A Feast of Music and Drama
If music is the food of love, a satisfying supper can be had at Guild Hall on Sunday evening at 8 when Jarrod Spector and Kelli Barrett, newly married Broadway veterans, will perform the greatest songs from notable married couples, among them Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, Alan and Marilyn Bergman, Sonny and Cher, and Beyonce and Jay-Z.
Mr. Spector won a Tony nomination for his portrayal of Mr. Mann in “Beautiful: The Carol King Musical” and played Frankie Valli for 1,500 performances of “Jersey Boys.” Ms. Barrett originated the role of Lara in the Broadway production of “Dr. Zhivago” and has starred in more than 20 films and television shows.
Tickets for “This Is Dedicated: Music’s Greatest Marriages” range from $30 to $75, $28 to $70 for members.
An encore screening of “Hamlet” from London’s National Theatre Live will be shown at Guild Hall on Wednesday evening at 7. Benedict Cumberbatch, an Academy Award nominee, stars as the Prince of Denmark in the 2015 production that the Financial Times called “a fresh, dynamic staging with a vivid, supple performance at its heart.” Tickets are $18, $16 for members.
Musicians from the New York Philharmonic, America’s oldest symphony orchestra at 174 years and counting, will perform two different concerts at Guild Hall on Friday, June 15, and June 16. The musicians will be Michelle Kim and Quan Ge, violin; Rebecca Young and Robert Rinehart, viola; Eileen Moon, cello; Philip Myers, horn, and William Wolfram, a guest artist, on piano.
The Friday program will consist of Mozart’s String Quintet in C major, K. 515; Brahms’s Scherzo in C minor, from F.A.E. Sonata for Violin and Piano, Op. WoO2, and Brahms’s Trio in E-flat major for Horn, Violin, and Piano, Op. 40. The July 16 program will feature Mozart’s Horn Quintet in E-flat major, K. 407/386C; Dohnanyi’s Serenade for String Trio, Op. 10, and Dvorak’s Quintet in A major for Piano and Strings, Op. 81.
Tickets to each program are $30, $28 for members. Free student rush tickets will be available.
