SUMMARY:Close Encounters With Music: Saluting the Clarinet – Mozart\, Beethoven\, Bartok and Gershwin
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    \n“Peter and the Wolf” and “Rhapsody in Blue”; in opera it’s a near-protagonist in “The Magic Flute\,” “La Traviata” and “The Barber of Seville” as composers delineate atmosphere and character motifs. 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.

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  \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\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. \nSponsored by \n \n

SUMMARY:Sean Mason Trio
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n$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.
