WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTS for Dec. 1-3


1. Tonight at Colonial in Pittsfield, Nnenna Freelon

2 Tomorrow night at Mahaiwe, CEWM, CANTIGA

A holiday concert, “Cantiga! Vocal and Instrumental Music from the Land of 3 Faiths” Saturday, December 2, 6 PM Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center explores the musical world of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, with songs of the troubadours, from the courts, chapels and palaces of Andalusia and Castile, and Sephardic and Ladino songs from Spain and Italy, performed a cappella and with the accompaniment of fascinating ancient instruments by the Rose Ensemble of Minneapolis. The lyrics of the cantigas, or songs, reflect the great richness of lives of nobility and commoner—pilgrims, minstrels, gentry, and merchants in tales of piety, lust, and deliverance.
