Dudley Arts March Events
*Dudley Arts Chamber Music Initiative*

After an auspicious debut at the Lily Pad in Inman Square this past fall,
the Dudley Arts Chamber Music Initiative will continue throughout the
spring semester. Its ongoing mission is to connect GSAS musicians with
professionals throughout the Boston/Cambridge area for interesting
collaborations at unusual venues. If you’re interested in performing on the
spring concert and have a chamber group already formed, or if you are
looking for fellow musicians to form an ensemble, then write to Thomas
Wisniewski at twisniew(a)fas.harvard.edu. The spring concert will be held on
Saturday, April 28 at Dudley House. Rehearsals, individually arranged, will
run throughout March and April.
*Argentine Tango Lessons @ Dudley*

What better way to stave off the winter chill than in the warmth of the
tango embrace?
An intermediate social dance class, having begun in early February, will run
until mid-April. Welcome are those with prior experience in Argentine tango
and/or those who have taken tango lessons at Harvard past semesters.
Material is progressive, requires weekly attendance, and builds on dancers’
previous knowledge of close-embrace Buenos Aires style. Topics include

for the next screening in the February Fabulous Fellows’ Film Festival:
“Manhattan Murder Mystery,” one of Woody Allen’s best 90s New York
films,* *co-starring
the lovely Diane Keaton. This charming screenplay makes great good fun of
the detective genre film while delighting in toying with its most*
*entertaining
conventions. When Larry and Carol discover that their next-door neighbor
is, in all appearances, a murderer--and guilty, no less, of doing in his
own wife--much hilarity ensues. Brought to you by the Dudley Arts Fellows.
Open to Dudley House members and their guests. Contact Thomas Wisniewski:
