In a special tribute to Veterans Day and the brave men and women who have served our country, the Bangor Symphony Orchestra will present two concerts of music including works by Aaron Copland and the orchestral music of McCanna (Mac) Anthony Sinise, led by BSO Music Director and Conductor Lucas Richman and featuring Gary Sinise & The Lt. Dan Band. A Special Performance – Bangor Symphony Orchestra with Gary Sinise & The Lt. Dan Band, a One-of-a-kind Concert Event and Book Launch of Graceful Warrior by Award-Winning Actor, Humanitarian and Author Gary Sinise Graceful Warrior book release date: November 10, 2026 – advance copies will be available at this special performance. Gary’s career is a powerhouse of artistry, advocacy, and unwavering dedication to our nation’s heroes. Co-founding the legendary Steppenwolf Theatre when he was just 18 years old, he skyrocketed to fame as Lt. Dan in the award-winning film Forrest Gump, earning an Emmy, a Golden Globe, and an Oscar nomination while cementing his Hollywood legacy with Apollo 13, Ransom, The Green Mile, and nine seasons on CSI: NY. Inspired by his late son Mac’s music, most of which was discovered shortly after Mac’s passing at a young age from a rare spinal cancer on January 5, 2024, Gary has curated this concert to honor the power of music and healing. The concert features the Bangor Symphony Orchestra in the first half, including Gary Sinise narrating Aaron Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait”, and Gary Sinise & The Lt. Dan Band in the second half, with Mac’s music transcribed by Oliver Schnee, a musical composer and old college friend of Mac’s who also helped bring Mac’s music to life. There will be personal stories, powerful music, and accompanying video elements. “As a father, I was incredibly touched by Mac’s journey and Gary’s dedication to bringing the treasure trove of his son’s music to light,” BSO Music Director and Conductor, Lucas Richman said. “It will be such a great honor to have Gary here with the BSO playing his son’s music, as well as paying tribute to the generations of veterans who are the focal point of the work being done by the Gary Sinise Foundation.” Presented in conjunction with Gary’s upcoming book Graceful Warrior, which honors Mac and his own family’s journey of healing and will officially be released on November 10, 2026 on what would have been Mac’s 36th birthday, this one-of-a-kind event is a profound reflection on love, loss, resilience, and hope. Graceful Warrior will be available for sale at the events, and all proceeds from book sales will benefit the Gary Sinise Foundation, to help further their mission of “serving our nation by honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need.” The first 200 veterans, first responders and active service members are eligible for up to two (2) complimentary tickets. Please call 207-581-2787 or visit the Collins Center for the Arts in person to reserve free tickets. Members may be asked to present a DD214 card or some proof that they served.

The Confidence Myth: Why Confidence Begins in a Different Place than You Think

You already know what you need to do for your health. So why does something keep stopping you? For so many women, the missing piece isn't information — it's confidence. The confidence to advocate for yourself. To invest in your own well-being without guilt. To stop accepting symptoms as inevitable and start believing that real change is possible for you. That's exactly what this evening is about. Join us on Thursday, December 3rd for an intimate evening in Bangor designed to give you the tools, the truth, and the spark you need to step into your health — and your life — differently. WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE: Many women spend years trying to become more confident by changing how they look, speak, perform, or what they know. But lasting confidence isn't built from the outside in - it's built from the inside out. In this engaging and thought-provoking workshop, self-leadership coach, speaker, and bestselling author Suzanne Carver will challenge some of the most common beliefs about confidence and explore why so many capable women still question themselves. You'll discover a different way of thinking about confidence and leave with practical tools to strengthen self-trust, reclaim your personal power, and develop the kind of confidence that isn't dependent on approval, perfection, or getting everything right. We'll also have Kelly Dionne — Pure Haven Consultant Most of us never stop to read the label on our shampoo, our lotion, or our deodorant. But what's in those products matters — to your energy, your hormones, and your long-term health. Kelly will walk you through what's really lurking in conventional personal care products and introduce you to a line that is 100% toxin-free, no compromises. THIS EVENT IS FOR YOU IF: You've been putting off health changes and you're not sure why You feel like your confidence has quietly slipped away You're tired of products that claim to be "clean" but aren't You're ready to stop waiting and start doing EVENT DETAILS: Thursday, November 12th 5:30PM 33 Penn Plaza, Suite C, Bangor, Maine Seating is limited — registration required This is not a large conference. This is an intentional, intimate evening for women who are serious about their health and ready to show up for themselves. Click GOING and register at the link below to save your seat.
