SUMMARY:Dueling Pianos at The Cut
DESCRIPTION:Dueling Pianos is back. Bring your friends and have a Ball. Dueling Pianos is a massive “to the top of your lungs” sing along with all your friends! Two grand pianos are center-stage with a team of outrageously talented pianists that seem to know every song ever written. \nEach show is different because it’s all request. And you or your friends might get called up onstage for a bit of good humored fun and some unforgettable you-tube moments. These shows are request oriented\, interactive sing-a-longs wherein two piano players sit across from each other and trade songs. The dueling piano audience is used for the dueling aspect of the show. Audience members are pitted one-side-against-the-other. Examples of rivalries include country vs. rock\, men against women\, etc. \nDueling piano shows often take unexpected turns\, like involving wait staff members\, changing song lyrics or roasting popular audience members. There aren’t many boundaries. It’s one big sing-along party\, swaying to the music and bellowing-out familiar lyrics. You’re not just being entertained by the piano players – you are part of the show! \n“Think YOU won’t sing along? Just TRY not too…. I dare ya!”

SUMMARY:Leonkoro Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Winner of the International String Quartet Competition and awarded the prestigious Jürgen Ponto Foundation Music Prize\, the Leonkoro Quartet has quickly emerged as one of the most compelling and acclaimed string quartets of its generation. With performances that marry breathtaking precision with unrestrained emotional depth\, this dynamic ensemble captivates audiences and critics alike. \nPROGRAM: “Role Models” \nHenriëtte Bosmans: ​​String Quartet \nMendelssohn: ​​​String Quartet #2 in A minor\, Op. 13 \n​​Intermission \nSchubert: ​​​String Quartet in D minor\, D. 810 “Death and the Maiden” \n“The Leonkoro Quartet…possesses an extraordinary stage presence\, glows for the music\, embraces full artistic risk\, and astounds through their profound sensitivity towards the unique sonority of each piece”–Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung \nABOUT THE LEONKORO QUARTET \nFounded in Berlin in 2019\, the Leonkoro Quartet has rapidly emerged as one of the most compelling ensembles of its generation. Comprising brothers Jonathan and Lukas Schwarz (violin and cello)\, Amelie Wallner (second violin)\, and Mayu Konoe (viola)\, the ensemble takes its name from Leonkoro—Esperanto for “lionheart”—a nod to Astrid Lindgren’s tale of brotherhood\, courage\, and emotional depth\, themes that resonate deeply in the string quartet repertoire. \nThe quartet achieved international prominence in 2022 with a sweep of major competitions: First Prize and nine special awards at the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition\, First Prize plus both Audience and Young Audience Prizes at the Concours de Bordeaux\, and the Jürgen Ponto Foundation Music Prize. They were named recipients of the MERITO String Quartet Award\, selected after a year of discreet evaluation by renowned musicians\, and joined the BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists program (2022–2024). \nTheir success continued into 2024\, receiving the Young Talent Award from the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and becoming Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award winners—further affirming their international standing. That same year\, they launched a long-term recording partnership with Alpha Classics\, following the acclaimed 2023 release of their debut album on Mirare\, featuring quartets by Ravel and Schumann\, honored with the Choc de Classica de l’année. \nThe ensemble has studied under Heime Müller and Günter Pichler\, with mentorship from Alfred Brendel and members of the Artemis Quartet. Upcoming engagements include debuts at the Salzburg Festival\, Philharmonie Luxembourg\, Tonhalle Zurich\, Bozar Brussels\, and a major North American tour with performances in New York\, Boston\, Chicago\, Montreal\, Houston\, and San Francisco. \nThe Leonkoro Quartet is a Pirastro Artist and Henle App Ambassador. \nJonathan Schwarz plays a violin by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini (1759/60) on generous loan through a trust. Amelie Wallner plays on a fine Giovanni Battista Guardagnini\, generously loaned by the Beare’s International Violin Society. Mayu Konoe plays a viola by Lorenzo Storioni\, kindly provided by a private sponsor. Lukas Schwarz plays a cello by Carlo Tononi\, Venice (c. 1720) loaned by the Beare’s International Violin Society.

SUMMARY:Profoundly Vulnerable: The Story of Four Witchcraft Accusations
DESCRIPTION:Join us on March 5th for our first virtual lecture of 2026\, “Profoundly Vulnerable: The Story of Four Witchcraft Accusations\,” presented in celebration of the 39th annual Women’s History Month. \nThere were many reasons why a woman in seventeenth-century New England might be accused of witchcraft\, but those who were alone\, poor\, and\, perhaps\, quarrelsome were in particular danger. We will focus on four women targeted during the Salem witch trials. Rachel Clinton\, Sarah Good\, Margaret Scott\, and Ann Dolliver each had promising beginnings in the New World but\, through no fault of their own\, found themselves in desperate circumstances. \nThis free virtual program will be hosted on Thursday March 5th at 6:00 pm ET. Registration is required for this event.

SUMMARY:Sculptural Legacies: A Curatorial Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Join a panel of museum curators for a “Sculptural Legacies: A Curatorial Roundtable on Emma Stebbins\, Edmonia Lewis and John Rhoden\,” in partnership with the Heckscher Museum in Huntington\, New York. This virtual discussion will focus on three recent single-artist exhibitions about three pathbreaking American sculptors: Emma Stebbins (1815–1882)\, Edmonia Lewis (1844–1907) and John Rhoden (1916–2001). Stebbins was a queer sculptor working in 19th-century Rome who is best known for creating Central Park’s Bethesda Fountain. Lewis was the first Black and Indigenous sculptor to achieve international acclaim in the 19th century\, and Rhoden was a world-traveling Black sculptor who mastered a wide range of artistic media. \nAs the first museum surveys of each artist\, these curators’ exhibitions meaningfully repositioned them within their broader networks\, featuring new archival discoveries and resurfacing previously unlocated sculptures. Go behind the scenes to learn about how these exhibitions unfolded\, and how the curators approached similar questions and challenges in bringing to life the artistic careers of these three trailblazing artists. \nSpeakers: \nShawnya L. Harris\, Ph.D.\, Larry D. and Brenda A. Thompson Curator of African American and African Diasporic Art\, Georgia Museum of Art\, University of Georgia; co-curator of Edmonia Lewis: Said in Stone\, now on view at PEM \nJeffrey Richmond-Moll\, Ph.D.\, PEM’s George Putnam Curator of American Art\, co-curator of Edmonia Lewis: Said in Stone \nBrittany Webb\, Ph.D.\, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art\, Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, Curator of Determined to Be: The Sculpture of John Rhoden \nKarli Wurzelbacher\, Ph.D.\, Chief Curator at The Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington\, New York\, Curator of Emma Stebbins: Carving Out History

SUMMARY:Newburyport's Road to Independence III: Loyalists\, Prisoners\, and the Homefront
DESCRIPTION:Step into wartime Newburyport with Alex Cain as loyalists face persecution\, prices soar\, and fear hangs heavy as we move to independence. \nIn 1776\, as war raged across the American colonies\, the clash of armies echoed far beyond the battlefield into everyday life in Newburyport. Historian and fan favorite Alex Cain invites you to step into a time where loyalists were persecuted\, British prisoners were confined\, and families struggled with soaring prices\, shortages\, and the constant shadow of loss from combat. At the same time\, privateer prizes poured into the harbor\, flooding the port with captured riches and stirring hope of fantastic opportunities. Through hardship and adversity alike\, Newburyport pressed on in its determined drive toward independence. \nFunded\, in part\, by the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism.

SUMMARY:Nirvani - A Nirvana Tribute Experience with Foo!
DESCRIPTION:Nirvani is the most authentic and electrifying tribute band to the legendary grunge pioneers\, Nirvana. Known for their accurate recreation of the raw\, high-energy performances that made Kurt Cobain and company a cultural phenomenon\, Nirvani has been selling out venues across the country. From the iconic\, distorted guitar riffs to the anguished screams and rebellious spirit\, Nirvani brings the music of Nirvana to life in a way that feels as powerful and visceral as it did in the 90s. \nNirvani’s live shows are a high-octane journey through all the hits and deep cuts that defined Nirvana’s catalog. With a stage presence that channels the chaotic energy of the original band\, they deliver an unforgettable experience\, playing fan favorites like “Smells Like Teen Spirit\,” “Come As You Are\,” and “Heart-Shaped Box\,” alongside deeper tracks that true Nirvana fans will love. Their wild stage presence\, combined with instrument-smashing finales\, ensures no two shows are ever the same.

SUMMARY:Revolutionary Privateers at Sea Symposium: Newburyport and the Wider World
DESCRIPTION:Join experts from around the world for a one-day symposium on Revolutionary War privateers and Newburyport’s Atlantic impact!\nFrom Newburyport wharves\, privateers surged into the Atlantic with a single mission: take the fight to British commerce. Armed with letters of marque\, these privately owned vessels disrupted enemy supply lines\, seized valuable cargo\, and brought home provisions\, weapons\, and even captured vessels that could be refitted into more privateers to help keep the cause alive. \nPrivateering was a town-wide enterprise. Merchants financed voyages. Carpenters\, ropemakers\, and sailmakers outfitted vessels. Mariners signed on for a share of prize money. Women kept households\, farms\, and businesses running\, and stocked stores with goods brought in as prizes. When captures returned to port\, they could make fortunes. When privateers were lost\, it meant tragedy and ruin. \nAs we mark the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution\, join us for a fast-paced\, people-centered program that connects Newburyport to the wider Atlantic war and the astonishing records privateers left behind\, from logbooks and diaries to prize papers and court documents.

When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad\, he’s handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona\, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad\, but a fairytale wouldn’t be complete without a few twists and turns along the way. \nWith abundant opportunities for imaginative sets and costumes\, and a host of over-the-top roles for an expandable cast\, there’s a part for everyone in this dazzling adventure story. \nShrek KIDS plays Thursday\, March 26 and Friday\, March 27 at 7:00pm. Runtime 30 minutes\, no intermission. All performances at the Natti-Willsky Performance Center: Home of Gloucester Stage Company at 267 E Main Street\, Gloucester\, MA 01930. Perfect for families with children ages 6+.
