Dudley Arts March Events
*Dudley Arts Chamber Music Initiative*
*Call for Musicians!*
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*
Intermediate progressive series
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
leaders’ and followers’ technique; paradas; sacadas; cross and parallel
systems; intro to milonga; turns; and floorcraft. Students will be trained
to dance socially and will be encouraged to explore the many practicas and
milongas of Cambridge and Boston. Brought to you by the Dudley Arts Fellows.
