Experience May Erlewine live on her What It Takes Album Release Tour! Soul-stirring music, storytelling & connection. Tickets limited!
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of music, storytelling, and connection as MVY Radio and Cape Symphony Presents May Erlewine on her What It Takes Album Release Tour. Known for her soul-stirring lyrics and unparalleled ability to speak to the human heart, May Erlewine invites you to experience her powerful new body of work in an intimate setting.
May Erlewine has dedicated her life to writing songs that resonate deeply with the human experience. Her music is a light in the darkness, offering space for both the pain and joy of being alive. With a career rooted in advocacy, justice, and empowerment, her community-building message has touched hearts across the globe.
Her latest album, What It Takes, is a testament to decades of hard work, resilience, and courage. Produced by Theo Katzman and recorded in the Northwoods of Michigan, this record pairs her soulfully familiar songwriting with a fresh, electric sound. Featuring an incredible band—including Theo Katzman (drums), Phil Cook (piano and keys), Packy Lundholm (guitar), and Joel Gottschalk (bass)—What It Takes delivers anthems of resilience with grit, fire, and a deeply human tenderness.
This performance is not just a concert; it’s an invitation to come as you are and connect with music that speaks to the heart. May’s songs are a sanctuary for weary souls, a reminder of our shared humanity, and a celebration of the courage it takes to be vulnerable.
Spaces are limited, so don’t wait—secure your seats and join us for this heartfelt musical journey with May Erlewine.

The title says it all. Our culminating Pops concert of the season celebrates the genius of the first, last, and only “Piano Man.” Stellar guest artists will join forces with the Orchestra to perform Billy Joel’s greatest hits that have spanned more than five decades. Classics like “You May Be Right,” “More Than a Woman,” and “Only the Good Die Young” will have you on your feet and wanting more. Don’t wait too long… this one will sell out fast!
In July 2023, Kevin Fitzgerald won the Special Prize for Best Performance of the Contemporary Piece at The Mahler Competition. He is the first conductor to win this award, a prize sponsored by the Mahler Foundation, which led to him conducting the world premiere of Bernd Richard Deutsch's Con Moto with the Bamberger Symphoniker during the competition's final concert. Kevin was a 2021 Tanglewood Music Center Conducting Fellow and has been awarded Career Assistance Grants by the Solti Foundation U.S. for four consecutive years. He has been Associate Conductor of the Jacksonville Symphony since the 2022-23 season, during which he conducted over 35 performances, including a fully-staged production of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. In 2023-24, Kevin made his subscription debut with the Jacksonville Symphony and pianist Joyce Yang, to lead a recording of Sean Shepherd's Concerto for Ensemble with the University of Chicago's Grossman Ensemble by invitation of the composer, and his debut with the Cape Symphony. Also, Kevin will return to the New York Philharmonic as a cover conductor for three programs, in addition to assisting Stéphane Denève at the St. Louis Symphony.
