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. \n\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.”

SUMMARY:A.J. Croce: Croce Plays Croce
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n$45 to $70 (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Members & Youth Discount Event  \nMember Sale:\nWednesday\, May 13 at 10am online\, noon via the Box Office \nPublic Sale:\nFriday\, May 15 at noon \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: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  \nMember Sale: \nWednesday\, June 10 at 10am online\, noon via the Box Office  \nPublic Sale: \nFriday\, June 12 at 10am online\, noon via the Box Office  \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.

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.

It stood out in the midst of the flash and bombast that came to define the late 80’s. 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. \n\nSponsored by \n \n

SUMMARY:Sean Mason Trio
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS$49 General Admission\nCafé table seating  \nMember Sale: \nWednesday\, August 19 at noon  \nPublic Sale: \nFriday\, August 21 at noon  \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.

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.

SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: Dvorak – In the New World and Old World

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 Dvorak's vocal output with selections from his Biblical Songs\, the Gypsy Songs cycle and others reflecting his abiding affection for Czech and Bohemian culture.

SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: World Premiere – Metamorphosis\, Love
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    \nJorge Martin\, Kenji Bunch\,  \nOmar Najmi\, tenor;  Dana Varga\, soprano; Samuel  Solomon and Nancy Zeltsman\, percussion;  Max  Levinson\, piano;  Yehuda Hanani\, cello  \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 Jorge Martin\, 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\, Faure\, Poulenc and Finzi.  It’s all about transcendence and love.
