Czech composer Antonin Dvorak’s famous Symphony No. 9, “From the New World” will be the featured work when Music Director Robert Lehmann conducts the North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra “Fall Concert” on Sunday, November 16, 3 p.m. at Swampscott High School.
The concert marks the start of the NSPO’s 77th season. Tickets can be purchased online at www.nspo.org, or at the door, $35 for adults and $30 for seniors and students. Admission is free for children 12 and under.
Also featured on the program will be the Massachusetts premiere of “The Golden Hour”, a contemplative piece that evokes the gentle texture of landscape bathed in golden light. The piece was composed by Maine native Heather Hastings. Ms. Hastings has written numerous works for band, chamber orchestra, and orchestra. Earlier this year she won the ‘Women Band Directors International Commission Competition.”
“Bachianas Brasuileiras No. 4” by Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos and the “Bal Masque for Orchestra” by American composer Amy Beach complete the concert program. Amy Beach, a native of New Hampshire, became the first female composer to have a symphony performed by a major orchestra when the Boston Symphony Orchestra performed her “Gaelic” Symphony in 1896.
Dvorak composed his “New World Symphony” in 1893 after a journey to America, where he was influenced by Native American music and African-American spirituals. The Symphony No. 9 is considered one of the most popular of all classical symphonies.
The North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra, founded in 1948, is now in its 77th season providing affordable access to quality classical music. The Orchestra, staffed primarily by volunteers, strives to develop, train, and provide opportunities for young musicians, while performing programs that span the full range of symphonic and Pops repertoire for a diverse public. Programs are funded in part by a grant from the Swampscott Cultural Council, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

Greenbelt Staff and Volunteers Document 92 Breeding Pairs, 112 Fledglings During 2025 Breeding Season
(Essex) — The Osprey population north of Boston and throughout Essex County continued to grow during the 2025 breeding season, marking the eighth consecutive year of population recovery. In its newly released summary report, Essex County Greenbelt Association’s Osprey Program notes that between April and September, staff and volunteers documented 92 breeding pairs across the region — from East Boston to Salisbury and inland to Boxford, Merrimac, and Haverhill. In total, 112 fledglings were confirmed, all of which — along with the adult Osprey — have since migrated south to warmer climates, some reaching as far as South America for the winter.
“Through our Osprey Program, we’ve helped nurture the local Osprey population by installing new nesting platforms, collecting data for research, and raising public awareness about this once-endangered species,” said Dave Rimmer, Greenbelt’s Osprey Program Director. “Our goal is to ensure they continue to thrive in this region for generations to come.”
Data gathered during the 2025 season offers important insight into nesting behaviors, habitat preferences, and long-term population trends in northeastern Massachusetts. As part of the program, 40 trained volunteer community scientists monitored nests and documented breeding activity throughout the region, submitting over 2,000 online observation reports.
“We simply could not collect all this information without our talented and dedicated group of volunteers,” said Rimmer. “They are truly the lifeblood of the program.”
Greenbelt also collaborated with the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation to place aluminum leg bands issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on 31 chicks. Since 2013, Greenbelt has tagged approximately 425 Osprey chicks to aid in long-term tracking and conservation efforts.
A highlight of the 2025 season was Greenbelt’s popular OspreyCam, located on an active nest atop a wooden platform in the salt marsh behind Lobsta Land Restaurant in Gloucester. The live-streaming webcam drew more than 75,000 views during the breeding season, allowing the public to follow the nesting activity of longtime residents Annie and Squam in real time. The pair successfully raised two chicks this year and have fledged a total of 18 chicks since the camera was installed in 2018.
