Clark Art Concert: Hub New Music

Print Story | Email Story
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Sunday, Feb. 22 at 3 pm, the Clark Art Institute presents a concert by Hub New Music, a contemporary music ensemble.
 
The performance takes place in the Manton Research Center auditorium.
 
Hub New Music gives the world premiere of Daniel Wohl's new piece Mirage. This immersive work seamlessly blends electronic and acoustic sounds inspired by the cultural phenomena surrounding UFO-sightings. Using a bit of sci-fi fun, the composer asks the more existential question, "Are UFOs just products of our imagination, projections of our hopes, or something truly alien?".
 
Founded in 2013 in Boston, Hub New Music—a combination of flute, clarinet, violin, and cello—is one of today's leading contemporary music ensembles. Hub New Music's recordings have garnered consistent acclaim, and their 2022 album with Carlos Simon, Requiem for the Enslaved, was nominated for a Grammy award for Best Classical Composition.
 
Tickets $20 ($16 members, $14 college students, $10 children 17 and under). Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524. All ticket sales are non-refundable.

No Contested Town Races Shaping Up in Williamstown

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — With two weeks left to gather signatures on nomination papers, there are no contested elections shaping up for the May 12 town election.
 
And there is one post for which no one has expressed an interest in serving.
 
Two current members of the Select Board have pulled nomination papers to run for seats on the body, the town clerk reported on Tuesday morning.
 
Stephanie Boyd, who is concluding her first three-year term on the five-person body, has taken out nomination papers.
 
Shana Dixon, who was elected last May to fill the final year of an unexpired term, is running for a full three-year term.
 
The board currently has four members after it chose not to appoint a replacement for Jeffrey Johnson last year. The final year of his unexpired term will be determined by voters this spring. So far, the only resident to pull papers for that post is Nate Budington, who serves on the Historical Commission and is that body's representative on the Community Preservation Committee.
 
None of the three potential candidates for the Select Board have returned papers with the required 30 signatures to get a spot on the May ballot.
