First Parish in Lexington

On Sunday afternoon, January 28 at 2:30, tenor Austin Burns and pianist Rip Jackson will present a concert of music from the “Gilded Age.” The Gilded Age was a term coined by Mark Twain and refers to a society which is “gilded” or thinly coated with a gold layer while under the surface lies the poor working conditions of the lower class. This is a program that draws striking parallels to today’s economic and political climate. Sets from the program reflect not only the struggle of the 99% but also the forgotten voices of women, African Americans, and refugees. It confronts the history of oppressed groups but it also acknowledges the white privilege that so many of us take for granted. A freewill offering will be taken.
