BerkshiresWeek
New energy, new music at Linde Center
BY ELLEN SPEAR BerkshiresWeek
How many pieces of music written for bassoon, sax, oboe, clarinet and bass clarinet have you heard or can you name? You’re not alone. The Akropolis Reed Quintet is a group composed of those instruments, and they will be performing at the Tanglewood Learning Institute’s Linde Center on March 29 at 7p.m.
The group has relied upon commissioning new works and doing most of their own arrangements of existing music to fill their concert programs according to Kari and Matt Landry, the clarinetist and saxophone player, respectively. We caught up with them recently, as they drove from one gig to the next.
The five met at the University of Michigan, enjoying the unique sound their instrumentation made. They stayed together after graduation, founding the group in 2009, playing gigs in intimate halls around the country and making albums ever since. They have 7 albums to their credit, including their latest 2024 release, “Are We Dreaming the Same Dream?” Kari Landry, when asked to describe the ensemble’s sound, describes it as having “...so many colors and power that make it an organ-like blend.”
Kari stressed that the GRAMMY-winning ensemble sees one of its primary goals as preserving classical repertoire and notes that “...our instrumentation sparked our creative path.” That is certainly evident in the eclectic mix of music they perform, which includes arrangements of Rameau, Gershwin, Handel and Dvorak as well as Ellington, Bernstein and a long list of commissioned works.
Matt says the ensemble is always evolving, so sometimes, to the consternation of impresarios, they keep their programs fluid for as long as they can, because they frequently test new work before live audiences, gauging how they feel playing and how the audience reacts. This ultimately determines what music makes it on a program and in what order the pieces will appear.
Matt says the group works with a list of about 5 composers with whom they have been working for some time, commissioning new work as often as they can. They play the new works together, then before live audiences, adding to their repertoire and expanding the works available for other reed quintets.
He sees major orchestras as no longer dominating the classical scene. He says that contemporary classical music has momentum, evidenced by how well the genre does with music awards like the GRAMMYs.
In fact, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in the United Kingdom, commissioned a survey in 2022 of people under 35, that indicates young people are more likely to be listening to orchestral music than their parents. 65% of people polled who were under 35 said they listened to classical music on a regular basis — a 6% increase since 2018.
Kari says the group is continuing to “have a ton of fun together” and plan to create an intimate environment for hearing their program at Tanglewood in March.
7 picks for the best spots to linger for lunch in the Berkshires
1. Betty’s 26 Housatonic St., Lenox
This beach shack with a retro vibe in the center of Lenox is a great stop for a simple lunch. It’s always crowded. Have a pizza adorned with items from a mind-boggling list of additions, a sandwich, a salad or Mexican offerings — burritos or quesadillas. Don’t forget the bucket of ponies or a glass of wine.
2.
Blue Mango 27 Spring St., Williamstown
Big and brightly lit on the main drag in Billsville, at this Thai place you can linger over tofu triangles with crushed peanuts to start, advance to a bowl of glass noodle soup, and share a few things. We suggest a Thai curry of any type, classic pad thai or the Andaman medley. There are plenty of other choices, all good and served swiftly.
3.
Elektra’s
439 Pittsfield Road, Lenox
An unassuming place in a little strip mall right next to a dispensary, find home-made Greek food and a list of yummy specials. Take a booth and relax. You can’t go wrong with the Greek salad. The strawberry and spinach salad here is terrific as well. Gyros, spanakopita and pastitsios are winners. Get a burger if you want, or a sandwich from a long list. Don’t forget to check out the specials.
4.
GB Eats
282 Main St., Great Barrington
Go early to get a table near the window in the center of Great Barrington and watch the parade go by outside as you enjoy lunch. You can get breakfast for lunch here, like shakshuka, or one of their amazing breakfast bowls. The roasted veg salad or the banh mi are faves. The fried chicken sandwich with dill verde aioli is pretty special, too.
5.
Hot Dog Ranch
114 W. Housatonic St., Pittsfield
Here’s to the ladies who lunch, as Stephen Sondheim wrote. And to the gentlemen, too. We’ve done lunch around the Berkshires and recommend these 7 places for a reasonably priced lunch where you don’t have to dress up and where you can linger over a second cup of coffee with a friend. 1 4 5 6
Baby hot dogs are the thing to share with your lunch buddy here at this storefront on scrappy West Housatonic Street. Load them up with the things you like. There are non-dog lunch specials daily, wings, soups, salads, sides in the form of tots, fries and chips. Forget the calories and get a burger with everything or one of the entrees including a create your own mac ‘n cheese.
6.
Pleasant and Main
1063 Main St., Housatonic
At the top of the street, this eclectic place is one where you can have a leisurely lunch. Crepes are the thing here with ratatouille leading the list. The spinach and goat cheese is also quite good. The open-faced sandwich of the day comes with a salad and potatoes. Since you’re not in a rush, have a dessert crepe, too.
7.
Roses’s
160 Housatonic St., Lee
In a converted house near the Mass Pike entrance in Lee, this is a nice place to go for an above average lunch. Take a nice table along the back wall with banquette seating. Eggplant Napolitano is number one on our list of recommendations. You’re welcome. The grilled Caesar with a protein added is another good choice. The burgers, meat or veg are very satisfying.
