Second Sunday Speaker Series: Uncas, Hero or Villain - Oct 12 at 1:15 PM

Join Historical Commission Chair Alan Earls for a slide show exploration of this complex and crucial, Colonial-era leader whose name adorns a town pond and multiple roads in Franklin. 

Uncas helped to give the Mohegan tribe of Connecticut its own identity and culture, which survives to this day, but has drawn criticism for his cooperation with invading English settlers. We will dive into his life and times and his legacy in a 45-minute talk. 

The program starts at 1:15.  The museum is open from 1-4 and admission is free. 

The Franklin Historical Museum is located at 80 West Central Street, Franklin. The museum is open Saturday mornings from 10AM-1PM (except as noted above), Sunday afternoons from 1:00PM-4:00PM, and, experimentally, Thursday from noon to  5 PM. 

When visiting the museum, please consider donating a non-perishable item for the Franklin Food Pantry.    Questions? Contact Alan Earls at 508 560 3786.   Visit us online at https://www.franklinmuseum1778.org

Announcing the resurgence of the LiveARTS String Quartet!

Sunday, November 16 at 3:00pm

Dear music lover, Hello! I'm Donald Krishnaswami, former longtime board member and performer at LiveARTS, our highly regarded and beloved Franklin-based chamber music series. As you will recall, LiveARTS recently announced its dissolution, after enriching the community with performances of the highest professional caliber for over two decades.  As LiveARTS closes its doors, I am very excited to announce that the LiveARTS String Quartet, familiar to you from its long-time residency at LiveARTS, is making a comeback and embarking on a dynamic new chapter as an independent ensemble!  And I am thrilled to announce that, coming this November, the LiveARTS String Quartet will perform an inaugural concert as a separate entity! Keep scrolling! The LiveARTS String Quartet in concert Sunday, November 16 at 3:00 PM Franklin Historical Museum 80 West Central Street, Franklin MA The program will include masterpieces by Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms As a special gift to our community for this inaugural concert, admission will be free of charge, with voluntary donations gratefully received at the door.  The LiveARTS String Quartet features Katherine Winterstein and Gregory Vitale, violins, Donald Krishnaswami, viola, and guest cellist Emmanuel Feldman (inset). Pictured with the Quartet is its regular cellist, Jan Mueller-Szeraws. Important -- please read on! This single concert is part of a larger initiative! Currently, there is no top-caliber professional string quartet resident in and dedicated specifically to bringing live classical music to Franklin and the surrounding region. The LASQ aims to fill this void, providing a significant boost to the artistic culture and prestige of the area. Our goal is to establish a regular annual concert series in Franklin, featuring at least four concerts per season, with the potential for more -- all performed by the LiveARTS String Quartet, with occasional guest artists.  If you are excited at the prospect of the LASQ growing out of the foundation that LiveARTS built, we would love to have you join forces with us as a pioneer donor. Become one of the first to help establish the LASQ as a permanent presence in the community! You may donate via the LASQ's Gofundme campaign Donate here Your gift in any amount shown on the Gofundme page will be most gratefully received!  Your support is critical to the establishment of the LiveARTS String Quartet as a cultural presence in the community. Thank you so much for your gift -- either via the Gofundme campaign or at the door on November 16. Please donate and help us bring back the LiveARTS String Quartet! Again, here is the link!  ->  Donate here We'd like to see as many music lovers as possible at this inaugural concert! So -- whether or not you're able to donate, we're excited to think that you might be one of them! Again: Sunday, November 16 at 3:00 p.m. Franklin Historical Museum 80 West Central Street, Franklin Admission to this single concert will be free of charge, with voluntary donations gratefully received at the door And just one more thing -- we'd love to hear from you with an RSVP if you plan to attend the concert. And even if you won't be able to attend, we'd love to hear from you about how excited you are that the LASQ is coming back!
