Soprano Kristine Opolais returns as soloist in Mahler’s Symphony No. 4. On this same program, Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes performs Rachmaninoff’s last piano concerto, and opening the concert is a suite of orchestral music from Shostakovich’s score for Grigory Kozintsev’s 1941 stage production of Shakespeare’s King Lear, to be recorded for the BSO’s ongoing Shostakovich
cycle under Andris Nelsons for Deutsche Grammophon. Previous registration required.

The engine behind the Impressionists. The artist whose direct observation of nature, atmosphere and light is most associated with the ideals of Impressionism. Join us for a retrospective look at his life, his work, his influence and his contribution to the most revolutionary new style of painting.

This vintage swing and jump band returns to Southgate for your post-dinner dancing pleasure. The Riders beat will keep you on your feet. Don’t miss it!

We have all kept secrets. Our secrets may range from the inconsequential, exhilarating and silly to the dark, shaming and traumatic. We will explore the secretive personality, why we keep secrets, the burdens they place on us and the power and relief we may gain when we choose to disclose them.

Join us for a spot of tea and light refreshments as a prelude to the day we honor those most important ladies in our lives! We’ll be serenaded by “Jesse and the Roomates” featuring our own
Jesse Brusa on piano, guitar and vocals along with Eric Kernfeld on Trombone and Kevin Boettger on Bass.

Ted Reinstein has been a reporter for “Chronicle,” WCVB-TV/Boston’s award-winning— and America’s longest-running, locally-produced— nightly news magazine since 1997. Also, an accomplished author, Ted’s latest book is entitled, “Wicked Pissed”. From sports to politics, food to finance, aviation to engineering, to bitter disputes over simple boundaries themselves, New England’s
feuds have peppered the region’s life for centuries. They’ve been raw and rowdy, sometimes high minded and humorous, and in a place renowned for its deep sense of history, often long-running
and legendary. Join us in the theatre for Ted’s intriguing lecture. He will also have copies of his books available following the presentation.

This lyrical quartet returns to our lounge with a tribute to the one and only Irving Berlin with songs like “Easter Parade”, “Anything You Can Do” and of course, “God Bless America”.
