Next weekend, starting Friday night November 13th, there’s lots to do in the Berkshires.  On Friday at 8PM at the Mahaiwe in Great Barrington, see the Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats, with their formidable feats of daring and balance.

On Saturday, November 14th, go to Simon’s Rock College at 8 PM to hear Chorus, doing works by the Beatles.

And on Sunday, November 15th, the Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield presents the Berkshire Symphony Orchestra at 2 PM, with works by Vaughn Williams, Brahms, and Berio.

Wow!  Take your pick or go to all of them — Brook Farm Inn staff will be here to welcome you.

There’s still time to get tickets for some music performances this weekend!  On Friday, October 16th, there’s “I’m A Boomer Baby,” a musical tribute by Dan Riley, at the Colonial Theatre.  Also at the Colonial, on Sunday the 18th at 2:00, there will be a performance by the Berkshire Symphony Orchestra and the Williams Concert Choir, featuring works from movies and Mussorgky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition.”  Also, this is the final weekend of the Pittsfield City Jazz Festival.  So there are choices for everyone’s musical taste, and it’s all within minutes of Brook Farm Inn, Lenox Massachusetts.

It’s spring!  This weekend, the Berkshires is a great destination for hiking during the day, and for enjoying restaurants and performances in the evening.  See Brook Farm Inn’s “Take A Hike” package.  It will be sunny, in the 50’s, perfect for being outdoors this weekend.  And in the evening on April 3rd, go to the Colonial Theatre for “Music and Dance of the Andes.”

When you stay at Brook Farm Inn, Lenox Massachusetts this weekend, you can enjoy  “The Piano Men,” a musical journey through the ’70’s featuring music of Billy Joel and Elton John.  It’s at the Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield on Satuday evening. This is a multimedia tour through the 70’s featuring not only the music, but tidbits and trivia on the screen, like popular cars and toys of the era. Sounds like a great evening of nostalgia.
