The Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center and Close Encounters With Music present The Sebastians Baroque Ensemble, on April 3, 2021, from the Mahaiwe stage to YouTube.
The Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center and Close Encounters With Music partnered to present a free virtual recital, "From Bach to Bachianas," with guitarist Eliot Fisk and cellist Yehuda Hanani. The performance was originally live streamed from the Mahaiwe stage to Facebook. The program includes works by Schubert, Gabriel Fauré, Villa-Lobos, Ernesto Lecuona, Cesar Cui, J. S. Bach and Vittorio Monti’s Gypsy Czardas. All are original arrangements by the two performers.
Faced with the pandemic, and the closure of the physical campus of the Berkshire School in Sheffield MA, rather than being defeated by COVID-19, Berkshire High Peaks Festival mounted its 11th annual festival virtually! BHPF is part of Close Encounters With Music, a chamber music performance and education organization in the Berkshires, which brings you Part 1 of their crowdsourced "Moonlight Sonata" concert.
This Berkshire High Peaks Festival virtual concert offers brilliant young participants, international faculty and alumni on an array of instruments — violin, viola, cello, guitar, voice and piano — and with varied repertoire. Our participants are performing from Italy, Argentina, Switzerland, Korea, China, Israel, Romania, Mexico, Iceland, Cayman Islands, and across the U.S. Moonlight Sonatas offer everything from Vivaldi to Villa-Lobos, Rossini and Puccini to Brahms and Boulanger.
