May 27  EVENING @ A VENETIAN PALAZZO: FERRARI, MERULA AND ROVETTA
Doctorow Center For The Arts
7950 Main Street - Hunter, NY  (518) 263-2063.
With Tracy Cowart, mezzo-soprano; Nathan Hodgson, tenor; Rachel Evans and Leah Nelson, baroque violins; Hsuan-Wen Chen, harpsichord; Richard Kolb, theorbo, archlute, and baroque guitar; Anne Trout, violone

Seventeenth-century Venice was one of the most important centers of musical activity in all of Europe. The most prestigious of all musical events were lavish operas meant to display princely wealth and sophistication. Before the introduction of commercial opera, these were rare events seen only by the most well-connected members of elite society. Yet the taste for staged or partially staged musical performances was widespread throughout all levels of society, particularly in Venice where the Carnival season attracted visitors from all over Europe. This performance is a re-creation of an entertainment that might have taken place in one of the Venetian palazzos during the mid-1630’s. Over the course of an evening, two lovers, Licori and Titiro, will find their way through a series of mishaps and reunions through arias and duets by some of the most famous Venetian composers of the day.

May 28    CAKE
MASS MoCA
87 MASS MoCA Way - North Adams, MA
To cap off the opening weekend of an expanded MASS MoCA (a project that will nearly double our space for exhibitions and that we hear will make us the largest contemporary art museum in the country), we chose CAKE, a five-piece band whose mission from the outset was to make its lyrics smart, its sound pure, and its music a good time. …Trumpet, anyone?

CAKE made its mark flying in the face of convention — an anti-grunge, post-pop band who scripted smart lyrics, stripped away the original over-engineering of its live shows in order to broadcast those lyrics with laser beam precision — and above all, always have fun doing it. This high-minded, low-tech approach manifested an impossible-to-pin-down, witty and gritty, yet wildly welcoming and familiar sound — and a mainstream following of cult-like devotion. The New York Times says, “Cake’s songs are lean and catchy, harking back to the 1960’s and ’70’s. John McCrea sings and occasionally raps over blues licks, folk-rock strumming, and country twang along with pre-disco funk.”

We’ll take that, and you, for a weekend-capping concert to celebrate 120,000 sq. ft. of new galleries and do as we do on this weekend every year: kick off summer, MASS MoCA-style.
