NAMI Family-to-Family is a free, 8-session educational program for family and friends of adults living with mental health conditions.

On 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟴𝘁𝗵, The Sunrise Rotary Club of Bath presents a special screening of 𝑩𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆: 𝑬𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔, a powerful documentary from Kane-Lewis Productions that sheds light on the human stories of homelessness, illuminating a path forward.

Homelessness is often misunderstood and unseen, yet it affects individuals and families in every community, including ours. Building Hope sheds light on the human stories behind the statistics, showing us that homelessness can happen to anyone, yet also that there is a path forward. Through deeply moving personal narratives, the film reveals not only the struggles of those without stable housing but also the resilience, dignity, and hope that persist in the face of hardship.

This event is more than just a film screening—it’s a call to awareness and action. Following the film, there will be a panel discussion featuring representatives from local organizations such as Tedford Housing, Bath Housing, Midcoast Youth Center, and others working tirelessly to address homelessness in our region. Together, they will share insights, answer questions, and explore ways we can unite as a community to ensure everyone has a safe place to call home.

Nicknamed for the king of the Roman gods, Mozart’s iconic final symphony is full of striking drama and moments of musical perfection, regarded by many as among the greatest symphonies in classical music. Brilliant, expansive, and radiant with clarity, it channels complexity into grace, reconciling tension with poise.

This program opens with Missy Mazzoli’s Music for Orbiting Spheres: “music in the shape of a solar system.” With pulsing rhythms and luminous textures, it evokes both the mystery and the inevitability of celestial motion—a sound world both mechanical and strangely human.

Bridging the span from cosmic to psychological is Barber’s Medea’s Meditation and Dance of Vengeance. Based on Euripides’ tragic heroine, the piece traces a descent from brooding stillness into violent release. Medea’s fury feels at once mythic and disturbingly human—an emotional orbit governed not by reason, but by primal urge and near-mechanical compulsion. There’s no redemption here, only the spiraling gravity of vengeance.

PROGRAM:

MISSY MAZZOLI Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres)

BARBER Medea’s Meditation and Dance of Vengeance

MOZART Symphony No. 41 “Jupiter”
