REED 5 represents a bold new direction in wind chamber music, featuring daring instrumentation, diverse and engaging performances, and a repertoire rich in traditional as well as contemporary music. The mission of the ensemble includes outreach education, expansion of a dedicated repertoire for reed quintet, and elevation of the genre to new levels of awareness and execution. The group is comprised of some of the Western Hemisphere’s most promising young wind players from as far away as Colombia and Costa Rica, and they have come together to forge a unique musical presence in American chamber music.  The individual musicians of Reed 5 have performed extensively around the world, have won some of the most prestigious competitions in their fields, and have contributed uniquely to the status of their individual instruments. Now, their talent and energy combine in an exciting new chamber genre, presented with a personal touch.

 

Theology on Tap

Once again SCB will be sponsoring Theology On Tap at Eammon’s Restaurant located at 174 Montague St.

 

The topic for 9/27 is: Can You Do Good ($) By Being Good At Your Job? The speaker is Dr. Robert Brancatelli from the Fordham University Graduate School of Religion. Dr. Brancatelli is a distinguished speaker who will explore the role of ethics in the marketplace and whether you can be profitable by doing good.  It certainly is a topic that has been in the news and it promises to be an evening that will evoke much discussion and raise important questions.

Theology on Tap is a place to discuss ideas and events in a relaxed setting. It isn’t church. It isn’t preaching. It is a way to have a dialogue that might help you in your life.
