SUMMARY:Old Salem in Ballad and Song with Bob and Jen Strom
DESCRIPTION:Robert Strom\, a local historian\, author\, and folk singer\, will bring to you songs and ballads that reflect Salem’s diverse musical heritage. Each song\, with roots in Salem\, gives a hint of Salem’s past and its influence in helping to shape America\, both economically and socially\, while many sea songs reflect Salem’s rich maritime history and its relationship to the sea. Bob will use primary sourced documents such as Salem broadsides and ballads\, vintage photographs\, Seamen’s journals\, and newspaper clippings that give a historical perspective of each song\, with a live performance of selected numbers with his wife and musical partner\, Jennifer. \n  \nThe program will begin with the song\, “I Come From Salem City\,” written in 1848 and first sung as merchant and philanthropist John Bertram’s ship The Eliza leaves Derby Wharf on its way to San Francisco for the gold rush. We will discuss Salem Sea Captain Edward B. Trumbull and his contribution of sea shanties and ballads to James M. Carpenter’s Harvard thesis\, Forecastle Songs and Chanteys\, which he published in 1929. We will study the “Broadside Ballad\, The Salem Tragedy\,” a shocking tragedy that occurred in Salem Harbor on Thursday\, the 17th day of June\, 1773 and touch on musician Henry O. Upton and his composition Pyncheon Lane Caprice part\, of The House of the Seven Gables Series. \n  \nSponsored by Salem Historical Society. \n  \n> Click here to register <\n  \nABOUT THE PRESENTER \nBob Strom\, a local folk musician\, developed a love for the local history of Salem\, his adopted city. This interest led to a further passion for exploring Salem’s rich musical heritage and with that passion\, he created a two-volume music collection titled Old Salem in Ballad and Song and Old Salem at Sea in Ballad and Song. Bob’s newest project is a sea music collection\, called The Unique Book of Songs of the Sea\, which documents variations of sea songs and sea shanties culled from newspaper. Bob is an avid gardener and lover of the outdoors and nature. He and his wife Jennifer have recorded two CDs of folk music from Ireland\, England\, and America called ‘round the Bend and Heading Home. bobandjenstrom.com

SUMMARY:More Weight: A Graphic Novel Release with Ben Wickey
DESCRIPTION:“Every word is an accusation…and every whisper kills.” This staggering graphic novel explores the infamous Salem witch trials and the long shadows they cast more than 300 years later. \n  \nIn Salem\, Massachusetts\, 1692 is a year of terror. When accusations of witchcraft plunge the community into paranoia and death\, curmudgeonly farmer Giles Corey and his great-souled wife Martha are forced to confront their troubled pasts\, fighting to hold onto their principles even at the cost of their lives. In the 1860s\, famed writers Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow stroll the streets of Salem together\, reflecting on their own dark connections to those wicked days. Today\, graphic novelist Ben Wickey wrestles with the complex legacy of “the Witch City” and what it shows us about the best and worst of humanity. \n  \nBased on true events\, set in three centuries\, and hand-drawn over a decade\, More Weight is a stunning visual symphony — a unique and profound inquiry into the infamous Salem witch trials and the long shadows they still cast on us all. \n  \n> CLICK HERE TO REGISTER <\n  \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nCourtesy Ben Wickey\nBen Wickey is a Massachusetts-born artist\, writer\, and animator who graduated from the California Institute of the Arts.

SUMMARY:My Dear Sister: Nathaniel Hawthorne And His Sisters
DESCRIPTION: A lecture by author Kris Hansen\n  \nThis lecture includes a comparison of the opposing personalities of Elizabeth Manning Hawthorne and her 6-year-younger sister\, Maria Louisa\, with excerpts from personal letters to illustrate their individual qualities. Extracts from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s writings provide examples where he possibly modelled specific traits of fictional characters from his sisters\, such as Hepzibah and Phoebe in The House of the Seven Gables. \nExtracts from letters\, journal entries\, and reminiscences from family and friends reveal Hawthorne’s relationship with his sisters. Their interactions changed over the years as they each matured\, particularly after the blossoming courtship between Hawthorne and Sophia Peabody. Regardless of the personal challenges\, the brother and two sisters learned to navigate their interactions by accommodating their differences in expectations. \nThe emergence of Hawthorne’s success as a writer was clouded by the harrowing circumstances surrounding the untimely and tragic death of one of his sisters. The lecture mentions the fates of Hawthorne\, his wife\, children\, and his surviving sister. He dutifully supported this sister for almost 19 years beyond his death\, thus fulfilling his mother’s deathbed directive for him to take care of his sisters. \n  \nTickets are $25 for the general public and $20 for Gables members. The book will be available for purchase in the Museum Store. \n  \n\n> Click here to register <\n\n\nAbout the Presenter  \n \nKris A. Hansen grew up in the Hudson Valley of New York State. Her business career centered on domestic and international corporate finance\, business journalism\, including writing a biweekly business column\, and university instruction in finance\, economics\, and financial accounting. \nA lifelong interest in the humanities\, especially literature\, classical music\, and American history\, led Hansen to write historical\, factually based books. Her non-fiction book Death Passage on the Hudson: The Wreck of the Henry Clay focused on a significant but little-known disaster in New York State\, which resulted in congressional maritime legislation. The research for this true narrative sparked her interest in the sisters of Nathaniel Hawthorne and writing the biography My Dear Sister: Nathaniel Hawthorne and His Sisters. \nHansen’s lifetime enjoyment of outdoor activities includes swimming\, bicycling and kayaking. She and her husband are avid hikers\, especially in United States and Canadian national parks.
