John Cage Sonatas & Interludes
2025-10-25 19:00 - 20:15 | Performance Hall — Crewe Center for the Arts, 111 Bedford St, Portland, ME, 04101, United States
Pianist Bridget Convey presents a one-of-a-kind concert experience featuring John Cage’s Sonatas and Interludes—a set of short pieces for a specially prepared piano.
To create the unique sounds in this music, everyday objects like screws, rubber, and bolts are placed between the piano strings. The result? A mix of soft, mysterious, and percussive tones that turn the piano into something completely new. Written in the 1940s, this music is calm, curious, and full of surprises.
Interested in a deeper dive into Cage’s music? Join Convey from 4–5 P.M. before the performance for an exclusive, free masterclass.

Tickets available through PortTIX, the official box office for the Osher School of Music.

Connor has been having nightmares. Or rather, THE nightmare. It jolts him awake every night seven minutes after midnight ever since his mother got sick. Tonight, Connor wakes up to a different nightmare. The ancient Yew Tree in his yard has come to life and demands to be heard. This monster informs Connor that he will tell him three stories, one a night, and all true. After that, Connor must tell his. A Monster Calls is a stunning spectacle that reckons with loss, grief, and the stories we tell to make sense of the unimaginable.
Show length: 2h 20m with intermission
Best for grades 5 & up
Content advisory: Contains sensitive themes of terminal illness, the loss of a parent, and bullying

Green Zone Training (Virtual)
2025-10-27 14:00 - 16:00 | Zoom meeting
The Green Zone Military Cultural Awareness Training Program familiarizes staff and faculty with military life and how it can translate to a student’s post-service (or mid-service) education experience. This program was developed by student veterans and M.A.S.H. staff to share information about the unique experiences and challenges of student veterans and service members, as well as the resources available for their support.

The 2-hour session is led by student veterans with support from M.A.S.H. staff. Facilitators present an informational slideshow and lead interactive scenarios and discussion. Upon completing the training, participants can display the Green Zone symbol physically or digitally, identifying them as military-friendly (similar to the LGBTQ+ Safe Zone Project decal).

The Don Nicoll Memorial Lecture Series Inaugural Event
Public Service in Challenging Times
In today’s increasingly complex world, what is public service? What is its role and value in Maine? When divisiveness dominates the headlines, how are communities meeting the moment to address shared challenges?
Join us at the USM Muskie School of Public Service Don Nicoll Memorial Lecture Series for our inaugural panel of Maine community leaders, who will address these questions and share their insights in the context of their work to end homelessness in Maine.
Dr. Richard Maiman will provide an introduction to Don and his life’s work. Panelists Terry Sutton is the board president of Preble Street and Charles ‘Wick’ Johnson is the chair of Augusta Homelessness Task Force. They have both dedicated much of their careers to public service and community building in Maine. Jennifer Hutchins will moderate the discussion. Jennifer is Executive Director of the Maine Association of Nonprofits, the state’s leading organization for Maine’s charitable nonprofit sector with more than 1,200 members from all 16 counties.
This series is in honor of Don Nicoll, a long-time advisor to Maine state government and other public institutions, including the University of Maine System and former U.S. Senator Edmund S. Muskie. Don also served both as Chair and member of the Muskie School Board of Visitors.
Program:
4:30 – 5:00 pm Reception
5:00 – 5:30 pm Introductions and remarks from Dr. Richard Maiman
5:30 – 6:30 pm Panel discussion & Q&A
