SUMMARY:Silkroad: Behind the Music (Virtual Artist Talk)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\n\nFREE with registration \nRegistration confirmation will be emailed by Fairfield University. A streaming link will be emailed 24 hours prior to the event. If you register within 24 hours of the event\, the streaming link will be sent as soon as possible. Contact 203-254-4010 or quickboxoffice@fairfield.edu for assistance.  \n40-minute streaming talk and Q&A  \nJoin Silkroad artists Wu Man and Sandeep Das—virtuosic performers and composers for “American Railroad”—for a glimpse into the creative process behind this groundbreaking project. “American Railroad” presents a sonic tapestry of the past\, evoking the often-overlooked contributions of Indigenous and African Americans\, as well as Chinese\, Irish\, Japanese\, and other immigrant communities who laid the tracks that transformed a nation. This creative conversation will be moderated by composer and scholar\, Anthony Cheung.  \nWu Man and Sandeep Das will perform as part of Silkroad Ensemble’s “American Railroad” at the Mahaiwe on November 8 (tickets available).  \nPresented in partnership with Colonial Performing Arts Center\, Fairfield University Quick Center for the Arts\, and First Works\, through the New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA). \nAbout Silkroad: A Grammy Award-winning musical ensemble\, Silkroad is a collective of artists representing dozens of nationalities\, traditions and ideas\, who use music and art to demonstrate how great beauty can emerge from great difference. The Ensemble strives to engage difference\, sparking radical collaboration and music with a purpose\, for a more hopeful and inclusive world.  \nAbout Wu Man: Wu Man belongs to a rare group of musicians who have redefined the role of their instruments\, in her case\, the pipa\, a pear-shaped\, four-stringed Chinese lute with a rich history spanning centuries. Not only is she recognized as the foremost pipa player in the United States\, but she is also celebrated as an accomplished composer\, educator\, and one of the most prominent instrumentalists of traditional Chinese music. She has premiered hundreds of new works for the pipa\, while spearheading multimedia projects to both preserve and create awareness of China’s ancient musical traditions. Her adventurous spirit and virtuosity have led to collaborations across artistic disciplines\, allowing her to reach wider audiences as she works to cross cultural and musical borders.  \nAbout Sandeep Das: A Guggenheim Fellow\, Sandeep Das is one of the leading Tabla virtuosos in the world today. Since his debut concert at the age of 17 with legendary Sitar player Ravi Shankar\, Das has built a prolific international reputation spanning over three decades. He has collaborated with top musicians\, ensembles\, and orchestras from all over the world\, and his original compositions have been performed in 50+ countries. Das is the founder of Harmony and Universality through Music (HUM)\, a nonprofit organization in India that has promoted global understanding through music performance and provided learning opportunities and scholarships for visually-impaired children with artistic potential since 2009.  His most recent project\, Transcending Borders One Note at a Time\, launched in 2020 to widespread international acclaim\, and seeks to harness the power of music to create positive social change.  \nAbout Anthony Cheung: (Associate Professor of Music\, Brown University): Composer and pianist Anthony Cheung writes music that explores the senses\, a wide palette of instrumental play and affect\, improvisational traditions\, reimagined musical artifacts\, and multiple layers of textual meaning. Described as “gritty\, inventive and wonderfully assured” (San Francisco Chronicle) and praised for its “instrumental sensuality” (Chicago Tribune)\, his music reveals an interest in the ambiguity of sound sources and constantly shifting transformations of tuning and timbre. His music and commissions have been performed at festivals around the world. He was a co-founder of the Talea Ensemble\, performing as a pianist and serving as artistic director. The recipient of a 2016 Guggenheim Fellowship\, he has also received awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters (Charles Ives Fellowship and Scholarship) and ASCAP\, and first prize in the Sixth International Dutilleux Competition (2008)\, as well as a Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome (2012).  \nFunded in part by

SUMMARY:Met Opera Live in HD: Bellini's La Sonnambula
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS$25 / $10 ages 21 and under.\nConnectorCare/WIC/EBT Card to Culture*  \nFollowing triumphant Live in HD performances in Gounod's Roméo et Juliette\, Verdi's La Traviata\, and Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor\, Nadine Sierra summits another peak of the soprano repertoire as Amina\, who sleepwalks her way into audiences' hearts in Bellini's poignant tale of love lost and found. In his new production\, Rolando Villazón—the tenor who has embarked on a brilliant second career as a director—retains the opera's original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind. Tenor Xabier Anduaga co-stars as Amina's fiancé\, Elvino\, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival\, Lisa\, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo. Riccardo Frizza takes the podium for one of opera's most ravishing works. This operatic gem from one of the great masters of melody is a benchmark of extraordinary vocalism. The title role of the sleepwalking girl was composed for the greatest diva of the day\, Giuditta Pasta (for whom Bellini also wrote the tragic role of Norma). The part requires a rare combination of innocence\, charm\, and breathtaking vocal virtuosity. Deeper than a comedy\, but in no way a tragedy\, La Sonnambula reaches its conclusion through genuine\, poignant character development\, rather than by intrigue or farce.  \n*We accept ConnectorCare/WIC/EBT cards! Four free tickets to movies or HD broadcasts per individual. Thank you to the donors who make this possible.

SUMMARY:Rennie Harris Puremovement American Street Dance Theater – Nuttin' but a Word
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n  \n$25 – $59 \nMahaiwe Member & Youth Discount Event  \n$25 Reserved\n$39 Preferred\n$59 Premium  \nMembers receive $5 off Preferred and Premium level tickets\n$15 ages 30 and under (visit the Box Office or call 413-528-0100\, Wed – Sat\, 12-4pm)  \nCelebrated choreographer Rennie Harris returns to Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center to lay down his three laws of hip-hop—individuality\, creativity\, innovation. Here to expose the essence of their art form with unmatched subtlety and surprise\, the indefatigably disciplined dancers of Rennie Harris Puremovement American Street Dance Theater command the stage with a mixtape of moves from b-boying to Campbell locking to house. Every step tells a story in sync with the rhythm\, honoring hip-hop’s roots while raising the bar to new heights. You can try to shout ’em down\, but you ain’t said Nuttin’ but a Word.  \n“This suite of works challenges the structural integrity of Campbell locking\, house\, hip-hop\, and B-boying. Now that we are a global hip-hop nation\, we seem to have become hip-hop/street dance zealots. This purist attitude has stagnated the natural progression of street dance. Simply put\, we have become elitist about Hip-hop culture. This elitism is due to this generation’s obsession with ‘keeping it real.’ The truth of the matter is this generation will never relive my generation’s era of original dance. My generation defined the three laws of Hip-hop culture: innovation\, individuality\, and creativity. At best\, they can appreciate it\, pay homage to it\, and acknowledge it as the foundational era of hip-hop/street dance it was; in doing that\, they will tap into their individuality\, creativity\, and innovation\, which in turn ensures progress. The work’s title\, Nuttin’ But A Word\, was taken from a cultural phrase used amongst Blacks in the United States. The complete phrase is\, ‘You ain’t said nothing but a word’; loosely translated\, it means\, ‘Your words mean nothing — pay close attention because what I do next will trump anything you have to say.’ Hip-hop/street dance is progressive by design. There is nothing about the three Laws of Hip-Hop that suggests stagnation. Nothing about these laws indicates that we as practitioners of Hip-hop should only adhere to its foundation; it is quite the opposite. Nuttin’ But A Word challenges the Hip-hop puritans at every turn and reminds us that we will not evolve as a form without individuality\, creativity\, and innovation.” – Rennie Harris  \nSponsored by

SUMMARY:An Evening with Galactic featuring Jelly Joseph
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n$46 – $56 \nMahaiwe Member & Youth Discount Event  \n$46 Reserved \n$56 Premium  \nMembers receive $5 off each ticket  \n$15 ages 30 and under (visit the Box Office or call 413-528-0100\, Wed – Sat\, 12-4pm)  \nFor over 30 years\, Galactic has been a powerhouse of New Orleans music\, fusing funk\, jazz\, rock\, and soul into a sound that’s unmistakably their own. Originally coming together in the ’90s as a late-night funk band\, the group has grown into a genre-defying collective that continues to evolve while staying true to their roots. Their high-energy live shows and adventurous collaborations have earned them a loyal following around the world. \nIn recent years\, Galactic has been touring and recording with dynamic vocalist Jelly Joseph\, whose soulful\, commanding voice adds a powerful new dimension to their sound. The band also serves as the owner and steward of the legendary Tipitina’s music venue\, where they host iconic performances and foster the next generation of New Orleans artists. In 2021\, they launched Tipitina’s Record Club\, an all-vinyl label celebrating the city’s rich musical legacy. \nTheir newest release\, Audience With the Queen (out April 11\, 2025)\, marks a major milestone: a full-length collaboration with Irma Thomas\, the beloved “Soul Queen of New Orleans.” Featuring Thomas on every track\, the album blends her timeless voice with Galactic’s modern edge\, delivering a powerful and deeply rooted collection of songs that honor both tradition and innovation. \nAudience With the Queen is a testament to Galactic’s unique place in American music—deeply New Orleans\, endlessly collaborative\, and always pushing forward.

SUMMARY:Gary Gulman: Misfit Stand Up Tour
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n$29 – $49 \nMahaiwe Member & Youth Discount Event  \n$29 Reserved\n$39 Preferred\n$49 Premium  \nMembers receive $5 off each ticket\n$15 ages 30 and under (visit the Box Office or call 413-528-0100\, Wed – Sat\, 12-4pm)  \nOver 25 years in comedy\, Gary Gulman has established himself as an eminent performer and peerless writer.  \nA product of Boston\, Gulman has been a scholarship college football player\, an accountant\, and a high school teacher. He has made countless television appearances as both a comedian and an actor. Gulman has made five masterful TV specials including his most recent stand-up special\, Born on Third Base\, which premiered December 2023 on MAX.  \nHis previous\, universally acclaimed special for HBO was The Great Depresh\, a tour de force look at mental illness\, which is equal parts hilarious and inspiring. In 2019\, he appeared in the international blockbuster Joker. He can most recently be seen co-starring with Amy Schumer in the hit Hulu comedy series\, Life & Beth.  \nGary’s first book published by Flatiron Books is titled Misfit: Growing Up Awkward in the ’80s\, a memoir based on his life from Kindergarten through twelfth grade. It was released in September of 2023. Amy Schumer called the book “laugh out loud funny and heartfelt” and MacArthur Fellowship recipient Adrian Nicole LeBlanc found it “exquisite\, love-affirming and generous.”  \nToday\, Gulman is one of the most popular touring comics\, selling out theaters around the country including the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York City. Gary’s current tour “Misfit: A Gary Gulman Stand Up & Book Tour” features material based on his book\, but not a repeat of the book.  \nOpening Act: Emily Ruskowski \nCo-sponsored by
