SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: “On the Wings of Song”—Schumann’s Dichterliebe and Mendelssohn Piano Trio
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS$35 Balcony / $60 Orchestra (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event \nMahaiwe Members receive $5 off each ticket \nRobert Schumann’s setting of Heinrich Heine’s song cycle Dichterliebe—A Poet’s Love—is spellbinding. Love and betrayal are rendered with such intimacy that the boundary between singer and listener disappears. It is Romanticism at its most exquisite. Mendelssohn\, too\, was captivated by Heine’s genius and set several of his poems\, including “On Wings of Song.” His majestic Piano Trio in D minor expresses his belief in a harmonious\, enlightened world and the triumph of beauty. The charismatic baritone Tyler Duncan\, joined by collaborator pianist Adam Golka\, brings profound psychological insight to the text.  With a voice described as “honey-coloured and warm\, yet robust and commanding” (The Globe and Mail)\, baritone Tyler Duncan has performed worldwide to great acclaim in both opera and concert repertoire\, including major roles at the Met\, Spoleto Festival and with Handel and Haydn Society. \nTyler Duncan\, baritone; Adam Golka\, piano; Miranda Cuckson\, violin; Yehuda Hanani\, cello

Together\, they create a striking dialogue across centuries and continents—earthy\, electric\, timeless\, and dazzlingly performed by the Vivace Baroque Orchestra\, a group of fourteen top-tier New York musicians who gather for periodic tours.  \nVivace Baroque Orchestra

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

SUMMARY:The W.E.B. Du Bois Center at UMass Amherst & The Du Bois Freedom Center Present - The Immortal Child: A Concert and Reading Celebrating the Friendship of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and W.E.B. Du Bois
DESCRIPTION:RESERVE\n\nFREE with reservations  \nThe W. E. B. Du Bois Center at UMass Amherst and The Du Bois Freedom Center Present a special evening celebrating the lives\, works\, and friendship of American scholar-activist W. E. B. Du Bois and the British composer\, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. The two first met in 1900 at the first Pan-African Conference in London and shared a bond centered on the celebration of Black history\, culture\, and identity. They forged a firm friendship which lasted until Coleridge-Taylor’s untimely death in 1912. The event will begin with a group reading of ‘The Immortal Child’ from W. E. B. Du Bois’\, Darkwater (1920)\, which he penned in memory and tribute to his late friend.    \nThis reading will be followed by a performance of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Clarinet Quintet in F-sharp Minor\, which displays both his virtuosity as a performer and his adoption of musical motifs and ideas from the African Diaspora. Our evening will conclude with an opportunity for audience members to engage in questions and conversation with the musicians and representatives from both the W. E. B. Du Bois Center at UMass Amherst and the Du Bois Freedom Center.  \nMUSIC PERFORMANCE:\nClarinet Quintet in F-sharp Minor\, Op. 10 / Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1895)\nI. Allegro energico\nII. Larghetto affettuoso\nIII. Scherzo. Allegro leggiero\nIV. Finale. Allegro agitato \nW.E. B. Du Bois (1868 – 1963) Born in Great Barrington\, Massachusetts three years after the end of the American Civil War\, William Edward Burghardt Du Bois rose to prominence initially as a scholar and then as an international leader in the fight for social justice and racial equality. Du Bois gained his undergraduate degree from Fisk University before becoming the first Black man to gain a PhD from Harvard University.“` \nHis early work in the emerging science of sociology helped establish this discipline in American academia and brought Du Bois to Atlanta University in the 1890s. It was here\, however\, that Du Bois once again encountered the violent racism of the American South which brought the realization that scholarship alone would not be enough – he must become a public intellectual leader as well. In 1903 Du Bois published the sensational volume of essays\, The Souls of Black Folk\, which remains a classic of American literary depictions of Black life in America. He helped found the Niagara movement in 1905 and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909. He was the editor of the NAACP’s mouthpiece\, The Crisis\, for almost a quarter of a century.  \nDu Bois travelled the world advocating for the rights of the oppressed everywhere. He helped convene the Pan-African Congresses following the First World War and he was active in the struggle for peace during the Cold War. He died in 1963 in Accra\, capital of the newly-independent Ghana. Throughout his long life\, Du Bois never stopped producing writing and scholarship that continues to inform and inspire in equal measure long after his passing. The University of Massachusetts Amherst are proud to be the custodians of Du Bois’s archival papers which reside in the Robert S. Cox Special Collections & University Archives Research Center.  \nSamuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912) Born in Holborn\, Central London\, in 1875 to an English mother and a father who originally came from Sierra Leone\, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor rose to fame as a composer in his early twenties. One of his most notable pieces from his early career was Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast\, which he debuted in 1898. His influences were many\, but included traditional African music and Coleridge-Taylor took great pride in his own African heritage. In 1900 he participated in the First Pan-African Conference\, held in London\, as the youngest delegate. It was here that he met\, and formed a friendship with\, W. E. B. Du Bois.  \nSamuel Coleridge-Taylor wrote the Clarinet Quintet in response to a remark by his composition professor that it would be impossible to write a piece for the instrumentation that was not influenced by Johannes Brahms’ monumental Clarinet Quintet. In 1895 while still a student at the Royal Academy of Music\, Coleridge-Taylor rose to the challenge\, creating a work using a highly skilled and daring treatment of the instrumentation that drew upon his own rich musical heritage. The first documented 17 performances of Coleridge-Taylor’s Clarinet Quintet in the United States occurred in 1906 on his second US tour. Members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra performed the work on a program alongside selections from his Op. 57 Sorrow Songs and Op. 59 Twenty-four Negro Melodies. Coleridge-Taylor accompanied the great Black American composer and baritone Harry Burleigh\, who had famously succeeded in bringing spirituals to the American classical music stage. Notably\, Coleridge-Taylor donated proceeds from this performance to Atlanta University\, where W. E. B. Du Bois was teaching.

SUMMARY:Branford Marsalis Quartet
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n$69 – $99 (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member & Youth Discount Event   \n$69 Reserved\n$79 Preferred\n$99 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)  \nSaxophonist Branford Marsalis is one of the most influential and revered figures in contemporary music. The NEA Jazz Master\, Grammy Award winner\, and Tony and Emmy Award nominee is equally at home performing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead\, but the core of his musical universe remains the Branford Marsalis Quartet. After more than three decades of existence with minimal personnel changes\, this celebrated ensemble is revered for its uncompromising interpretation of a kaleidoscopic range of both original compositions and jazz and popular classics. After receiving Grammy nominations on its last two albums\, Upward Spiral and The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul\, the Quartet made its Blue Note Records debut with the release of Belonging\, a full album interpretation of Keith Jarrett's 1974 ECM album of the same name. The New York Times commented "Marsalis has tackled imposing jazz masterworks before…but at its best\, his 'Belonging' goes deeper…it's a performance that both honors and amplifies." John Zeugner captured the impact of the Quartet in a review of a live performance\, calling it "casually confident\, professional\, cerebral\, and supercharged with energy. The Branford Marsalis Quartet…was all of those adjectives and more."

A singer songwriter\, poet\, guimbri player\, dancer and world traveler\, Lala Tamar stirs ancient North African rituals into fresh\, feminine alchemy. She sings in Arabic\, Amazigh and Portuguese making music that feels like flipping through your grandmother’s photo album while dancing in a poppy dreamscape. \nLala made history as the first artist to record a contemporary album in Haquetia and one of the first women to introduce the Guimbri to new musical worlds. She’s shared stages with North African greats like Karim Ziad\, Khadija El Warzazia\, and Mehdi Nassouly\, and recently made her Lincoln Center debut in NYC. \nWith her new original album in the making\, written mainly in Darija\, Lala takes you on an intimate feminine Moroccan dive\, an up-beat tribute to her ancestry. Lala invites you to join her world: a place of play and poetry\, softness and strength\, where music isn’t just heard… it’s remembered. \nThe ensemble explores the sounds of a caravan moving through the Sahara\, shaabi grooves from Agahadir and Algiers\, African strings\, Arab ornamentations\, music for ceremonies of healing\, trances and spells of connection\, poetry pulled from distant centuries. It is an unforgettable evening of friendship\, love and humanity that transcend borders. \nMaster kora player Yacouba Sissoko devotes his musical gift to expand the awareness of West African history and culture\, spread the word of peace\, and empower his listeners to take charge and realize their imagined futures. His performances have a magical effect on audiences as he skillfully transforms the traditional songs and stories of his forefathers into modern day messages of peace\, love\, and harmony. Yacouba was born to a well-known Djeli family in Kita\, Mali. For centuries\, Djelis have been the musical storytellers\, a position that is inherited through a family bloodline. Highly respected within their communities\, they are the keepers of the factual history and the fictional fables of past rulers\, nobles\, social groups and families. The kora\, a 21-stringed plucked instrument with a gourd resonator\, is the traditional instrument accompanying their songs. At the age of 9\, Yacouba started learning the kora and the oral traditions associated with it from his grandfather. By 15\, he was touring the country sharing the stories passed down through his family for centuries. He attended the National Institute of the Arts in Bamako\, where he immediately caught the attention of the music world there and began touring with noted artists and ensembles such as Ami Koita\, Kandia Kouyate\, the Raoul Fulero Ensemble\, and l’Ensemble National du Mali (the orchestra that both his mother and grandmother sang with). Rooted to give back to the community\, Yacouba offers cultural programs and benefit concerts all over the world. He continues to blend his virtuosity effortlessly with other musical styles\, ranging from Indian ragas to Appalachian tunes. Currently\, Yacouba can be seen performing regularly with Regina Carter and his own band\, SIYA.

SUMMARY:Los Lonely Boys
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n$34 – $69 (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member & Youth Discount Event  \n$34 Limited Upper Balcony\n$49 Reserved\n$59 Preferred\n$69 Premium  \nFor Los Lonely Boys—brothers Henry\, Jojo\, and Ringo Garza—family has always been at the heart of their music. After years of touring\, the trio took a break in 2019 to focus on their families\, returning to the road in 2022 reinvigorated and even opening for The Who. \nHailing from San Angelo\, Texas\, the Garzas created their own bluesy “Texican rock & roll” sound and turned it into a global sensation. Their breakthrough came when Willie Nelson’s nephew discovered their demo; Willie soon booked them for Farm Aid and recorded with them at his studio. Their 2003 debut album\, Los Lonely Boys\, re-released by Epic\, featured the No. 1 hit “Heaven\,” which earned them a Grammy and spent 76 weeks on the Billboard Top 200\, selling over two million copies. \nThey’ve collaborated with legends like Carlos Santana and Willie Nelson\, played iconic venues\, and supported global causes. Their journey\, chronicled in the documentary Cottonfields and Crossroads\, has seen both triumph and hardship—most notably Henry’s serious stage accident in 2013\, which led the band to refocus on what matters most: family and music. \nNow back in stride\, Los Lonely Boys continue to write\, record\, and tour with renewed passion. Their 2024 release\, Resurrection (BMG)\, blends their signature Texican rock & roll with elements of soul and roots music\, earning critical acclaim and energizing live audiences. More than two decades after their debut\, they remain a vital force in music\, proving their story is still unfolding. \nOpening act: Lisa Morales \nSponsored by \n \n \n

SUMMARY:César Orozco & SonAhead
DESCRIPTION:RESERVA\n\nFREE\, Reservations required \nIn conjunction with Festival Latino of the Berkshires \nSonAhead is the latest project of Cuban-Venezuelan pianist\, vocalist\, composer\, arranger\, violinist\, and educator Cesar Orozco\, who is also a 2025 Latin Grammy winner for Best Arrangement. In addition to his work on piano\, arrangements\, and compositions\, Orozco takes center stage as the lead vocalist\, marking an exciting new chapter in his career. \n  \nThe name SonAhead speaks to its essence: a fusion of Cuban son—a foundational genre for what we now recognize as salsa—infused with elements of modern jazz\, electronic music\, and Cuban timba\, a vibrant style that emerged in the 1990s which has deeply influenced Orozco since his teenage years. Listeners will find echoes of legendary timba groups like NG La Banda\, El Médico de la Salsa\, and Isaac Delgado woven throughout the music of SonAhead.\n  \nWhile stepping into the role of lead vocalist may seem novel to those who have followed Orozco’s career as a pianist over the past two decades\, it’s not his first foray into this territory. During his studies at the National School of Arts (ENA) in Cuba\, he formed his own band\, serving as bandleader\, arranger\, composer\, and vocalist.   \nGratis; se requiere reserva  \nEn colaboración con el Festival Latino de los Berkshires \nSonAhead es el último proyecto del pianista\, vocalista\, compositor\, arreglista\, violinista y educador cubano-venezolano César Orozco\, quien también es ganador del Latin Grammy 2025 al Mejor Arreglo. Además de su trabajo en piano\, arreglos y composiciones\, Orozco ocupa el rol protagónico de vocalista principal\, marcando un nuevo y emocionante capítulo en su carrera.   El nombre SonAhead habla de su esencia: una fusión de son cubano—un género fundamental de lo que hoy reconocemos como salsa—impregnada con elementos de jazz moderno\, música electrónica y timba cubana\, un estilo vibrante que surgió en los años 90 y que ha influido profundamente en Orozco desde su adolescencia. Los oyentes encontrarán ecos de legendarios grupos de timba como NG La Banda\, El Médico de la Salsa e Isaac Delgado entretejidos en la música de SonAhead.  Aunque asumir el papel de vocalista principal pueda parecer novedoso para quienes han seguido la carrera de Orozco como pianista durante las dos últimas décadas\, no es su primera incursión en este terreno. Durante sus estudios en la Escuela Nacional de Artes (ENA) de Cuba\, formó su propia banda\, desempeñándose como director de banda\, arreglista\, compositor y vocalista.

SUMMARY:Raul Midón
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n$49 General Admission (plus processing fees)\nCafé table seating \nMember Sale:\nWednesday\, May 27 at noon \nPublic Sale:\nThursday\, May 28 at noon \nGrammy-nominated singer-songwriter and guitarist Raul Midón has built a genre-defying career that blends soul\, jazz\, Latin rhythms\, and acoustic virtuosity into a sound entirely his own. Blind since birth\, Midón has often been described as a “one-man band”—turning his guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus (The New York Times). His artistry has earned praise from icons such as Quincy Jones (“his music makes you smile”)\, Elton John (who called State of Mind a “soul classic”)\, and Bill Withers\, who championed his music.  \nMidón first captivated audiences worldwide with his breakthrough album State of Mind\, produced by the legendary Arif Mardin. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary\, the album remains a touchstone of modern soul and jazz. Over the years\, he has collaborated with a remarkable range of artists\, from Herbie Hancock\, Stevie Wonder\, and Marcus Miller to Snoop Dogg and Roberta Flack. He has performed with orchestras\, at jazz festivals across the globe\, and even appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show to debut new work.  \nA true eclectic adventurist (People)\, Midón continues to push boundaries. His latest album\, Lost & Found (2024)\, released on his own ReKondite ReKords label\, showcases his evolution as a storyteller and composer while reaffirming the joyful\, borderless spirit that defines his music. Whether onstage with only his guitar or accompanied by full orchestra\, Raul Midón embodies what The Guardian once called a “totally musical mind at work.”
