SUMMARY:Baltimore Unity Suppers: Finding Our Flowers — The Power of Cultural Roots in Our Artistic Expressions
DESCRIPTION:Breaking bread together is a powerful way to get to know someone\, learn other’s stories\, and build community. This month\, Baltimore Unity Suppers will spotlight artistic expression from various cultural backgrounds\, celebrating how our ancestry\, identities\, and lived experiences shape the stories we tell and the art we create. Highlighting these expressions is not only a way to honor where we come from\, it’s also a powerful act of connection and freedom.

SUMMARY:Springwell Senior Living to Honor Peabody Musicians-In-Residence
DESCRIPTION:Springwell Senior Living will host a special celebration on Monday\, May 19\, at 2 p.m. to mark the 10th anniversary of its groundbreaking partnership with the Peabody Institute’s Musician-in-Residence (MIR) program. \nHeld in Springwell’s chapel\, the event will feature a retrospective program led by current MIR and internationally acclaimed pianist Myroslav Mykhailenko\, honoring each of the Peabody Conservatory musicians who have called Springwell home over the past decade. \nThe celebration will include a combination of live music\, in-person appearances and video messages from past musicians\, residents and staff. Former MIRs will reflect on their experiences\, and residents will share how the power of music has touched their lives. \nSpringwell was the first community to host a Peabody student musician in 2015 when guitarist Julien Xuereb helped pilot the MIR concept\, now a cornerstone of Peabody’s community engagement and experiential learning portfolios. Since then\, MIRs included cellists\, guitarists\, flutists\, lutenists and pianists\, all bringing live performances\, open rehearsals and spontaneous musical moments into the everyday lives of Springwell’s residents. \nThe May 19 event will highlight all seven musicians who have served as MIRs at Springwell\, including: Xuereb (guitar)\, Sarah Lynn (baroque flute\, remembered in tribute)\, Elias Leceta Gomez-Nebreda (cello)\, Cameron Welke (lute)\, Evanghelina Ciobanu (cello)\, Andres Felipe Palacios Rodas (guitar)\, and Mykhailenko (piano). \nPeabody’s MIR program\, now active in several senior living communities across Baltimore\, is part of a broader effort to redefine music education for the 21st century — offering young musicians housing in exchange for regular performances and enriching intergenerational engagement. \nThe celebration will close with a short concert featuring Mykhailenko and two of his fellow MIR alumni performing side by side. \nSpringwell Senior Living is located at 2211 W. Rogers Avenue in Mount Washington. For information or to attend the event\, visit springwellseniorliving.com or contact Samantha@c-360.agency \n  \n

Shashar is a lecturer at the Sapir Academic College and the author of several volumes including Not on Bread Alone: The Krell Murachovski Family Histories. \nThe Marital Knot is a Brandeis University Press publication in the Brandeis Series on Gender\, Culture\, Religion\, and Law\, created under the auspices of HBI in conjunction with its Project on Gender\, Culture\, Religion\, and the Law\, and The Tauber Institute Series for the Study of European Jewry.
