MUSIC
Pepperell: You may think you know the score on Harry Potter, but a whole new genre of Potter-based Wizard Rock has sprung up, and it doesn't involve high-end movie soundtracks. Performing as Potter Ink, 19-year-old New Yorker Elizabeth Pashley is a one-woman acoustic indie rock act. Her songs are all original and based on various Potter characters, and she's traveling the library circuit hoping to encourage literacy through music. She'll be performing June 18, 7 p.m., on the lawn of Lawrence Library, 15 Main St. Free. lawrencelibrary.org, 978-433-0330.
GALLERIES
Lowell: For those not conversant with textile lingo, "vibrations" refers to dynamic visual activity associated with color. "Collector's Choice: Late 19th Century Vibrations," an exhibition of 19th century Amish, Mennonite, and mainstream quilts from the collection of curator Gerald E. Roy, revels in color not usually found in that period. The exhibition opens June 19 and runs through Aug. 24 at the New England Quilt Museum, 18 Shattuck St. Roy will lecture about his collection June 21, 1 p.m. On July 19, American folk arts specialist and author Robert Shaw will lead a panel discussion on the collection.

North Andover: Just because the North Andover Historical Society, 153 Academy Road, has been around since 1913 doesn't mean it's not thinking about the future.
