STEVE FORBERT, KLEZMER, OPERA, EARLY MUSIC top Berkshire weekend's cultural offerings
The busy cultural weekend in the Berkshires is full of classical music this weekend, as well as a few other cultural opportunities:
• Tonight, the Berkshire Bach Society presents a semi-staged concert version of Gluck’s operatic masterpiece, Orfeo and Euridice, at 8 p.m. at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in Great Barrington. James Bagwell directs the production, feature Teresa Buchholz as Orfeo, Rachel Schutz as Euridice, the Berkshire Bach Singers, soloists, and orchestral ensemble. [413.528.0100]
• On Saturday, the Aston Magna early music series presents the music of Purcell and Handel, featuring mezzo-soprano Deborah Rentz-Moore, at the St James Church in Great Barrington at 6. [413-528-3595, www.astonmagna.org]
• Also on Saturday, Judith Davidoff and the Consort of Viols perform Renaissance and Baroque music at 8 at the Sandisfield Arts Center [413.258.4100]
• On Sunday at the The Clark in Williamstown, the Walden Chamber Players perform music by Schnittke, Elliott Carter and several local composers, including Sheila Silver, Alice Spatz, performing her Meditations on Peace for oboe, violin, viola, cello, and harp, and Larry Wallach’s Forest Music II, featuring the same instrumentation as Spatz’s piece. [866.393.2927, www.waldenchamberplayers.org]
• In Great Barrington and in another vein entirely, Club Helsinki presents a weekend of music including Bearfoot, an award-winning acoustic bluegrass and Americana group featuring three female lead vocalists and musicians hailing from Alaska, the birthplace of bluegrass – NOT – performing tonight. Tomorrow night at 9, folk-rock singer-songwriter Steve Forbert brings his neverending one-man tour back to Helsinki. While Forbert specializes in narratives and love songs drawn from small-town America and New York’s Lower East Side, there’s always a hint of punk-rock energy in his performances. [413.528.3394, www.clubhelsinkiweb.com]
• Shakespeare and Company has been touring a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream around New England, and they bring it all back home tonight at 7 in the Founders’ Theatre, where all seats go for a measly ten bucks. [413.637.3353, www.shakespeare.org]
• Dance fans can see what the students at Williams College have been up to tonight and tomorrow night at the spring dance concert at 7:30 in the 62 Center on the Williams campus in Williamstown, while the Williams College Symphonic Winds blow their reeds out at 8 p.m. tonight in Chapin Hall.
• The Berkshire Museum offers a gala preview of Galleries in Bloom, a celebration of arts and flowers, tonight. [413.443.7171]
• Over in the Northampton area, Michael Winograd, one of the up-and-coming stars of the klezmer renaissance, brings his ensemble to the National Yiddish Book Center, located on the campus of Hampshire College, on Sunday at 2. Winograd is one of today's finest young klezmer clarinetists, having performed and recorded with the likes of the Klezmatics, Frank London's Klezmer Brass Allstars, Alicia Svigals, Mikveh, Michael Alpert, Shtreiml, Socalled, Adrienne Cooper, and The Klezmer Conservatory Band. He founded the Boston based ensemble Khevre, and now leads the Michael Winograd Klezmer Ensemble in New York City. Others in the band include Joey Wiesenberg on mandolin, Patrick Farrell on accordion, Daniel Blacksberg on trombone, Nick Cudahy on bass, Pete Rushefsky on tsimbl, and Judith Berkson on vocals.[413.256.4900, www.yiddishbookcenter.org.]
