SUMMARY:A.J. Croce: Croce Plays Croce
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n$45 to $70 (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Members & Youth Discount Event  \n$45 Reserved \n$60 Preferred\n$70 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) \nAcclaimed singer songwriter\, piano virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist A.J. Croce is once again taking his celebrated Croce Plays Croce tour across the country\, bringing audiences an unforgettable evening of music that bridges generations and celebrates the enduring power of song.  \nFrom his earliest performances as a teenager\, to his critically acclaimed albums and world tours\, A.J. Croce has forged a remarkable career entirely on his own terms. Over the course of three and a half decades and eleven studio albums\, he has become known as an acclaimed songwriter\, multi-instrumentalist\, and electrifying performer\, with more than twenty songs reaching Billboard’s Top 40 charts across multiple genres. Celebrated for his ability to bridge styles and eras with effortless grace\, Croce moves fluidly through American roots\, rock n’ roll\, blues\, jazz\, soul\, and world music\, creating a sound that is as distinctive as it is timeless.  \nThroughout his remarkable career\, A.J. has shared the stage with an extraordinary list of musical icons — including Ray Charles\, B.B. King\, James Brown\, Willie Nelson\, Lyle Lovett\, and Rod Stewart — each collaboration adding another layer to his deep and diverse musical story.  \nSon of the legendary singer songwriter\, Jim Croce\, A.J. purposefully waited thirty years to perform his father’s music\, only introducing his acclaimed Croce Plays Croce tour when he felt there was a meaningful way to honor his musical legacy with depth\, intention\, and musical integrity. Croce Plays Croce showcases that legacy in a way that few concerts can. The show features a moving and energetic blend of Jim Croce’s legendary songs — such as “Operator\,” “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim\,” “Bad Bad Leroy Brown” and “Time in a Bottle” — alongside A.J.’s own acclaimed originals. Through stories\, humor\, and remarkable musicianship\, A.J. connects audiences to both his father’s iconic body of work and his own evolution as one of today’s most respected artists.

SUMMARY:Kate Kortum Quartet
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n$65 General Admission (plus processing fees)\nCafé table seating  \nKate Kortum takes the traditional jazz vocal experience and makes it her own\, combining the intimacy and storytelling of cabaret with vocals that echo Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone. \n\nThe winner of the 2025 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition\, Kortum has emerged as one of the most compelling new artists in jazz today\, performing on the most iconic stages in jazz including Birdland\, Blue Note\, Dizzy’s Club\, and Jazz at Lincoln Center. \nWhat sets Kortum apart is her knowing\, sly playfulness — and the distinctly modern female perspective she brings to classic jazz and swing tunes\, most of them written by men generations ago. \nKortum has toured internationally and collaborated with modern jazz leaders including Bryan Carter\, Peter Bernstein\, Wynton Marsalis\, and the world-renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. \n

SUMMARY:Jeff Tweedy Solo with special guest Case Oats
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n$55 to $85 (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member & Youth Discount Event  \nTicket purchases limited to 8 per transaction  \n$55 Reserved\n$65 Preferred\n$85 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)  \nA special solo show with Jeff Tweedy\, founding member and frontman of Wilco and one of contemporary music’s most respected songwriters and performers. In addition to 13 Wilco albums\, he has released five solo albums – most recently\, his 30-track “magnum opus” (The New York Times) Twilight Override. A rare chance to experience songs from across his expansive catalog and step inside the world of Twilight Override. \nOpening Act: Case Oats \nTwilight Override Bio by Jeff Tweedy  \nWhen you align yourself with creativity and creation\, you align yourself with something that other people call God. And if you align yourself with creation\, you have automatically taken a side against destruction. You’re on the side of creation. And that does a lot to quell the impulse to destroy.   \nIs the world getting darker? Sure feels like it. What is it? Is it the pervasive nagging toothache of dread that comes with witnessing the disintegration of a country that you thought you knew and understood? A home you still love with a love that could never be taken away\, regardless of how painful that love has become. That sense of decline is hard to ignore\, and it must at least be a part of the shroud I’m trying to uncover. The twilight of an empire seems like a good enough jumping-off point when one is jumping into the abyss.   \nTwilight sure is a pretty word\, though. And the world is filled with former empires\, so maybe that’s not where this dissonance is coming from entirely. Could be how old I’ve managed to become without warning. My own personal Twilight. What ever it is out there (or in there) squeezing this ennui into my day\, it’s fucking overwhelming. It’s difficult to just ignore. Twilight Override is my effort to overwhelm it right back. Here are the songs and sounds and voices and guitars and words that are an effort to let go of some of the heaviness and up the wattage on my own light. My effort to engulf this encroaching nighttime (nightmare) of the soul.   \nWhat I really want to do is grow my heart big enough to love everyone. And if I want a heart to grow big enough to meet this moment\, it requires something expansive. “Like a TRIPLE record!?”\, you ask? Yes! Like a goddamn triple record! I mean…What else do I have but my songs and my family and my friends? What else do any of us have to keep the lights on? How else can I generate my own light? To me any song\, no matter what the subject matter\, can be a point of light and that’s one of the reasons I try and make so many of them. They all have the potential\, even the heaviest music on the Earth has the potential\, to lift someone up. This sounds like a Hallmark card\, but it rocks harder than a Hallmark card.   \nI’m aware the day ends and the sun sets no matter how hard we wish for it to lift itself back out of the ocean. So I guess what we’re really talking about is time. In a way these three records represent the past\, present and future. The darkness comes and goes. But the clock keeps plowing ahead. We all want more. But not more of this particular shitty time. It feels like the clock is camped out at the worst part of the day. Everyone stuck saying goodbye to the future they woke up to. Waiting for it to get dark enough to dream up a new day.   \nTruthfully\, I’ve been doing this for a long time. And I’m not going anywhere. This is the stuff that works for me. I can’t sing and be afraid at the same time. And dreaming at twilight isn’t forbidden. Not quite a daydream and nowhere near a nightmare. Twilight dreaming is a lovely workaround. Killing time with key changes and harmonies. Feel free to join us all here. Not singing into the void or at the void. Just singing. Feeling good. Together. It will do you no harm. Sharing this music with the world is the best I can do.

SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: Saluting the Clarinet – Mozart\, Beethoven\, Bartok and Gershwin
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n$35 Balcony / $60 Orchestra (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event \nMember Sale: \nWednesday\, August 26 at noon  \nPublic Sale: \nFriday\, August 28 at noon  \nMembers receive $5 off each ticket    \nIt can come on brash and it can come on sensuous. In the orchestra\, it steps forward in "Peter and the Wolf" and "Rhapsody in Blue"; in opera it's a near-protagonist in "The Magic Flute\," "La Traviata" and "The Barber of Seville" as composers delineate atmosphere and character motifs. It can sing and it can swing. We are referring of course to the clarinet\, which stars in a program that features Bartók's "Contrasts\," written for clarinet legend Benny Goodman and violinist Joseph Szigeti (with Bartók himself playing the piano at the world premiere!); Beethoven's Trio in B-flat major\, opus 11; Mozart's Clarinet Quintet\, and some down-home Gershwin. The program abounds in Hungarian country fiddling and dance melodies\, rich folk fare and jazz\, as well as clarinet and violin pyrotechnics. The remarkable clarinetist Alexander Fiterstein will leave us all breathless! He is joined by pianist Michael Chertock\, violinist Xiao-Dong Wang and cellist and artistic director Yehuda Hanani. \nAlexander Fiterstein\, clarinet; Michael Chertock\, piano; Xiao-Dong Wang\, Helena Baillie\, violins; Daniel Panner\, viola; Yehuda Hanani\, cello

SUMMARY:Cowboy Junkies - Celebrating 40 Years and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n$40 to $65 (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Members & Youth Discount Event  \n$40 Limited Upper Balcony\n$50 Reserved\n$65 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)  \n\n“One of the most unique and enduring bands in alternative rock” —All Music \n“Margo Timmins’s voice is as melancholy and enchanting as ever” —The New York Times \n“There’s something that is nearly miraculous about the way Margo Timmins’ beautiful voice fits with those pained lyrics written by her brother Michael Timmins…the result is some truly transformative music.” —The Mercury News \nCowboy Junkies will be performing a career-spanning show from The Trinity Session to their recent album\, Such Ferocious Beauty! \nSometimes revolutions begin quietly. \nIn 1988\, Cowboy Junkies proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet\, beautiful and reflective. The Trinity Session was like a whisper that cut through the noise — and it was compelling. It stood out in the midst of the flash and bombast that came to define the late ’80s. The now classic recording combined folk\, blues and rock in a way that had never been heard before and went on to sell more than a million copies. \nFormed in Toronto in 1985 with siblings Michael Timmins on guitar\, Margo Timmins on vocals\, Peter Timmins on drums\, and Michael’s lifelong friend Alan Anton on bass\, the band has sparkled over the course of 29 albums. “I’ve known Alan longer than I’ve known Pete\,” says Michael. “We were friends before Pete was born. \nUnlike most long-lasting groups\, Cowboy Junkies have never had a break up or taken a sanity-saving hiatus. There’s an appreciation of each other that keeps them constantly working. “It’s that intimacy and understanding of what each one of us brings to the table\,” says Michael. \nSponsored by \n \n

SUMMARY:Sean Mason Trio
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n$49 General Admission\nCafé table seating  \nSean Mason stands as one of the most compelling and visionary artists to emerge from the jazz tradition in the 21st century—a jazz pianist and composer whose impact extends far beyond the bandstand. A Grammy Award nominee\, Bessie Award winner\, and Bistro Award recipient\, Mason has distinguished himself not merely as a leading voice within the music\, but as a cultural architect reshaping the genre's relationship with style\, movement\, and artistic identity.  \n\nHis artistry is defined by a rare duality: a deep knowledge of the jazz tradition and a philosophical commitment to the music as a human practice. Mason is drawn to the way jazz holds opposites in suspension—discipline and freedom\, individuality and communion\, thought and instinct—without forcing them into resolution. As Mason notes\, "The beauty of the music is that it can hold contradiction without breaking. It can be refined and raw\, structured and open\, intimate and vast." For Mason\, jazz is not an act of presentation\, but a condition of discovery\, one in which meaning is formed in real time\, and where musicians and listeners arrive together at something more truthful than either could have produced alone.  \nFrom his roots in Charlotte\, North Carolina to the world stage\, Mason's trajectory reflects a steady and self-defined evolution. Shaped by formative experiences at Juilliard and within the lineage of the Marsalis tradition\, he has developed a voice that is distinctly his own. Today\, his impact is measured not only by his technical command\, but by the way his influence shapes a new generation\, one that reflects his sensibility in how they hear\, move\, and inhabit the music.  \nMason's recorded work traces a clear and deliberate artistic evolution. His debut\, The Southern Suite\, introduced a voice marked by depth and clarity\, praised for its "spirit of celebration" and recognized as "a powerful introduction to Mason's artistry and vision." From the outset\, critics noted both his maturity and individuality\, describing the work as "forward-looking music" and "a bold statement of purpose from a generational talent." That trajectory has only deepened. With A Breath of Fresh Air\, Mason arrives fully in his own language: a work widely described as "a sweeping statement of renewal\," "deeply rooted in tradition and effortlessly self-authentic\," and "a bold new chapter in Mason's artistic evolution." Now widely regarded as "a leading pianist of his generation" and "a singular artistic voice\," Mason's work stands as both a continuation and a redefinition of the art form.

SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: Come to the Cabaret! Paris and Weimar Berlin
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n$35 Balcony / $60 Orchestra (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event \nMember Sale: \nWednesday\, August 26 at noon  \nPublic Sale: \nFriday\, August 28 at noon  \nMembers receive $5 off each ticket    \nWith this extraordinary program\, the internationally celebrated performer Yael Rasooly\, known for her magnetic stage presence\, powerful vocals\, and virtuoso puppetry\, makes her CEWM debut\, masterfully weaving together the bold\, satirical songs of the Weimar era and Edith Piaf’s Paris. In moving tributes to legendary artists Piaf and Marlene Dietrich\, singer-actress-director Rasooly and pianist Daniel Rein evoke the richly decadent world of 1920s-30s Berlin and Paris through their distinctive\, theatrical approach to a varied repertoire of Berlin cabaret songs (think Kurt Weill!) and poetic French chansons. The program intertwines music and visual storytelling as Rasooly channels these legendary women of song through mime\, elaborate costumes\, and specially created life-size puppets\, transporting us to a bygone era while illuminating timeless themes. Her storytelling combines a unique perspective of song\, humor and puppetry that audiences will not soon forget.  \nYael Rasooly\, singer\, actress\, director; Rafael Castillo-Halvorssen\, horn; Daniel Rein\, piano

At home in different worlds\, his sublime String Quartet No. 12 “the American” was composed in Spillville\, Iowa during a blissful vacation\, and legitimized utilizing folklore\, spirituals\, and vernacular art as material for the next generation of American classical composers. The Piano Quintet\, a masterwork of Romantic-era chamber music\, stands as one of the twin peaks of the repertoire written for piano and string quartet (Brahms’s Quintet being the other!). Brahmsian depth\, Eastern European folk flavor and sheer melodic beauty characterize this joyful work. Also\, a taste of Dvořák’s vocal output with selections from his Biblical Songs\, the Gypsy Songs cycle and others reflecting his abiding affection for Czech and Bohemian culture.  \nAnna Polonsky\, piano; Miranda Cuckson\, Xiao-Dong Wang\, violins; Helena Baillie\, viola; Yehuda Hanani\, cello; Enes Petkas\, baritone

SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: World Premiere – The Metamorphosis\, Love
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n$35 Balcony / $60 Orchestra (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event \nMember Sale: \nWednesday\, August 26 at noon  \nPublic Sale: \nFriday\, August 28 at noon  \nMembers receive $5 off each ticket    \nLoss\, remembrance\, joyous recollection\, metamorphosis and love. These are universal themes and a progression of states of emotion that animate the music and texture of the program. A work of shattering intensity\, Tchaikovsky’s Piano Trio was written in response to the composer’s grief at losing his beloved teacher\, Nikolai Rubinstein\, and at the same time recollecting the happy moments spent in his company. It is elegiac and cathartic\, as is the newest CEWM commission from Martín-Buján\, The Metamorphosis: Love\, that gives the program its name. The Poet/protagonist role is sung by a tenor in dialogue with his Muse\, sung by soprano\, which in the end becomes Music itself. The accompanying ensemble is cello\, piano\, marimba and vibraphone. A companion piece (narrator\, cello and percussion) is a 2015 CEWM commission from Kenji Bunch\, written to a Shakespeare sonnet of desire and longing. Plus art songs from Schubert\, Brahms\, Fauré\, Poulenc and Finzi. It’s all about transcendence and love.   \nMax Levinson\, piano; Hye-Jin Kim\, violin; Omar Najmi\, tenor; Dana Varga\, soprano; Samuel Solomon\, Nancy Zeltsman\, percussion; Yehuda Hanani\, cello
