A monthly gathering in our library to discuss books and big ideas. This October, we're reading Deborah Archer's "Dividing Lines"

One of Yankee Magazine's top five cemetery tours in New England! Walk Portland's Old Burying Ground with a trained guide. Hallowed? Not officially. Historic? Absolutely. Haunted? You decide. Visit the cemetery's unique field of underground tombs, the oldest gravemarker from 1717, the final resting place of the famed Captains of the 1813 battle between the Boxer and the Enterprise, and the interesting carvings of Portland's first stone-cutter, Bartlett Adams. Tours include early gravestone art, important local historic figures, Portland's historic events, and the landscape of this National Historic Landmark, including segregated sections for Black people, Catholics, Quakers, and strangers. Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the ground is uneven once we leave the main pathway. Tours are held unless the weather is stormy.

Rising star Randall Goosby helps kick off the new century of the PSO, appearing in the opening concert of its 101st season.

Acclaimed for his “exquisite tone and sheer virtuosity” (The New York Times), Goosby has performed with notable orchestras across the country, including the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, and Boston Symphony Orchestra. Here he joins the PSO to perform Tchaikovsky’s only violin concerto—athletic and dramatic, full of passion, irresistible lyricism, and impressive turns.

As counterpoint to Tchaikovsky is Brahms’ triumphant First Symphony with rich harmonies and victorious finales.
