SUMMARY:Revolution 250 Presents: 250th Anniversary Commemoration of Henry Knox’s Noble Train of Artillery
DESCRIPTION:RESERVE\n  \nFREE\, Reservations required  \nJoin the towns of the Berkshires as we commemorate the 250th anniversary of one of the most extraordinary feats of the American Revolution: Colonel Henry Knox’s daring winter journey to bring the captured cannon of Fort Ticonderoga to the Continental Army in Boston. In January 1776\, Knox’s massive caravan of oxen\, sleds\, and artillery wound its way through the Berkshires—passing directly through Great Barrington—on its way to reshape the balance of the siege and\, ultimately\, the fate of the Revolution.  \nThis special anniversary event will highlight the Berkshire’s role in the epic “Noble Train of Artillery\,” celebrating the ingenuity\, determination\, and community spirit that made Knox’s mission possible. Featuring historical presentations\, living history demonstrations\, family-friendly activities\, and period music\, the commemoration will bring to life the challenges of transporting more than 60 tons of artillery across frozen rivers\, steep hills\, and snow-covered roads.  \nResidents\, visitors\, and history enthusiasts are invited to gather in honor of the men\, animals\, and townspeople whose perseverance helped secure the Continental Army’s first great strategic victory. As we mark this milestone in America’s founding story\, towns throughout the Berkshires proudly remember its place along the path that helped lead to independence.  \nThe commemorative program at the Mahaiwe theater will include remarks from Massachusetts Daughters of the American Revolution State Regent Mary Tedesco\, Revolution 250 Committee Chair Professor Robert J. Allison\, representatives from the Office of the Governor of Massachusetts\, State Sen. Paul Mark (D – Berkshire\, Hampden\, Franklin\, and Hampshire District)\, and State Rep. Leigh Davis (D – 3rd Berkshire District). \nA central feature of the program will be the presentation of commemorative plaques to representatives of the Berkshire communities that aided Knox and his men along the route: Alford\, North Egremont\, Great Barrington\, Monterey\, Sandisfield\, Otis\, Russell\, and Blandford. These presentations honor not only the historic role these towns played in supporting the Noble Train\, but also the collective sacrifice and cooperation that sustained the cause of American independence. \nFor more information on Berkshires 250 programming visit https://berkshires.org/berkshires250/

SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: Vivace Chamber Orchestra – Mozart\, Mendelssohn\, Britten\, Bruch
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS$35 Balcony / $60 Orchestra\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event\n \n  \nThe Vivace players return! This New York-based chamber music collective shares the aim of performing the greatest works in the repertoire at the highest level. Their program is curated to showcase both unity of ensemble and rare musicianship. Looking back\, Mozart's Adagio and Fugue in C minor employs Bach's contrapuntal style but pushes into daring\, unexpected harmonies that sound as though they were composed a century later. Mendelssohn's miraculous Octet in E-flat major bursts with youthful verve and brilliance. At just 16\, he directed in the score that "This Octet must be played by all the instruments in symphonic orchestral style." Britten's Simple Symphony movements reveal his sense of fun and wit\, while Max Bruch's Kol Nidrei speaks in a universal voice—moving from supplication to promise and redemption.  \nVivace Chamber Orchestra\nYehuda Hanani\, cello

SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: “The Golem” - A Vision in Sound and Cinema with the Avalon String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n  \n$35 Balcony / $60 Orchestra\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event\n \nMahaiwe Member Sale: \nFriday\, September 5 at noon  \nPublic Sale: \nWednesday\, September 10 at noon \nMahaiwe Members receive $5 off each ticket \nMonsters and magic spells! A masterwork of German expressionist cinema meets a live\, klezmer-infused score in a vibrant feast for the eyes and ears. Paul Wegener’s pioneering 1920 silent horror film Der Golem was so popular on release that it sold out movie houses in both Germany and America for months\, inspired Golem-themed operettas\, and became a critical influence on the 1931 film Frankenstein. Drawn from a medieval Jewish legend\, Der Golem tells the tale of the Jews of 16th-century Prague\, who create a giant figure out of clay to protect themselves—only to see it turn on them with violence. To heighten the atmosphere\, Israeli-born composer Betty Olivero weaves together traditional Yiddish folk tunes and Jewish liturgical music into a haunting score for clarinet and strings. Colorful\, ominous\, and electrifying\, the experience of hearing live musicians accompany the action on the big screen promises to be unforgettable.  \nThe Avalon String Quartet: Blaise Magnière\, violin; Marie Wang\, violin; Anthony Devroye\, viola; Cheng-Hou Lee\, cello\nSaerom Kim\, clarinet; Jonathan Yates\, conductor  \nThe Avalon String Quartet “—an ensemble that invites you—ears\, mind\, and spirit—into its music.” — Chicago Tribune  \n
