Saint James) and discusses them through a Native American perspective and through the stories they tell of environmental change. It covers Nipmuc relations with colonial settlers and the Jesuit community from the 1500s to today. \nWe are particularly excited to show this film on the exterior of The Prior Performing Arts Center in the Patterson Amphitheatre\, whose site is featured at the start of the film. There was a time when all Holy Cross students knew of Pakachoag\, but that knowledge has been lost. This film seeks to revive a widespread knowledge of the indigenous identity and significance of Pakachoag Hill and today’s larger Worcester region. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n\n \n \n \n \n \n September 3\, 20257:30 p.m. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Free entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nBuilding Exterior located in the Patterson AmphitheatrePrior Performing Arts Center URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/outdoor-film-screening-pakachoag-where-the-river-bends/ LOCATION:OUTDOOR FILM SCREENING – Patterson Amphitheatre at The Prior –\, 1 College St\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Holy Cross Community ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PAKACHOAG-NEW-WEB.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250807T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250807T160000 DTSTAMP:20260408T070536 CREATED:20250716T142137Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250716T143043Z UID:4546-1754582400-1754582400@priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu SUMMARY:A Midsummer Night's Dream (abridged) DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by Holy Cross Scholarship in Action & Clark University’s Office of Global Engagement\n \n \n \n \n \n A Midsummer Night’s Dream\n \n Reserve Seats\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nShakespeare’s classic play comes to The Prior in this abridged co-presentation from Holy Cross’ Scholarship in Action & Clark University’s Office of Global Engagement\, directed by Martha Douglas-Osmundson starring students of the Clark University-Hefei University of Technology Summer 2025 Program.\n\nGeneral admission seating.

Each artist is based in or has a connection to Worcester\, celebrating the individuality and scope of the talent in our community. \nThe word Wunderkammer translates to “cabinet of curiosity\,” which refers to the mid-16th century European tradition of displaying personal collections of fascinating and unusual objects. The collections typically included all manner of scientific specimens\, natural phenomena\, artworks\, antiquities\, and anthropological artifacts.

The concept of ma\, of empty space\, influences the structure and sound of these pieces. \nYoshimatsu describes the Pleiades Dances IV (1992) as “a new form of preludes for the modern piano.” This set is a study of pedal points\, the subtle counterpoint dancing around the fixed notes. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 16\, 202512:00 PM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nThe BeehiveThe Prior Performing Arts Center URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/lunchtime-concert-series-the-late-20th-century-piano-music-of-japan-contrasts-in-modern/ LOCATION:DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC – The Beehive –\, 1 College St\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Department of Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/ulysses-loken-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250415T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250415T190000 DTSTAMP:20260408T070537 CREATED:20241219T214147Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241219T214147Z UID:3182-1744743600-1744743600@priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu SUMMARY:Holy Cross Chapel Artist Series | Jessica Nguyen\, Holy Cross Organ Scholar DESCRIPTION:Department of Music\n \n \n \n \n \n Jessica Nguyen\, Holy Cross Organ Scholar ‘28\n \n \n \n \n \n Holy Cross Chapel Artist Series\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nHoly Cross Organ Scholar Jessica Nguyen (Class of 2028) will perform her first recital at Holy Cross featuring works by Da Grigny\, Mendelssohn\, Bohm\, and Bach. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n April 15\, 20257:00 PM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nSt. Joseph Memorial Chapel URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/holy-cross-chapel-artist-series-jessica-nguyen-holy-cross-organ-scholar/ LOCATION:DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC – St. Joseph Memorial Chapel –\, 1 College St\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Department of Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/jessica-nguyen-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250414T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250414T193000 DTSTAMP:20260408T070537 CREATED:20250122T165016Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250414T155002Z UID:3178-1744659000-1744659000@priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu SUMMARY:CANCELED: Bala Brass Quartet DESCRIPTION:Department of Music\n \n \n \n \n \n Bala Brass Quartet\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nTHIS PRESENTATION HAS BEEN CANCELED.  \nThe award-winning Bala Chamber Brass presents their second concert of the season\, featuring two new works for brass quintet by Holy Cross faculty composers Chris Arrell and Matthew Jaskot.
