Big Love

By Charles L. Mee | Directed by Lucas Near Verbrugghe 

Big Love is a modern adaptation of Aeschylus's The Suppliants, reimagined with a focus on themes of gender politics, love, and domestic violence. The story revolves around 50 brides who flee Greece to avoid forced marriages to their cousins, seeking refuge in an Italian villa.

“The most compelling American group to come on the scene” – The New Yorker

Presented by the Ukiah Community Concert Association

Based in New York City, the Horszowski Trio is Ensemble-in-Residence at the Longy School of Music of Bard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and of the Leschetizky Association in New York City.

Since their formation in 2011, the group has quickly become a vital force in the international chamber music world, giving performances that are “lithe, persuasive” (The New York Times), and “eloquent and enthralling” (The Boston Globe). In addition to their performance cycles of the complete trios of Beethoven, Schumann, and Brahms, the Horzowski Trio is a passionate advocate for the music of our time. They have appeared at major venues in the U.S. and throughout Europe and Asia and have been acclaimed by major critics: “This ensemble can play anything.”

Tickets:

• Tickets are $25 for open seating and $30 for the “I wanna see the hands” section.
• Tickets will be available one month before the performance at the Mendocino Book Company in Ukiah, Mazahar in Willits, and through Brown Paper Tickets. If not completely sold out, tickets may be available at the door.
