ADAMS, Mass. — The Adams Theater will present the award-winning electroacoustic duo ARKAI, who will preview their new album "Crossroads" on Friday, July 26, 2024 at 7:30 P.M. 
 
According to a press release:
 
ARKAI has inspired audiences around the world through their genre-defying string music. Graduates of The Juilliard School, their past engagements have included performances at The MET, Joe's Pub, City Winery, US Air Force Academy, Rockwood Music Hall, 54 Below, Lincoln Center, Musikfest, Chateau Marmont, Carnegie Hall and TED. They recently opened for Oscar and Grammy-winning musician Jon Batiste at YPO EDGE hosted in NYC's Javits Center. 
 
As creative collaborators, ARKAI was commissioned by the Museum of Chinese in America to compose a work for their exhibition Responses: Asian Americans Resisting the Tides of Racism. Other commissions have included a piece for Silver Lining Ltd's Impact 5X initiative — a global economic justice project supporting hundreds of small business owners from underserved communities around the world.
 
ARKAI was selected by the U.S. Department of State and the Association of American Voices to participate in the '21-22 American Music Abroad season. Through this program, ARKAI has engaged in exchange programs with underserved audiences around the world with little or no access to American music, demonstrating the power of cultural diplomacy as a tool to bring people together.

New Clothing Thrift Store Opens in Adams

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff

Carlo is honoring her late partner, Tom Bradley, who loved to thrift with her.
ADAMS, Mass. — Trisha Carlo took the leap to turn her online secondhand clothing business into a storefront on Summer Street. And named it in tribute to a loved one. 
 
Two T's Thrifting stands for Trisha and her late partner, Tom Bradley, who died in 2022. 
 
"We loved thrifting together, so I thought it was a way that I could honor him, and then also a way I could give back to the community," she said. 
 
Carlo has been selling clothes she's thrifted from her Facebook page for the past couple of years. She found the building at 64 Summer St. about two months ago and opened on Jan. 11.
 
"There's not many stores here. And I figured being downtown like this, people could walk in, especially in the summertime," she said. "I know there's a ton of people in the area that love to thrift so I thought this would be a really good idea for Adams."
 
Carlo also wants to make an impact on the community, donating clothing to children in foster care, unhoused people, and those who have lost their belongings, such as in a fire.
 
High school students sometimes do their community service hours with her, packing clothes bags for these individuals.
