The school fundraiser featured chocolate treats.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Fourteen students from Mount Greylock Regional School entertained a crowd of family and friends Sunday at the school's 10th annual Food of Love celebration at the Williams Inn.
 
The event featured an enticing variety of chocolate treats and lively renditions of scenes from the Bard's tragedies and comedies.
 
The fundraiser helps fund the school's participation in the annual Fall Festival of Shakespeare at Shakespeare & Company in Lenox.
 
Last fall, Mount Greylock's contingent staged "King Lear" with the assistance of Shakespeare & Company veteran Josh McCabe.
 
Sunday's event was organized by the parent volunteers of Mount Greylock's Friends of the Arts. The lead volunteer was Deb Brothers.
 
About 110 people attended Food of Love, which netted about $700.

"All in all, it was a great event," volunteer Maribeth Pomerantz said. "We view the event as a community awareness-raising about the arts at Mount Greylock as much as a fund-raiser."

Clark Art Presents Music At the Manton Concert

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Clark Art Institute kicks off its three-part Music at the Manton Concert series for the spring season with a performance by Myriam Gendron and P.G. Six on Friday, April 26 at 7 pm. 
 
The performance takes place in the Clark's auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.
 
According to a press release:
 
Born in Canada, Myriam Gendron sings in both English and French. After her 2014 critically-acclaimed debut album Not So Deep as a Well, on which she put Dorothy Parker's poetry to music, Myriam Gendron returns with Ma délire – Songs of Love, Lost & Found. The bilingual double album is a modern exploration of North American folk tales and traditional melodies, harnessing the immortal spirit of traditional music.
 
P.G. Six, the stage name of Pat Gubler, opens for Myriam Gendron. A prominent figure in the Northeast folk music scene since the late 1990s, Gubler's latest record, Murmurs and Whispers, resonates with a compelling influence of UK psychedelic folk.
 
Tickets $10 ($8 members, $7 students, $5 children 15 and under). Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524. Advance registration encouraged. For more information and to register, visit clarkart.edu/events.
 
This performance is presented in collaboration with Belltower Records, North Adams, Massachusetts.
