From Bonnie Raitt to Billie Eilish: Making Live Music Greener
2026-03-09 17:30 - 18:30 | Distler Performance Hall, Granoff Music Center, Tufts University, 20 Talbot Ave., Medford, MA, 02155, United States
Learn how your favorite musicians and festivals are going green behind the scenes!

Join a special conversation with the 2026 recipients of the Lyon & Bendheim Citizenship Award, Lauren Sullivan, J96 and Adam Gardner, A95, on the green music movement and the powerful role music can play in driving positive change. After seeing firsthand how musicians’ can have a unique impact on environmental campaigns and recognizing the environmental footprint of concerts and festivals, Lauren Sullivan and her musician husband, Adam Gardner (guitarist/vocalist for popular indie band Guster, which formed at Tufts and played its first show in Lewis Hall), founded REVERB in 2004 to create a more sustainable, action-oriented music industry.
Over 20 years later, REVERB’s impact has been extraordinary. The organization has raised over $21 million for environmental causes, eliminated 4.5 million plastic bottles, neutralized 420,000 metric tons of CO2E, “greened” over 350 tours, and inspired millions of fans to take action—all while pioneering the green music movement. Lauren and Adam are Co-Founders and Co-Executive Directors of REVERB, which was named Official Music and Public Engagement Partner to the United Nations Environment Programme in 2018.
The conversation with Lauren and Adam will be moderated by special guest and fellow Tufts alumnus, Madeline Weir, A20, REVERB’s Director of Impact. Join us for this inspiring opportunity to hear from Tufts alumni who have transformed the music industry and mobilized a global community to protect our planet.
This event is cosponsored by the Environmental Studies Program, the Music Department, and the Office of Alumni Engagement. All are welcome.

Music Together® Joyful Music
2026-03-11 09:45 - 10:30 | Arts Collaborative Medford, 162 Mystic Ave., Medford, MA, 02155, United States
Each week in Music Together® Mixed-Age Classes at Joyful Music, babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and the grownups who love them® gather for 45 minutes of fun-filled family music time. Your teacher will lead you and the other families in music activities ranging from lullabies to full-on jam sessions (with child-friendly instruments, of course!). It’s so much fun you won’t realize how much learning is taking place!
You’ll take home the award-winning music used in class, along with an illustrated songbook and other resources. As you discover new ways to play with music all week long, you’ll be supporting your child’s music-learning and overall development—even if you don’t think of yourself as a great singer or dancer.
Why mixed ages?
Child development researchers discovered that grouping children of different ages in one class encourages natural, family-style learning, so Music Together developed the Mixed-Age Music Class. In this class, everyone participates at their own levels: babies vocalize, listen, and observe; toddlers play and experiment; and preschoolers build confidence as they emerge as classroom leaders. Grownups are happy because everyone can come to class together!

In March we’ll feature Jorge Luis Borges of Argentina and Philip Larkin of England.
This free salon-style series welcomes everyone—whether you’re well-versed in poetry or simply curious. Drop in for one session or all; each 90-minute meetup stands on its own. Prior experience with poetry will be helpful but isn’t required. An interest in innovative techniques, tolerance for ambiguity, and appreciation of different points of view will also be helpful.
Emphasis will be given to poets who bore witness to social upheaval and shaped modern literature with their responses to historical events. We will take a global perspective and include many writers in different languages who have been translated into English. Brief introductions to the poets will be offered, but no stuffy lectures; we’ll make connections and discoveries together through our sharing of questions and observations.
Hosted by Gary Roberts, a poet and co-founder of Arts Collaborative Medford, as part of our literary arts initiative. Bring your coffee, tea, or notebook and join us for a relaxed, open conversation about how poetry can reflect, resist, and reimagine the world around us.

The High Kings: The Rocky Road Tour
2026-03-14 20:00 - 22:00 | Chevalier Theatre, 30 Forest St., Medford, MA, 02155
Ireland’s leading folk group, The High Kings, are set to excite fans once again with the announcement of their Rocky Road Tour 2026.
As global ambassadors of Irish heritage and storytelling, The High Kings have consistently brought the timeless tradition of folk music to audiences worldwide, earning them chart-topping success and widespread acclaim. With their signature blend of classic tradition and modern edge, The Rocky Road Tour promises to be a vibrant showcase of Irish culture, energy, and musicality.
Following a record-breaking 2024 – including a sold-out world tour, a feature on Disney’s critically acclaimed Only Murders in The Building, and over 5 million weekly streams – the band are showing no signs of slowing down. Their momentum continued in 2025 with a string of sold-out U.S. tour dates, culminating in a headline performance at the legendary Troubadour in Los Angeles on March 23rd, after stops in Kansas, Nashville, St. Paul, St. Louis, New York, New Hampton, Glen Ellen, Ridgefield, Alexandria, and more.
But it was their inclusion on the soundtrack of Sinners—the current #1 movie worldwide, starring Michael B. Jordan and directed by Ryan Coogler—that marked a defining moment in their global recognition. The film’s soundtrack, already topping international streaming charts, was curated by Oscar- and Grammy-winning composer Ludwig Göransson (Oppenheimer, The Mandalorian, Black Panther), a long-time admirer of The High Kings’ distinctive vocal blend and musicianship. After attending their sold-out show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles earlier this year, Göransson selected two tracks—“The Rocky Road to Dublin” and “Go Lassie Go”—to feature prominently in the film’s score.
The Rocky Road Tour 2026 will build on this global success, offering audiences a high-energy live show that reinforces The High Kings’ place at the forefront of Irish folk. With a renewed focus on storytelling, musicianship, and connection, the tour reflects the group’s ongoing commitment to honouring Ireland’s folk legacy while pushing creative boundaries.

Soundbath with Hendrik
2026-03-15 09:30 - 11:00 | Arts Collaborative Medford, 162 Mystic Ave., Medford, MA, 02155, United States
What’s a Soundbath?
A soundbath is a performance of sound or music which is intended to relax, to spiritually heal, and to create a meditative state. Hendrik will play gong and singing bowls for this program. Often the sounds are long, deep sustained tones and harmonic resonances that happen higher above droning fundamental tones. The sound serves as a focal point for meditation. Instead of trying to focus on nothing or on the breath, the participant concentrates on the sound as it changes and develops.
What to Expect:
Please bring a yoga mat or meditation cushion with you. Several people have also brought blankets and pillows. You will get the option to sit in a cushioned chair if desired.
Program Flow
There will be an introductory discussion where participants can check in with the group. Lately this has included discussions about stressors, anxiety and depression. We will do some breathwork to relax a bit before the actual music. The soundbath will last about 60 minutes. After the bath, we will also have time to discuss the experience, check in with our community, and plan how to support each other.
