SUMMARY:2027 Design for Freedom Summit
DESCRIPTION:“Five years ago\, we asked a simple but urgent question: what if the buildings we design and inhabit were built with the full dignity of every person who harvests\, mines\, and processes the materials that make them possible? Today\, that question is a global movement. This is our moment. The construction industry is now positioned to become a global leader in supply chain transparency and human rights.” \n– Sharon Prince\, Grace Farms CEO & Founder \n  \nThe 2027 Design for Freedom Summit arrives at a pivotal moment for the built environment. Join 550 industry leaders\, policymakers\, manufacturers\, investors\, developers\, architects\, and educators committed to eliminating forced and child labor from the building materials supply chain. \n  \nAgenda Highlights:\nResponsible Mining\nMaterial Innovation\nStrengthening Industry Collaboration\nTechnology\, Data\, and Supply Chain Transparency\nEthics & Circularity \n  \nReserve your spot at the 2027 Design for Freedom Summit to advance the global push toward a more ethical built environment. \nTo stay up to date\, please subscribe to the Design for Freedom newsletter and follow us on LinkedIn\, Facebook\, and Instagram.

SUMMARY:Music at Grace Farms | Aoife O’Donovanwith Eric & Colin Jacobsen
DESCRIPTION:Aoife O’Donovan\, vocals\, acoustic guitar\nEric Jacobsen\, cello\nColin Jacobsen\, violin \nGrammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Aoife O’Donovan brings her singular voice to an intimate afternoon that moves freely between solitude and conversation — between the quiet power of a single voice and the warmth of strings intertwined. \nBorn from an Irish-American musical sensibility that stretches from the hills of Appalachia to the Celtic songs of her summers in Ireland\, O’Donovan has earned her place as one of the most captivating storytellers in American folk music. Drawing from her celebrated catalog — including her acclaimed albums Age of Apathy\, In the Magic Hour\, and All My Friends — she performs a set of songs that are tender\, searching\, and quietly enchanting. \nA natural collaborator — founding member of the beloved string band Crooked Still and one-third of the Grammy-winning folk trio I’m With Her alongside Sara Watkins and Sarah Jarosz — O’Donovan has earned ten Grammy nominations across a career built not on going it alone\, but on the alchemy that happens when kindred musical spirits find each other. \nJoining her are two of contemporary classical music’s most imaginative voices: cellist Eric Jacobsen and violinist Colin Jacobsen\, brothers whose careers have been defined by a restless curiosity that carries them far beyond genre. Co-founders of the groundbreaking string quartet Brooklyn Rider and the chamber orchestra The Knights\, the Jacobsens bring with them a rare combination of classical rigor and an adventurer’s ear — qualities that make them natural companions for O’Donovan’s own genre-defying art. \nThe afternoon unfolds in two registers: solo moments where O’Donovan stands alone with nothing but her voice and guitar\, raw and unhurried — and collaborative passages where cello and violin surround her melodies in constant conversation. Expect a performance of profound musicianship\, unexpected beauty\, and the rare feeling that something unrepeatable is happening right in front of you. \nOn-site parking and off-site parking with shuttle service are available for purchase here. Ride sharing is encouraged as a convenient option\, with several services available locally.
