Members of the community gather together for the common and joyful enterprise of making music for their own pleasure, singing through the great works in choral literature with chorus, orchestra, and soloists as the works require. There are no separate rehearsals and no auditions. Walk-in singers and listen-only guests are welcome at all sessions. Conductors may do some light preparation with the chorus before the sing-through. Orchestra members participate by invitation, based on the instrumental needs of the work. Light refreshments are available during the break and participants are encouraged to mingle and socialize. For further information email musical.amateurs@gmail.com

Michelangelo Buonarroti left over half of his marble sculptures — some 26 of his 44 works, ranging from his very first carving to his last — in various unfinished states. Princeton University Associate Professor of Art and Archaeology Carolina Mangone explores the problem and appeal of these uncompleted sculptures. She focuses on a handful of Michelangelo's sculptures and their relationship to the preparatory arts of drawing and modeling. Participants are encouraged to bring refreshments to share at a post-program reception.
