Robert 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.

Adam Gopnik, noted New Yorker writer and best-selling author, brings his new one-man show, Adam Gopnik's New York, to the Mahaiwe's mainstage. Produced by Steve Martin and James L Nederlander, Adam Gopnik's New York delivers mischief, meanings, and tales that shimmer with insight and charm, in an intimate and luxurious evening of entertainment.
"The show includes everything from the making of Central Park, which is a microcosm of everything we love about New York City, to the story of my own psychoanalysis, the most unsuccessful in the history of therapy," says Gopnik.
Critic Robert Siegel shared praise in The New York Times: "[Adam Gopnik] gave a performance of his one man show about life in New York with great emphasis on his misadventures in psychoanalysis, which was both hilarious and very wise."
A staff writer at The New Yorker, Gopnik has been contributing to magazine since 1986. During his tenure, he has written fiction, humor, criticism, book reviews, personal essays, Profiles, and reported pieces from abroad. He was the magazine's art critic from 1987 to 1995 and the Paris correspondent from 1995 to 2000. From 2000 to 2005, he wrote a journal about New York life.

Broadway never sounds better than when it swings. With the greatest contemporary jazz musicians, Michael Feinstein swings the songbook into the 21st Century.
Featuring music from quintessential shows such as Cabaret, Hello Dolly, and Fiddler on the Roof to Into the Woods, and Chicago, Big Band Broadway delivers modern and classic showtunes with the timeless tradition of Carnegie Hall in a way that only Michael Feinstein can do.
The show also brings to bear the history of Carnegie Hall, which has been connected to the American big band for decades. Icons from across the 20th and 21st Century have graced the stage of Carnegie Hall, from Benny Goodman to Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong to Ella Fitzgerald and from Frank Sinatra to of course, Tony Bennett. A multi-media element of the show will help to bring this history to life onstage.
Michael Feinstein has built a dazzling career over the last three decades bringing the music of the Great American songbook to the world. From recordings that have earned him five Grammy Award nominations to his Emmy nominated PBS-TV specials, his acclaimed NPR series and concerts spanning the globe – in addition to his appearances at iconic venues such as The White House, Buckingham Palace, Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall and Sydney Opera House – his work as an educator and archivist defines Feinstein as one of the most important musical forces of our time.

For over two decades, Railroad Earth has captivated audiences with gleefully unpredictable live shows and eloquent and elevated studio output. The group introduced its signature sound on 2001's The Black Bear Sessions. Between selling out hallowed venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, they've been responsible for launching signature festivals Hangtown Music Festival in Placerville, CA and Hillberry: The Harvest Moon Festival in Eureka Springs, AR. Sought after by legends, the John Denver Estate tapped them to put lyrics penned by the late John Denver to music on the 2019 vinyl EP, Railroad Earth: The John Denver Letters. Beyond tallying tens of millions of streams, the collective have earned widespread critical acclaim from David Fricke of Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, Glide Magazine, and NPR who assured, "Well-versed in rambling around, as you might expect from a band named after a Jack Kerouac poem, the New Jersey-built jam-grass engine Railroad Earth has let no moss grow under its rustic wheels."

Vivaldi's iconic Four Seasons (with his accompanying sonnets) and Piazzolla's sultry Four Seasons of Buenos Aires meet in a program where time, place, and style intertwine. From the bright renewal of Spring to the icy slips of Winter, Vivaldi paints nature in Baroque brilliance. One of the earliest examples of "program music," his work evokes creeks, birds, storms, drunken dancers, and warm fires. Piazzolla's southern-hemisphere vision pulses with tango rhythms and urban melancholy, reframing the seasons through the lens of Buenos Aires. 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.
