DANCE REVIEW: ‘SMASHED2’ by Gandini Juggling at PS21
The Center for Contemporary Performance, or “PS21,” as it is known, is in Chatham, N.Y., just over the Massachusetts border and a reasonable drive from pretty much anywhere in Berkshire County. The venue had its first season in 2006, and being the proverbial new kid on the block, it is not as well known as some of its Berkshire County counterparts such as Shakespeare & Company and Barrington Stage Company, and certainly not yet in the league of Tanglewood or Jacob’s Pillow. Judging by the vision, energy, and drive of the organization, however, and its desire to truly be contemporary, innovative, and accessible and affordable to all, I am quite confident in the coming years PS21 will be spoken of in the same breath as these other venerable performing-arts institutions in the Berkshires.

REVIEW: Herb Alpert provides the calm after the storm at The Egg in Albany
In a world that functions — and at times dysfunctions — on a see-saw of conflict vs. resolution, much of our music reflects that process. Trumpet player Herb Alpert is all about that resolution, but without the conflict. His show to a sold-out audience at The Egg in Albany on Tuesday was “nice.” And I don’t mean that in a deprecating way.
