SUMMARY:Samantha Bee: How to Survive Menopause
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n$45 – $85 (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Member & Youth Discount Event  \nMember Sale: \nWednesday\, August 12 at 10am\, noon via Box Office  \nPublic Sale: \nFriday\, August 14 at 10am\, noon via Box Office  \n$45 Limited Upper Balcony\n$50 Reserved\n$60 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)  \nSamantha Bee wants to talk about menopause. She actually doesn’t want to\, but she must. In How To Survive Menopause\, Bee comically shares everything she has learned through the process in an intimate one-woman show\, because everyone needs that best friend who will keep it real for them. Like\, really real. This is a show for anyone who is going through it\, has gone through it\, will be going through it\, or knows someone currently going through it…basically the entire population.  \nAbout Samantha Bee: \nSamantha Bee has quickly established herself as having one of the most unique and sharp comedic voices on television.   \nBorn and raised in Toronto\, Canada\, Bee began her career performing as a member of the all-female sketch comedy troupe The Atomic Fireballs.    \nIn 2003\, Bee joined Comedy Central’s The Daily Show‘s “Best F#@king News Team.” Bee departed The Daily Show in 2015 and currently holds the title for being the longest-serving regular Daily Show correspondent of all time (12 years).    \nIn 2016\, Bee received global recognition from the success of her very own weekly late-night comedy series\, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee\, which premiered in 2016 and ran for seven seasons on TBS. Full Frontal offered a unique satirical take on weekly news and explores other important stories in-depth that have been largely overlooked by more traditional media outlets. Full Frontal received rave reviews\, and the show was picked up by TBS for a full season within weeks of its premiere. In a landscape of male late-night talk show hosts\, critics have appreciated Bee’s “fiery and fierce” delivery (The New York Times) and have embraced Full Frontal as a “daring\, innovative addition to the late-night slate” (Entertainment Weekly).     \nBee is the author of the essay collection I Know I Am\, But What Are You? and has been featured in TIME 100: The Most Influential People.  She is also the host of ‘Full Release\,’ a podcast featuring in-depth conversations with the best and rightest of people about how to navigate the ever-changing world and what to laugh about along the way.   \nBee and her husband Jason Jones also co-created the half-hour comedy series\, The Detour\, which ran for four seasons on TBS. The Detour\, which stars Jones\, was inspired by their personal experiences on family getaways. The show follows Nate (Jones)\, Robin (Natalie Zea) and their two kids\, Delilah and Jared\, for what Nate believes will be the adventure of a lifetime on a road trip to Florida\, which quickly turns into a disaster.   \nIn 2018\, Bee announced her new production company\, Swimsuit Competition\, co-founded with “Full Frontal” producer Kristen Everman. Swimsuit Competition aims to create inclusive\, narrative and documentary television and will develop content for TBS.

SUMMARY:Cowboy Junkies - Celebrating 40 Years and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n$40 to $65 (plus processing fees)\nMahaiwe Members & Youth Discount Event  \nMember Sale: \nWednesday\, June 3 at 10am online\, noon via the Box Office  \nPublic Sale: \nFriday\, June 5 at 10am online\, noon via the Box Office  \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“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 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:Close Encounters With Music: Dvorak – In the New World and Old World
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    \nAnna Polonsky\, piano; Miranda Cuckson and Giora Schmidt\, violins; Helena Baillie\, viola; Yehuda Hanani\, cello; Tyler Duncan\, baritone  \nFrom humble beginnings to stardom\, Antonin Dvorak straddled two centuries\, two continents\,  rural and urban sensibilities and folk styles inspired by Czech and Slavic traditional music as well as by an American sojourn.  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 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.
