November 8, 2024: Que Musique Syrah

The Fabulous 413

We’re bringing you lots of things that might make you feel a little better.

With the uplifting and resonant songs of Jake Klar for Live Music Friday, and we’ll learn about the movie he’s in and the famous gardener who once lived in his house before you can catch him this evening at the Dream Away Lodge in Beckett.

And a well loved work making its way to the stage in updated context. The Valley Light Orchestra presents one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most popular compositions: The McAdo this weekend. So we head to the Academy of Music to check in with the company about adjusting this work for a modern time from its problematic original form, the appeal of the work, and how light opera fits into the evolution of theater with music onstage

And many of us may have felt the need for a drink this week, so we head to the women owned and operated Tip Top Wine shop in Easthampton to pit two Syrahs against each other with proprietors Lauren Clark and Miranda Brown. .

Because we may need a little help letting whatever will be to be.
