A Midsummer’s Night Music at Aston Magna
Aston Magna is the name of both a Great Barrington estate with stunning views of the Taconic range and a 37-year-old music-and-humanities foundation that is devoted to early music and its cultural context. On Saturday night, the latter celebrated at the former following a concert of Music in the Time of Goya (1746-1828). Aston Magna reaches out to all parts of our region, performing each concert program three times: Friday nights at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, Saturday nights at Bard College at Simon’s Rock in Great Barrington, and Sunday afternoons at The Clark museum in Williamstown. Every concert is performed on period instruments and there’s a lecture before each performance as well, which has given Aston Magna its redoubtable reputation and a loyal, multi-generational following.
