canadian/Franco-American music and the dancing that it inspires\, and will also have a chance to try their hands (and feet!) at doing some Quebecois social dancing. \n  \nJean Pouliot: Born into a French-speaking parish in Manchester\, New Hampshire in the 1950s\, Jean experienced Vatican II\, French-Canadian culture in crisis and the political tumult of the 1960s. Jean’s songs\, stories\, and poems examine\, express\, and share his heritage. He holds a Bachelor’s in psychology and a Master’s degree in Catholic ministry. He is married with two grown sons\, is retired after forty years in the Technology field\, and lives in New England. His books can be found on Amazon and Substack. Jean’s workshop will guide attendees through his four-step method for translating English to French with the assistance of Google’s free version of artificial intelligence (AI). He will lead with a short lecture on AI\, its perils and its promise\, and how he navigates them. His method not only results in translated copy but provides the user with a practical tutorial in French for a work they care about\, be it a book or a letter to a French-speaking friend or family member. Users will encounter real-world examples of French grammar\, idioms\, spelling rules (e.g.\, where accents are needed) and more. AI’s real-time translation power allows users to try different solutions quickly without exhausting a human teacher’s patience. *Attendees will need to bring a piece of writing to translate and a laptop or tablet.* \n  \nJeri Thériault grew up in Waterville\, Maine. Her poetry collections include Self-Portrait as Homestead\, Radost\, my red\, and (M)OTHER. She is the editor of the anthology Wait: Poems from the Pandemic and the current poetry editor for Résonance. Her poems and reviews have appeared widely. Her honors include A Fulbright Exchange Award\, a Maine Arts Commission Individual Artist Fellowship\, a Monson Arts Fellowship\, the 2022 Norwood Prize (New Ohio Review)\, and a Maine Literary Award. Jeri currently conducts cross-disciplinary workshops and collaborates with musicians and other poets in a group called MuseMusic. Jeri’s workshop\,  Using Research and/or Current Events in Creative Writing Projects\, relates to her ongoing research and writing about pre-deportation Acadian life.  Participants will discuss examples of poems and creative nonfiction or essays by authors such as Susan Howe\, Alison Hawthorn Deming\, and Ada Limón\, all of whom use research and or current events in their creative work. Workshop participants will then have one or two opportunities to begin drafts inspired by these prompts and handouts. We’ll end the workshop by sharing some of these drafts (volunteers only!). \n  \nZoom and recorded for those unable to join us live or in-person. Email Anna for more information at anna.faherty@maine.edu. \n  \nFor in-person attendance\, registration is required. Here’s a link to the registration form: https://forms.gle/NoxVw7KmTmUyD1o59.  We ask that you RSVP at least one week ahead of the event! \n  \nFor more information or to register for this event\, contact the FAC archivist\, Anna Faherty at anna.faherty@maine.edu or by phone (207) 753-6545. If you have questions about disability access or need to request disability accommodations (e.g. sign language interpreters\, materials in electronic format\, etc.)\, please contact Anna. Requests should be made as soon as possible to allow sufficient time for the accommodation process.

SUMMARY:Birth Of The Solar System
DESCRIPTION:How did our solar system originate? What chain of events led to its creation? Just as detectives look for traces of evidence to solve a mystery\, astronomers analyze the evidence that points to the formation of the Sun and planets. In particular\, they study the influence that impacts and collisions had on the worlds of the solar system. The most dramatic evidence for this collisional history of solar system evolution are the impact craters found on almost all the bodies in the solar system\, including Earth. These surface scars tell us the formation history of planets\, moons\, and rings was violent. Yet today\, we live in a relatively stable solar system\, made possible by the shattering collisions that shaped our worlds. Show length: 21 minutes

SUMMARY:Birth Of The Solar System
DESCRIPTION:How did our solar system originate? What chain of events led to its creation? Just as detectives look for traces of evidence to solve a mystery\, astronomers analyze the evidence that points to the formation of the Sun and planets. In particular\, they study the influence that impacts and collisions had on the worlds of the solar system. The most dramatic evidence for this collisional history of solar system evolution are the impact craters found on almost all the bodies in the solar system\, including Earth. These surface scars tell us the formation history of planets\, moons\, and rings was violent. Yet today\, we live in a relatively stable solar system\, made possible by the shattering collisions that shaped our worlds. Show length: 21 minutes
