June 25 - 26  ALEC SOTH & DAVE KING: THE PALMS
MASS MoCA
1040 MASS MoCA Way - North Adams, MA (413) 662-2111
Photographer Alec Soth — “a celebrated chronicler of American contemporary life” (The Guardian) — collaborates for the first time with drummer/composer Dave King of the jazz duo The Bad Plus, who is “better than anyone at mixing the sensibilities of post-‘60s jazz and indie rock” (The New York Times). The result: The Palms, a semi-improvised, photo-sharing, new work-in-progress performance that delves into the physicality of memory that’s been lost in our digital age.

The first work-in-progress showing at MASS MoCA in over a year, we're thrilled to welcome audiences back behind the curtain to be part of the art-making process.

June 26  TOUR OF BILL NOBLE'S VERMONT GARDEN
Berkshire Botanical Gardens
5 West Stockbridge Street - Stockbridge, MA (413) 298-3926
Author and garden designer Bill Noble will lead participants on a tour of his celebrated Vermont garden, which surrounds an 1830s Vermont farmhouse and barn, with stone walls, fields and views of neighboring farms and distant mountains. The garden reflects Bill's horticultural path from market gardener to garden designer. The garden features a bountiful perennial garden, vegetable garden and orchard, rock gardens and shrub borders, surrounded by fields and meadows. The focal point is a mixed border of shrubs and hardy perennials, while remnants of barn foundations offer a setting for alpines, ferns, ornamental grasses and shrubs. Foliage and texture predominate. The garden is an ongoing experiment with plants and ideas gathered from other gardens and gardeners. It is the subject of Noble’s book, Spirit of Place: The Making of a New England Garden, published in June, 2020 by Timber Press. Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase. Refreshments will be provided on-site. Participants are responsible for their own transportation and will receive the address upon registration $70/Members: $65

June 27  ASTON MAGNA: THE STRING TRIOS OF MOZART (VIRTUAL)
Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center
14 Castle Street - VIRTUAL - Great Barrington, MA (413) 528-0100
FREE

Mozart composed chamber music for from two to seven players, and no matter how large the ensemble, he had a gift for filling the musical space. His two Duos for violin and viola are composed in a way that creates a full texture; one feels nothing is missing. His quartets and quintets are among the glories of the chamber music repertoire. The same is true for his one completed string trio — a Divertimento for violin, viola and cello. The title implies a lighter, less serious work than his quartets, but this is decidedly not the case here. It is a full-fledged, sonata-like work with two extra movements: a second minuet, and a very elaborate variations movement. Mozart clearly enjoyed the compositional challenge of this ensemble and began another, in G Major, completing only half of an opening movement. A recent vogue in completing his unfinished works has rendered us some fresh new Mozart.

Daniel Stepner on violin; Marcus Thompson on viola; Jacques Lee Wood on cello
