Pick #1 Aeolus Quartet at the Cape Ann Museum
A Family Free Concert
http://www.capeannmuseum.org/events/aeolus-quartet-family-concert/
A live performance at the Cape Ann Museum featuring the exciting, young Aeolus String Quartet. Winners of multiple awards and the Graduate Resident String Quartet at the Juilliard School, this group promises an engaging 1-hour program with excerpts of Haydn, Dvorák, and Ervin Schulhoff appropriate for all ages. The Quartet will introduce their instruments, the different roles they play, the different tools used by composers to make their quartet repertoire distinctive—all presented in a program that will cultivate a greater love for music and a deeper understanding of how a team can become greater than the sum of its parts.
This program is presented as part of a residency through Rockport Music’s Education and Outreach program with programs in both Rockport and Gloucester Public Schools.
Free, no tickets required
Pick #2 The Topsfield Fair (again)
It is still going on and if you haven’t gone yet, you should. The rides kind of drive me crazy, but there are really so many great learning opportunities at the fair. It is kind of a shame to miss it.
Pick #3 A Day in the City
Head to Boston while the weather is still nice! While there are clearly SO many places to visit, a lot of great walking and exploring to do, and a massive amount of restaurants to fill your bellies at, I’d put these two things on the list for Saturday…
Janet Echelman’s Aerial Sculpture over the Rose Kennedy Greenway
Get there while you still can, because it will be gone soon….and it is pretty cool to see!
Amazing art installation aside, I’ve told you all before that I really can’t get enough of the gorgeous Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway!
