Performing Arts Center Is Essential Element

Editor’s note: The following letter was read to the high school committee on Monday. My name is Abigail Chandler. I have been a music teacher at MVRHS since 2009 and department chair since 2018. I am an alumnus of the Edgartown School and MVRHS, where I was involved in the band and choral programs. My own children are students here, one who is currently a sophomore and the other who will be a freshman next year. They have both been involved in Island public music programs since third grade. I have been the Island-wide performing arts teacher leader since the beginning of that program, and have worked closely with my colleagues in the elementary schools in strings, band, theatre and general music.

New Bedford national park, center of city culture, turns 30 | Exclusive

When most people picture a national park, they think of sprawling mountain ranges, towering forests or miles of untouched wilderness. Thirty years ago, New Bedford became home to a different kind of national park, one right in the heart of downtown. Instead of mountains and forests, New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park spans 13 city blocks, woven into the streets, historic buildings and waterfront that helped make the city one of the most important whaling ports in the world. Established on Nov. 12, 1996, the park is now celebrating three decades of preserving New Bedford's history and sharing the stories of the people who helped shape the city. Over the years, its mission has grown well beyond whaling, shining a light on the people, cultures, industries and events that made New Bedford the city it is today. "Celebrating 30 years is a significant milestone for New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park," said Laurel A. Racine, the park's superintendent. "It represents three decades of preserving the park's rich history, sharing its stories, and connecting visitors with the people and places that shaped this community."

Falco and Book put the focus on Garcia's songs The concert, called "Falco & Book Play Garcia," grew from Falco and Book's shared appreciation for Garcia's music. Both musicians are members of the Grammy Award-winning bluegrass band The Infamous Stringdusters. Their duo draws from Garcia's solo work, the Grateful Dead catalog and traditional songs he performed. With only guitar, bass and vocals, Falco and Book perform without a set list, allowing them to improvise and explore the songs in a stripped-down setting. "Performing this music as a duo allows us to explore the songs and jam in a way that’s unique," Book said. "We typically hear these songs in larger ensembles, but the songs done with just bass and guitar make the melodies and lyrics stand out, without any distraction or
