Nashua Arts - Garrison Keillor Tonight

Nashua Center for the Arts

Garrison Keillor Tonight is an evening of stand-up, storytelling, audience song, and poetry. One man, one microphone. There are sung sonnets, limericks and musical jokes, and the thread that runs through it is the beauty of growing old.

Brad Mehldau, Christian McBride, Marcus Gilmore

Groton Hill Music Center

Join us for a rare opportunity to experience a special Concert Hall collab with three Grammy-winning jazz artists who rarely tour together.

One of the most lyrical voices of contemporary jazz piano, Brad Mehldau’s unique path embodies the essence of jazz exploration, classical romanticism and pop allure. He has worked with artists including Pat Metheny, Renée Fleming, and Joshua Redman, and garnered awards and admiration for his own compositions and re-workings of songs by The Beatles, Cole Porter, Radiohead, Paul Simon, and George Gershwin.

Bassist, composer, and bandleader Christian McBride fronts acclaimed ensembles including Inside Straight and The Christian McBride Big Band. From a kaleidoscope of jazz styles to R&B, and pop/rock, Latin, and hip-hop/neo-soul to classical, McBride’s expansive skills have produced nine Grammy awards. In addition, he is Artistic Director of the Newport Jazz Festival, Creative Chair for Jazz with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and hosts National Public Radio’s Jazz Night in America.

Drummer and composer Marcus Gilmore – grandson of iconic drummer Roy Haynes – can be heard on the soundtrack for the film “Soul.” He has worked with Pharoah Sanders, Ravi Coltrane, Robert Glasper, Vijay Iyer, Derrick Hodge, Jill Scott, Norah Jones, Terrence Blanchard, Roy Hargrove, and Terrace Martin.

Boston Philharmonic - Mahler Symphony No. 2

Symphony Hall

There is nothing like Mahler’s Symphony No. 2. It is an apocalyptic work requiring vast forces: a giant orchestra, as well as an organ, chorus, two soloists and multiple offstage musicians. Mahler poses the great questions of life and provides heart-stopping answers. In the finale the earth quakes, graves burst open, the last trumpet sounds, and a heavenly choir reassures all humankind: "Rise again, yes, thou shalt rise again." Of the culminating moments Mahler wrote: "A feeling of overwhelming love fills us with blissful knowledge and illuminates our existence."

Dame Sarah Connolly, acclaimed as one of the greatest Mahler singers in living memory, sings the mezzo-soprano part, which includes the ineffable song "Urlicht." Her 2022 BPO performance of Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde sublimely demonstrated the poignancy that she brings to Mahler's music. She and Swedish soprano Miah Persson sing the mezzo and soprano part, respectively, on Maestro Zander's recording of the Mahler Second with the London Philharmonia Orchestra (you can hear it here). The authenticity that both bring to Mahler's music perfectly matches my vision.
