SUMMARY:Christian Sands Trio
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS– \n$57 General Admission\nCafé table seating  \nChristian Sands — Steinway Artist and five-time Grammy nominee — is an emerging jazz force. His abundant piano technique perfectly matches his conception\, accomplishing a much deeper musical goal: a fresh look at the entire language of jazz. Whether it's stride\, swing\, bebop\, progressive\, fusion\, Brazilian or Afro-Cuban\, Sands develops the past while providing unusual and stimulating vehicles for the present… and for the future. He expresses himself through an extensive vocabulary of patterns\, textures and structures\, all the while maintaining a strong sense of understatement\, sensitivity\, taste and swing. Since arriving on the scene\, Sands has shared the stage with such jazz luminaries as Wynton Marsalis\, Dianne Reeves\, Sheila E\, Warren Wolf\, Tia Fuller\, Gary Burton\, Stefan Harris\, Terri Lyne Carrington\, Jason Moran\, Geri Allen\, Ben Williams\, Randy Brecker\, Steve Johns\, Avery Sharpe\, James Moody\, Bill Evans (sax)\, Russell Malone\, Terence Blanchard\, Louis Hayes\, Patti Austin\, Marcus Baylor\, Craig Handy\, Carl Allen\, Kirk Whalum\, and Wycliffe Gordon\, as well as iconic cellist Yo-Yo Ma.

The Scottsboro Boys Museum traveling exhibit will also be available for public viewing at the venue before and after the program.  \nThe program will feature Dr. Thomas Reidy\, Executive Director of the Scottsboro Boys Museum\, in conversation with Dr. Whitney Battle-Baptiste\, Director of the W.E.B. Du Bois Center at UMass Amherst\, moderated by Marcus P. Smith\, History and Archival Fellow at the Du Bois Freedom Center. Sponsored by the Du Bois Freedom Center in conjunction with the Scottsboro Boys Exhibit\, the program centers on one of the most notorious legal injustices in U.S. history—the 1931 false accusation of nine Black teenagers known as the Scottsboro Boys—and reflects on the legacy of the late Sheila Washington\, founder of the Scottsboro Boys Museum. The discussion will examine Washington’s pivotal role in securing the men’s posthumous exoneration through the 2013 Scottsboro Boys Act\, as well as the museum’s ongoing work addressing public memory\, accountability\, and justice.

SUMMARY:Met Opera Live in HD: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n  \n$25 / $10 ages 21 and under\nConnectorCare/WIC/EBT Card to Culture*   \nDue to popular demand\, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay\, recorded live earlier this season\, will be presented as a special screening. In this exhilarating new adaptation of Michael Chabon’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel\, two Jewish cousins invent an anti-fascist superhero and launch their own comic-book series\, hoping to recruit America into the fight against Nazism. Incorporating scintillating electronic elements and a variety of musical styles\, composer Mason Bates’s eclectic score moves seamlessly among the three worlds of Gene Scheer’s libretto: Nazi-occupied Prague\, the bustling streets of New York City\, and the technicolor realm of comic-book fantasy. Bartlett Sher’s production provides spectacular visuals to match\, with towering sets and proscenium-filling projections designed by 59 Studio. Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met premiere-production\, with baritone Andrzej Filończyk as the artist Joe Kavalier\, who flees Czechoslovakia and arrives at the Brooklyn doorstep of writer Sam Clay\, sung by tenor Miles Mykkanen.  \nWarning: Adult content and language \n*We accept ConnectorCare/WIC/EBT cards!

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
