THIS FRIDAY at ARTS NIGHT OUT
PENNIES FOR BREAKFAST
5-8pm in the lobby of 33 Hawley
​
Pennies for Breakfast is a band made up of classical musicians, songwriters and actors. The group consists of Luca Kevorkian and Marta Djorovic on the violins, Jackson Pelz on guitar, and Isabelle Bushue on vocals. The quartet develops their music through improvisations, often creating form in front of an audience. While experimenting in sound driven storytelling, the Pennies ask questions regarding the relationship between music, performance, and what it means to compose. Fun fact: they have nicknames — come and find out what they are!

CONTACT QUARTERLY LIBRARY AT 33 HAWLEY

APE@Hawley is excited to announce that the dance library that was acquired and stewarded for years by our friends at 
Contact Quarterly is now housed at A.P.E.'s office in 33 Hawley! Since the closing of CQ's office down the road in Florence, MA, we have accepted their generous gift of hundreds of books, periodicals, and DVDs on dance practice and performance, as well as a full CQ back issue set. Once COVID restrictions allow, we will be making this reading library available to the public for using and perusing while at 33 Hawley. Also on the horizon is the use of a public computer, gifted to us by CQ, for research and browsing of CQ's back issue archive.

​We can't wait to read and research together!" For more information and to access the library contact: meredithbove@apearts.org
