Dubbed ‘‘The Indiana Jones of Early Music’’ by BBC Radio 3, Portland Baroque Orchestra artistic director Julian Perkins brings a dynamic and adventurous spirit to all his music-making. He leads Berwick Academy through a program that includes Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24 – the largest orchestra Mozart ever used in a piano concerto – Haydn’s “Lamentatione” Symphony, and Marianna Martinez’s La Tempesta cantata for soprano and orchestra.

Mozart Piano Concerto No. 24 with Julian Perkins

Beall Concert Hall

In a small town in Michoacán, Mexico, two women, Renata and Lupita, are raising their families while their husbands, Laurentino and Chucho, work as braceros in the United States. Laurentino manages to come home for Christmas, but his return enflames an ongoing argument with Renata about his long work trips. Will Laurentino’s urge to support his family overshadow Renata’s desire to keep her family together in a rapidly changing world?

This new mariachi opera, a prequel to 2013’s Cruzar la Cara de la Luna, lovingly explores family traditions in the face of life-changing decisions and dreams of something more.
