F Holes Final Concert

CRW_8531_1.sizedFrom Siri Carr ’15:

Come to the CFA courtyard this Sunday evening to enjoy the sweet melodies of Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings brought to you by your favorite student-run chamber orchestra, the F Holes! Bring a blanket and some snacks, your favorite soccer mom lawn chair and some wine, or simply feel the lush grass between your toes as we serenade you into a peaceful last week of classes. Should be short and sweet so swing by as a pre-dinner study break!

The Orlando Consort @ Memorial Chapel

Gabrielle Bruney ’14 writes in with an opportunity to hear an internationally-known chamber music ensemble in what’s definitely the best venue around for that sort of thing:

Enjoy an evening of early vocal music performed by a world-renowned ensemble!

From the Orlando Consort’s website:

“Formed in 1988 by the Early Music Centre of Great Britain, the Orlando Consort has established itself as one of Britain’s most important chamber music ensembles, performing to the highest standards and renowned for its imaginative and innovative programming. Working with leading academics on music that has often never been performed in modern times, they have set new standards of performance, particularly with regard to the pronunciation and tuning of this fascinating repertoire. In recent times the Consort has also attracted praise for its bold programmes of contemporary music, jazz and world music, and for their outstanding education projects which are specifically designed to involve amateur musicians of all ages and abilities.”
