Books, games and lots of exercising

You can also sing with the Concord Chorale!

Tuesday

∎ If you’re into D & D, then your Tuesday night plans just got better as a trip to the Concord Public Library is in your future. If you don’t know what D & D is, then you might want to sit this one out cause there will probably be some veteran Dungeons and Dragons players at tonight’s game night, which runs from 5 to 7:30 p.m.

∎ It might be pushing the envelope a bit, but ConcordTV is hosting a trio of classes tonight. Discover ConcordTV will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the Heights Community Center, 14 Canterbury Road. The class is free, but pre-registration is required.

Intro to Camera, with Discover ConcordTV as a prerequisite, runs from 6 to 8 p.m. Cost is $40.

And at 5:30 p.m., Intro to Editing is being held for a cost of $50. Call 226-8872 or email josh@yourconcordtv.org to see if there’s still room.

Wednesday

∎ It finally feels like winter, which means you’ll have a lot more time to spend inside. So why not curl up with a good book? Better yet, go talk about books with a bunch of other people who also enjoy cracking open a good 300-pager.

Books and Brew, hosted by the library, will have its January get together at True Brew Barista, starting with a book discussion from 6 to 7 p.m. And you don’t have to read a certain title for this club – just share what you’ve been reading. There’s a mingle hour from 7 to 8 p.m. and you can even get a beer.

∎ The Concord Chorale is always looking for new voices to add to the group, so they’ll be hosting an open sing at Concord High School beginning at 7:15 p.m. Meet the director and membership, sing through some of the Mozart “Requiem” movements and schedule an audition.

This could be the big break you were looking for

∎ We applaud your decision to be more active this year, which we can only imagine is attributed to a New Year’s resolution. And if you’re over 50, there’s some line dancing taking place at the Heights Community Center at 10:30 a.m. Cost is $5 for walk-ins or $25 for six weeks – that’s like a week for free.

Thursday

∎ According to Concord Community Music School’s Publicity Manager Liz Faiella, “The groovy sounds of jazz, funk and boogaloo are the theme for the next two installments in the Bach’s Lunch Series of lectures and concerts.” Sounds like a place you need to be.

The first installment will be a lecture by music school jazz department faculty member Matt Langley titled “Funk ’n’ Boogaloo? Who Knew?” There will be a concert next Thursday.

Bach’s Lunch programs are free and open to the public. They run from 12:10 to 12:50 p.m. on the first and second Thursdays of each month in the music school’s Recital Hall. You can even bring your lunch.

Sunday

∎ If you enjoyed the line dancing earlier in the week, then head on over to the West Street Ward House for a little English Country Dance.

Traditional and contemporary English dances will be taught and accompanied by live music.

You don’t need to have any experience to take part. But you will need $10 – unless you’re a child and in that case it’s free.

Monday

∎ Keeping with the get up and moving trend, (it is January after all – likely the month when the most people exercise) there’s a yoga for fitness class at the Bow Community Building at 5:45 p.m.

It’s designed for all fitness levels for stress reduction, stretching, strengthening and balance through mindful breathing.

Maybe you’ll actually stick with the exercise program this year. We already gave up.
