SUMMARY:CSO Chamber Music - Strings of Heritage: Mozart\, Stanford\, and the Spirit of Ireland
DESCRIPTION:CSO Chamber Music Presents\nStrings of Heritage: Mozart\, Stanford\, and the Spirit of Ireland\nSaturday\, March 14th @ 2pm  \nNon-members $35 \nMembers $32  \nChicago Symphony Orchestra Chamber Music comes to the BAC! Join Danny Jehun Jin (violin)\, Matous Michal (violin)\, Danny Lai (viola)\, and Olivia Jakyoung Huh (cello) for an afternoon that bridges classical brilliance and Celtic soul. \nThe program opens with Mozart’s String Quartet No. 15 in D minor\, K.421\, one of his most expressive and dramatic chamber works. Written as part of his “Haydn” quartets\, it moves between storm and serenity\, revealing Mozart’s gift for emotional storytelling through perfect form—characterized by Arnold Schoenberg as “prose-like.” \nThe focus then turns to Charles Stanford\, whose music fuses the lyricism of Irish folk song with the elegance of late Romantic style. In his Six Irish Folk Songs\, Stanford’s imaginative storytelling shines\, portraying emotions from seething vengeance to tender love. His String Quartet No. 1 in G major\, Op. 44 dazzles with rich textures and intertwining themes blending classical elegance with Stanford’s own romantic voice. \nThe afternoon concludes with a beloved encore\, “Danny Boy\,” a timeless melody that echoes the program’s central theme: the power of music to carry emotion\, memory\, and cultural identity across centuries. \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE

SUMMARY:All These Words Are - POSTPONED: SATURDAY\, FEBRUARY 7th\, 2pm-5pm
DESCRIPTION:Nat Soti \nAll These Words Are \nBeverly Arts Center \nJanuary 23rd – February 22nd \nNEW OPENING DATE: SATURDAY\, FEBRUARY 7th\, 2pm-5pm \nAll These Words Are is an exhibition by Nat Soti that explores visual language and world-building at the intersection of art and graphic design. Drawing from an evolving dictionary of personal graphic symbols without pre-defined or fixed meanings\, Soti examines how meaning and expression emerge through use\, composition\, and context. As symbols appear and reappear across digital prints\, mixed-media works\, painting\, drawing\, collage\, video\, and motion graphics\, meaning is allowed to emerge rather than be dictated. \nIn a time where our culture constantly demands talking points\, hot takes\, and personal declarations\, All These Words Are reflects a state of “work-in-progress being.” The exhibition invites you to pause before certainty and embrace curiosity\, reflection\, and the ongoing process of finding connection and meaning for yourselves.

SUMMARY:The Grateful String Band
DESCRIPTION:The Grateful String Band\nFriday\, October 24th @ 7:30pm \n$32 Member \n$35 Non-member \n\n      In a crowded landscape of Grateful Dead cover bands\, it takes more than tie-dyes and long jams to stand out. Enter The Grateful String Band — a crew of talented pickers who aren’t just revisiting the classics; they’re reimagining them with acoustic soul and string-fueled fire. But make no mistake\, this isn’t a tribute band. TGSB doesn’t try to replicate the Dead’s shows\, sound\, or stage presence. Instead\, they reinterpret songs from the vast catalog of the Grateful Dead\, their side projects\, and even the traditional tunes the Dead themselves covered\, all through the lens of high-octane bluegrass.\n\n\n\n     Featuring Kris Nowak on acoustic guitar\, Steve Haberichter on mandolin\, Garrett Degnan on upright bass and Pete Smith on banjo\, The Grateful String Band explore every corner of the Dead’s musical universe from fan favorites to deep cuts\, from Pigpen’s raw blues to Jerry’s spacey ballads\, all delivered with foot-stomping energy and reverence for the source. And the journey doesn’t stop with the Dead. TGSB follows the thread through Old & In the Way\, the Jerry Garcia Band\, and wherever that musical spirit may wander. If the Dead played it\, jammed on it\, or simply loved it\, TGSB is ready to break it down\, grass it up\, and send it racing through a mandolin at blazing speed.\n\n\nSo if you’re searching for the sweet spot where psychedelic rock meets Appalachian roots- where Garcia meets grassy- you’ve landed in the right place. The Grateful String Band — your go to source for high-energy\, heartfelt\, and joyfully offbeat Deadgrass.\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE

A viral “sucks-yes” on social media\, this musical struck a chord with young theatre lovers who adored its unabashed humor and emotional honesty.  \nCreated for the generation that made it a hit\, Beetlejuice JR. is a wacky theatrical party for all!

By creating fictionalized versions of the real accusers and victims of the trials\, Miller demonstrates the dangers of “witch hunting” and the political persecution of many to serve a few.  \nThe name of the play alludes to two of the definitions of the world crucible: “A severe test\,” “a situation in which concentrated forces interact to cause change.” \nA brief synopsis: The town of Salem collapses in hysteria when a group of teenage girls\, led by Abigail Williams\, accuse their neighbors of witchcraft. When Abigail is spurned by her former employer (and lover) John Proctor\, she targets both him and his wife. John is left with a choice: falsely confess and live\, or be condemned to death. \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE
