Air Disinfection at 51 Walden
We have recently installed a new ventilation and air conditioning system in the main hall! Audiences and performers are much more comfortable and are safer now from airborne viruses. This project was funded in significant part through the Community Preservation Act recommendation approved at Town Meeting in June of 2024. We are very grateful for the support of the town.
There are several UltraVation BioGardUV™ Upper-Room Convection Germicidal UV Units in the main hall and lobby areas. We have also placed three AIRDoctor™ HEPA Professional Air Purifiers in the lobby area. For details, refer to our Airborne-Virus-Mitigation-Notice-Spring-2021 document.
The 51 Walden Art Gallery is featuring the mixed media paintings and collage of Sirarpi Heghinien. Her exhibit, titled Poetry of Color, will run through January 31, 2026.
CCHS seniors weeded and mulched our flower beds on Service Day. Thanks!
The Concord Band
The Concord Band performs regularly at its permanent home, the Performing Arts Center at 51 Walden Street in Concord, at its summer home at Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, Massachusetts, and has also performed summer concerts at several towns in the Greater Boston and MetroWest regions. The sixty-five volunteer members of the Band represent many area communities and a wide variety of professions. Visit the Band’s blog for more information.
The Concord Players
The Concord Players mount three major productions a year with multiple performances of each play. Recent seasons have included Barefoot in the Park, Funny Girl, Spamalot, The Drowsy Chaperone, and The Sound of Music. The Players’ staging of Little Women is regarded by many as Concord’s Passion Play.
The Concord Orchestra
The Concord Orchestra consists of 60-70 volunteer musicians living in Concord, MA, and the Greater Boston metropolitan area. The orchestra rehearses weekly at 51 Walden from September through May. The membership are serious musicians whose life paths diverged from performance as a career, but whose enthusiasm and delight in playing is undiminished.
Opera51
Opera51 raises funds to support 51 Walden through opera performances, associated corporate sponsorships, program ads, individual donations, and through special events like Gala Gatherings and Opera Favorites. Proceeds contribute valuable funds to the maintenance and operation of the facility, a community resource supporting hundreds of local residents each week throughout the year.
