DESCRIPTION:TICKETS$35 Balcony / $60 Orchestra (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event \nMahaiwe Members receive $5 off each ticket \nThe season closes with the irresistible fire and passion of music shaped by Romani traditions\, which left an indelible mark on European composers. The romance\, longing\, and sense of freedom in these melodies found their way into some of the most beloved works of the repertoire. Haydn’s Piano Trio No. 39\, with its famous “Gypsy” Rondo\, dazzles in Hungarian style\, while Brahms unleashes unbridled intensity in the torrential finale of his Piano Quartet No. 1. Ravel (Tzigane)\, Bartók (Romanian Dances)\, and Liszt (Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2) add their voices to this vibrant tradition. After the performance\, join us for a festive reception—complete with a fortune teller to offer a lighthearted glimpse into your future. Our prediction: a brilliant season finale filled with inspired music and extraordinary performers. \nMax Levinson\, piano; Giora Schmidt\, violin; Helena Baillie\, viola; Yehuda Hanani\, cello; Laura Melnicoff\, cello

SUMMARY:BEATrio: Béla Fleck\, Edmar Castañeda & Antonio Sánchez
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS—\n$49 – $89 (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member & Youth Discount Event  \n$49 Reserved\n$74 Preferred\n$89 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)  \nBanjo. Drums. Harp. Huh? \nTo be sure\, the new all-star trio of Béla Fleck\, harpist Edmar Castañeda and drummer Antonio Sánchez features instrumentation that might safely be called uncommon. Unless\, of course\, you're already familiar with 19-time Grammy-winner Fleck – the genre-blurring virtuoso who has done more to expand the possibilities of the banjo than any other player in the instrument's history. From his bluegrass beginnings through his otherworldly Flecktones\, his duo with Chick Corea and his reimagining of Rhapsody in Blue\, Fleck's work never fails to surprise. What doesn't surprise is the impeccable caliber of his collaborators – and this new trio includes two of the most gifted musicians of their generation.  \n "I'm fascinated by what they do and how they break the rules." – Felix Contreras\, NPR Music  \nThe harpist\, Castañeda\, hails from Bogotá\, Colombia\, and has led his own bands in addition to sharing projects with such masters as Hiromi\, Paquito D'Rivera and Grégoire Maret. Five-time Grammy-winner Sánchez grew up in Mexico City and built a reputation as one of the great jazz drummers through his work with guitarist Pat Metheny.  \nThe new album BEATrio is out now! Playing original repertoire\, much of it collaboratively written\, this trio embarks nightly on fearless explorations that audiences will find irresistible — rich with strong melodies\, gorgeous harmony and grooves that twist and turn while feeling fantastic. \n"Fleck's most ambitious collaboration to date\, and contains some of the most extraordinary instrumental work by all three musicians." – Jazzwise  \n\n–\nSponsored by Dr. Beth B. and Jeffrey N. Cohen
