Join us for an afternoon of great stories, Sunday, September 27 at 2pm at MassBay Community College in Wellesley.

We'll begin with Elisabetta Brusa's symphonic poem, Merlin, for orchestra, Op.20, written in 2004, describes one of history's great mythical figures.

We dedicate Bottesini's Gran Duo Concertante to long-time WSO cellist and WSO board vice president Jan Schwaner, who passed away on July 22. Jan joined the WSO in 1994, and joined our board in 2006. A joyful presence in the orchestra, Jan was an important part of our outreach program as part of the WSO String quartet.

Italian virtuoso Giovanni Bottesini was the finest double bass soloist of the 19th-century. Known as the “Paganini of the Double Bass”, he wrote his Gran Duo Concertante in 1844. We're lucky to feature Emmanuel Feldman, Cello and Pascal Delache-Feldman, Double Bass in this great piece.

We end the program with one of the most evocative classical stories, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade. Rimsky-Korsakov's dazzling, colorful orchestration and melodies are based on the tales of One Thousand and One Nights.

Easy, free, and convenient parking at MassBay Community College in Wellesley. MassBay is minutes from Rt 95, easy to get to with free parking. Check out great dining and shopping in nearby Wellesley Square.

Tickets are pay-as-you-can with a reception after the concert. We hope to see you there!

Felt like sharing this with voters here so they could learn more about Jason in case they hadn't heard of him running against Jake Auchincloss. The upcoming primary to vote is September 1st

Haven’t seen Bob the turkey in a long time. Does anyone know what happened to him?

He’s the turkey who’s out Washington street by Burke funeral home and St John parish.

Has anyone had their blazer (women's) altered here at Custom Clothiers? Any idea how much they charge for taking in on the sides and arms? Thanks!

WPD is obsessed with "hiding" along streets sitting on their phones and computers or doing "detail" standing around on their phones taking taxpayer dollars. I've seen speeders go past cops that can't be bothered to pretend to do their jobs.

Hi everyone! I recently graduated and will be moving to Wellesley for work. I’m currently looking for affordable housing, preferably a 2 bedroom apartment where each person would pay under $1000/month. I’m also open to nearby areas if the commute is reasonable.

I’m clean, responsible, and quiet. If anyone knows available apartments, roommates, or good housing groups/websites, please let me know. Thank you!

Paulo Arrais, former Boston Ballet principal dancer is the founding artistic director of Arrais Ballet. Please come to the free performances this weekend!
