COF Chorus Open Rehearsals

If you enjoy singing, or if you've always wanted to join a chorus, here's your chance! It's a good way to meet people around the COF, make some friends and make some great music.

This fall we'll be performing Benjamin Britten's great Ceremony of Carols, and Robert DeCormier's exciting Shout for Joy, with orchestra.

Rehearsals are every Monday night, from 7 to 9:30 PM, at White Hall, MCPHS. Just enter on the Palace Road entrance and ask where White Hall is. See you there!

silent rave

This looks like a lot of fun:

Silent rave in Toronto

I used to really like standing in front of the giant speakers at raves, but this is probably better for the surrounding neighborhoods and your ear drums.

What is the Future of the Music Industry?: Discussion with Musician Brad Turcotte

If you are curious about how artists and others are dealing with a world of free content then you may be interested in this discussion between musician Brad Turcotte and upcoming class guest speaker David Weinberger.

(FYI: Attendance not required for our class and there may well be video or audio of the event posted later.)

Monday, February 11, 7:00 PM
Griswold Hall Room 110
Harvard Law School
Cambridge, MA
(nearest T stop: Harvard Square)

"The traditional music industry is crumbling. From the dust comes … BradSucks. Brad Turcotte is the very paragon of a Webby, open source musician. At his site (http://www.bradsucks.net) you can download his music for free or pay him a little money. You can reuse his music as you’d like, subject to the Creative Commons license. Not only can you remix it, but Brad posts especially good remixes. He has even open sourced the paint job for one of his guitars. At this Web of Ideas, Brad will play some music and talk with David Weinberger of the Berkman Center about whether he’s the future of the music industry.

Web of Ideas is an evening discussion series at the Berkman Center, lead by Berkman Fellow David Weinberger, co-author of The Cluetrain Manifesto and author of Small Pieces Loosely Joined and Everything is Miscellaneous. Each session will begin with a 20 minute discussion-opener, followed by open conversation. Food will be provided.

This event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP to Amar Ashar at rsvp@cyber.law.harvard.edu if you plan to attend."
