The Bach's Lunch Series offers free, informal lunch-hour lectures the first Thursday of every month, and a related concert the following Thursday in the Concord Community Music School's recital hall, 23 Wall St., November through June.
The series opens this year in partnership with Concord Reads, for which one of the selected books is “The Soloist,” by Steve Lopez. On Nov. 5, Karen Wacks, professor of music therapy and clinical training coordinator at Berklee College of Music, will present a lecture titled “Music and the Mind.” Concord Community Music School's faculty members Matt Laughlin on cello and Abigail Charbeneau on piano will perform works featured in the soundtrack from “The Soloist” on Nov. 12. Both the lecture and concert begin at 12:10 p.m. and end by 12:50 p.m.
