From Galleries at LynnArts (GALA): Light can be many things: illumination, clarity, warmth, memory, truth, energy, or transformation. In times of uncertainty or transition, light becomes both a metaphor and a material—something we seek, create, carry, or become. This exhibition invites artists to explore light in its physical, emotional, spiritual, and symbolic forms. We welcome works that investigate light as presence or absence, as softness or intensity, as hope, revelation, resistance, or quiet endurance. Interpretations may be abstract or representational, subtle or bold, personal or collective.
Exhibit runs from February 27 – March 18, 2026.

Admission to the Galleries is always free. Gallery hours are as follows:

Wednesday-Friday from 3-7pm
Saturday from 12-4pm
Appointments also available

This concert features NMYO’s Symphony Orchestra and Select Intermezzo Orchestra and Wind Ensemble musicians. It is the culmination of an eight-week rehearsal period during which each of the small string, woodwind, flute, brass, and percussion ensembles rehearse with visiting professional musicians. These ten small ensembles will perform music by both classical and modern composers including Francis Poulenc, Antonio Vivaldi, Franz Joseph Haydn, Astor Piazzolla, and Alexander Borodin.
“The skills our students gain—listening, communication, leadership, and musical independence—extend far beyond their chamber group, shaping them into more expressive, confident musicians in every ensemble they play” says Michael Coelho, NMYO’s Music Director.
Join us in person for this free-to-the public performance at the beautiful Shore Country Day School Trustey Family Theater in Beverly. NMYO is committed to making its concerts accessible to all patrons and will make reasonable accommodations when possible. For assistance, contact the NMYO office at 978-309-9833.
New England Biolabs provided a grant to help support NMYO’s Chamber Music program. Additional Gold Benefactor and Conductors Circle Sponsors are the Cummings Foundation, Massachusetts Cultural Council, Avier Flight Training, Cape Ann Savings Bank, Carriage House Violins of Johnson Stringed Instruments, Cross Insurance, Coburn Charitable Society, Demoulas Foundation, Institution for Savings, and Milestone Financial Planning. The local Cultural Councils of Boxford, Hamilton-Wenham, Ipswich and Topsfield also lend their support for this concert.

NMYO provides youth musicians with exceptional ensemble training and opportunities for cognitive, social, and personal growth through musical performance and community service. Led by Music Director Michael Coelho, with an accomplished team of music professionals, NMYO’s 130 musicians come from 40+ towns throughout northeast Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire and participate in one or more of the five large ensembles offered. The regular rehearsal and concert schedule is supplemented with master classes, enrichment days, chamber music, and community service outreach concerts to underserved populations. You too can join NMYO! Musicians are now being added for the second semester. Rehearsals are held weekly just off I-95 and Route 1 in Topsfield/Boxford. NMYO is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.

Fundraiser for Cam Connolly & His Journey To Healing
2026-03-07 18:00 - 22:00 | Gannon Golf Course, 60 Great Woods Road, Lynn, MA, 01904, United States
From Christine Leavitt: There will be a fundraiser for Cam Connolly & His Journey To Healing being held on Saturday, March 7 from 6-10pm at the Gannon Golf Course in Lynn. There will be no cost for the event, but donations will be accepted with all proceeds directly benefiting Cameron. There will be raffles, food, music, and more.
As many of you have heard and for those who have not, our son Cameron Connolly, had a traumatic accident early Sunday morning while at Bridgewater State. Cameron fell backwards from a porch and fell on his back, was rushed to Boston Medical Center to have emergency spinal surgery and has been in intensive care since then.
The outpouring of support from everyone including family friends from Peabody /Lynn and allover, the BSU baseball team, has been in one word “overwhelming!” I felt it is best to use this platform to share an update as many have reached out to Jen and I (and Cameron) asking what happened and offering prayers and support.

As this is a spinal injury, this affects Cameron’s Central Nervous System, this injury is traumatic, severe and life changing. Current status for Cameron is he has paralysis from his waist down which will require a new normal including a use of a wheelchair to get around along with other accommodations. Fortunately, the injury did not affect his head/brain or upper body. He has full strength (and plenty of it) in his upper body and he is fully fluent and can communicate as normal.

In the immediate, this means Cameron (Jen & I) have entered a life changing event and a new normal which will be a massive adjustment but we will conquer this. For Cameron, he will be going to Spaulding Rehab to learn how he will need to function to live moving forward (Essentially everything we normally use our lower body he will need to learn again).

Cameron’s goal is to walk again and he will as he is in top physical strength, and is determined to do this. This new challenge will be on Cameron with everyone supporting him to push him in his toughest battle yet to achieve this. Cameron is extremely motivated to walk again and we know he will achieve this.

We thank everyone for their phone/texts asking for and supporting Cameron. Many have asked what or how they can show their support. For now, the many teammates, friends that have come to visit and support, please continue to do this as he needs his community to support him. Continue to reach out to Cam, either by phone or text. While he enters Spaulding he will need to focus on rehab but would love to see anyone. Feel free to text me to find out the best time to visit as he will have a regimented schedule that he will need to and wants to focus on this.

In closing as all know how much Cameron has loved playing baseball and achieved so much from t-ball to college, I am sharing this video as it has made Jen and I so proud and will continue to be of Cam. If you were there you know! On that cool spring day at Peabody High it was one of the best high school baseball games I ever witnessed, and not just of what Cam did but the game was a crisp clean game with only one error with a pitchers duel, Cameron pitching into extra innings with a shut out and scoreless game and came up with one out in the bottom of the eighth
