Greetings!
We cannot all be artists, but art can have an impact--often an unexpected impact--in
all of our lives.  The effects of "rubbing shoulders with art" will be a topic that
Cambridge Forum explores in some depth over the winter and spring.  And in November
Stephen Wade gives us a preview of lives touched by art when he talks about his 
book The Beautiful Music All Around Us.
Join us this month as Cambridge Forum brings you a chance to reflect on the power
of music and the lure of our digital devices and the ways they can shape our future.

The Beautiful Music All Around Us:

Field Recordings and the American Experience

November 13 @ 7pm

Musician and author Stephen Wade tells the stories  of the ordinary people who recorded
live music for the Library of  Congress during the 1930s and '40s.  Who were these
folk musicians, and  what role did music play in their lives?  How did they contribute
to our  understanding of folk culture? Maggie Holtzberg moderates.

Co-sponsored by Passim and Folk New England.

The App Generation

Monday, November 18 @ 7 pm

Famed Harvard psychologist
Howard Gardner and
Katie Davis of the University of Washington's Information School discuss the ways
in which digital media are changing the way young people learn and relate to the
 world.  Focusing on adolescents, they explore what it means to be "app-dependent"
versus "app-enabled."  How does life for this generation differ from life before
 the digital age?  What downsides do they see to young people's deep involvement
 with apps?  What benefits?

Bunker Hill and the Crisis of Leadership in Revolutionary America

Nathaniel Philbrick, author of Bunker Hill: A City, A Siege, A Revolution, shares
a conversation with J.L. Bell on the bloody battle in Charlestown on June 17, 1775.
This encounter exposed leadership problems for both British and American forces 
and stirred up bitter arguments that echoed for decades. Even as the fighting took
place, the Continental Congress in Philadelphia was choosing a new commander. What
qualities did George Washington bring to the American army licking its wounds outside
Boston?
Co-sponsored by the National Park Service, Longfellow House-Washington's Headquarters
National Historic Site and Boston National Historical Park; the Friends of the Longfellow
House-Washington's Headquarters; and the Cambridge Historical Society.

December 11 @ 7pm
