The cultural highlights for our region this weekend include chamber music, orchestral music, experimental music, indie-pop … plus a whole lot more.
The Mahaiwe in Great Barrington, Mass., presents Heartbeat Opera’s Breathing Free, a visual album screened for free on Saturday at 7 p.m. Breathing Free focuses on Black empowerment in the arts, featuring excerpts from Beethoven’s Fidelio, a selection of Negro Spirituals, and songs by Harry T. Burleigh, Florence Price, Langston Hughes, Anthony Davis, and Thulani Davis. Immediately following the event there will be a live virtual talkback with the concert’s creators, Ethan Heard and Ras Dia. Although the event is free, registration is required – find details at mahaiwe.org.
