PITTSFIELD — Local artist Bruce MacDonald will visit EPOCH at Melbourne for a reception to open a gallery of his paintings on Thursday, March 6, at 4 p.m. The public is invited to attend the reception but a reservation is required by calling 413-499-1992. The public may also visit the gallery throughout March.
MacDonald has lived and worked as an artist in the Berkshires hills area. Once described as bringing “sagging dignity to old barns” in rural Massachusetts, he has been making his way as a local artist in the area for almost half a century. MacDonald paints classic pastoral landscapes in oils and watercolors and also is experienced in copper plate etching, a technique that dates back to the fifteenth century. His other style is a unique blend that has been called everything from surrealistic to visual jazz.
While this reception is free and open to the public, a reservation is required by calling 413-499-1992. As EPOCH at Melbourne’s featured artist for March, MacDonald’s work will be on display in the community’s art gallery and open for visitors between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. each day. EPOCH is located at 140 Melbourne Road.
PITTSFIELD — Kathryn Yudkin, a Berkshires resident, is a retro-style jazz singer who creates a relaxed and easy mood with well-loved and familiar songs from the Swing Era. She will entertain residents and guests at EPOCH Assisted Living at Melbourne on Friday, March 7, at 3 p.m. with songs from the Great American Songbook, which remains the central repertoire of jazz musicians.
Yudkin sings just about anything, but jazz standards such as those by Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington are among her favorites. Along with jazz standards, Yudkin’s vocal talents include classical music. She has performed with the Berkshire Bach Society, the Cantinella Chamber Choir and the Berkshire Lyric Theatre.
Yudkin’s enthusiastic performance is free and open to the public. Please call 413-499-1992 for more information or to request a reservation. EPOCH is located at 140 Melbourne Road.
