New York, 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
Dorothy Parker, The Algonquin Round Table and Manhattan Come to Hudson
In honor of the one hundredth anniversary of Dorothy Parker’s first publication in the New Yorker (this is a lie but please go with it) we are presenting not only a poetry salon, but a poetry saloon. How is that possible? First, we will read approximately twenty of her poems aloud. We will discuss her style, mechanics, haunting humor and rhyme scheme. Then, with courage, conviction and a contemporary eye, we will write our own poems a la Parker. Satirical, cutting, timely. The workshop will culminate in a reading around CL’s mahogany, rectangular table.
$20 for Non-Members | Free for Members

A.J. CROCE: CROCE PLAYS CROCE AT THE MAHAIWE
Great Barrington, 7:30pm
Acclaimed singer songwriter, piano virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist A.J. Croce is once again taking his celebrated Croce Plays Crocetour across the country, bringing audiences an unforgettable evening of music that bridges generations and celebrates the enduring power of song.
Son of the legendary singer songwriter, Jim Croce, A.J. purposefully waited thirty years to perform his father’s music, only introducing his acclaimed Croce Plays Croce tour when he felt there was a meaningful way to honor his musical legacy with depth, intention, and musical integrity. Croce Plays Croce showcases that legacy in a way that few concerts can. The show features a moving and energetic blend of Jim Croce’s legendary songs — such as “Operator”, “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim,” “Bad Bad Leroy Brown” and “Time in a Bottle” — alongside A.J.’s own acclaimed originals. Through stories, humor, and remarkable musicianship, A.J. connects audiences to both his father’s iconic body of work and his own evolution as one of today’s most respected artists.

Great Barrington, 4:00PM
Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center, Great Barrington, MA
Benny Goodman’s musical legacy reaches beyond jazz. Bartók’s Contrasts, written for Goodman and violinist Joseph Szigeti, shares the program with Mozart’s beloved Clarinet Quintet as Close Encounters With Music opens its 35th season.
Clarinetist Alexander Fiterstein brings these two works into focus: Mozart’s singing lines and the beauty of the clarinet among the strings, and Bartók’s restless exchanges between clarinet, violin and piano. Beethoven’s spirited Trio in B-flat major, Op. 11, and music by Gershwin complete the afternoon.
Fiterstein performs with pianist Michael Chertock, violinists Xiao-Dong Wang and Helena Baillie, violist Daniel Panner, and cellist and artistic director Yehuda Hanani. Hanani’s lively commentary explores the people and cultural circumstances behind the music, offering more to listen for in each work.
Stay for the Afterglow reception, open to all audience members, to meet the musicians and continue the conversation.
Tickets: $35 balcony / $60 orchestra, plus processing fees.
Reserve your seats at cewm.org.
