Christoph von Dohnányi and the New York Philharmonic Perform Brahms March 3-8
Beginning March 3 at 7:30 p.m., the New York Philharmonic will take to David Geffen Hall for a program of Brahms' A German Requiem under the maestro Christoph von Dohnányi. Featuring soprano Camilla Tilling and baritone Matthias Goerne, Brahms' heartfelt classic is yet another reason to use music as a means of keeping warm. Square Grand Piano Owned by Mary Todd Lincoln's Sister Restored by Springfield Art Association
Antique musical instruments are not only considered valuable because of their rarity, but also because they tell the story of whomever handled them -- or, in this case, heard them. A 180-year-old square grand piano, believed to have been housed in the parlor of Mary Todd Lincoln's sister, where the not-quite president Abraham Lincoln had courted his future wife, has recently been restored for $17,000 by the Springfield Art Association.
