More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend.
We have reports that the roads are very slippery to take care in the evening commute. |

Lecture & Performance by Michael Zaretsky, violist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra - September 02, 2008
Lenox - The Lenox Library will launch the second season of its annual Distinguished Lecture Series with a lecture & performance by BSO violist Michael Zaretsky of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Six Suites for Solo Cello on Sunday, September 14, 2008 at 4:00 pm at the Lenox Library.
In addition to discussing these pieces, which are among the most demanding and fascination works in the repertoire for solo string instruments, Zaretsky will perform the third suite of the set, perhaps the most accessible and popular of the works.
Born in the Soviet Union, violist Michael Zaretsky graduated from the Moscow State Conservatory. He has been a member of the Moscow Philharmonic String Quartet, the Moscow Radio and TV Symphony Orchestra, principal viola of the Jerusalem Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra, and a soloist of Radio Israel. Leonard Bernstein brought him to Tanglewood, where he won a position in the Boston Symphony Orchestra. A member of the BSO for the past thirty-four years, Mr. Zaretsky regularly plays solo recitals and chamber music and appears as a soloist.
Zaretsky has edited the Six Suites for viola in accordance with the Bach manuscript of the works and has performed them in this country and abroad. He has released a 2-CD set of all six pieces which was performed at Symphony Hall in 2004. Copies of the 2-CD set will be available for purchase and signing after the performance.
All programs in the Distinguished Lecture Series are free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Denis Lesieur at 413-637-2630 or at dlesieur@lenoxlib.org.
All of the programs in the lecture series are scheduled for Sunday at 4:00 pm at the Lenox Library. Among future programs planned are:
* October 19, 2008 “The American Presidential Election From the Outside In” by Prof. Michael Hannahan, Director of the Donahue Institute at the University of Massachusetts.
* November 23, 2008 “From Stage to Screen” by Joan Ackerman, playwright, journalist and screenwriter. |
