The Irish woman who was the last 'witch' to be hanged during the Salem Witch Trials
Ann "Goody" Glover was an Irish Catholic washerwoman executed in Boston in 1688 — four years before the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Her case, driven by religious prejudice against Catholics, language barriers, and unsubstantiated spectral evidence, helped lay the groundwork for America's most notorious witch-hunt

Baroque Highlights at Trinity in Lakeville
This past Sunday at Trinity Episcopal Church, Crescendo, under the direction of Christine Gevert, produced a program under the title Gallant Fire,” centering the playlist around a recently discovered choral work by Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741). This was the American premiere of this work (the only choral work of Vivaldi that we have). Vivaldi claimed to have composed 94 operas, but we have only the titles of 51 operas and none of the scores. Vivaldi was a violin prodigy at the age of eleven when he began playing in his father’s orchestra; he became the most famous violinist and composer of his era.

Lights Out at the Gardner
Alarm Will Sound, one of New York’s premiere new music chamber orchestras, performed in the Thursday Night Music series at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Calderwood Hall, October 29th, 2026. Rather than presenting a concert of multiple works, conductor Alan Pierson lead AWS through Georg Friedrich Haas’s towering 2000 work in vain, one of the most talked-about pieces of the Spectralist catalogue. Heavily inspired by the work of Tristan Murail, the concert-filling 70-minute work also famously requires changes in the hall lighting to reflect its programmatic material, plunging the hall into darkness, even sans stand lights for performers and conductor, forcing musicians to memorize the music and play in the dark.
