The APIC arts event for Winter 2018 was a concert by Musicians from Marlboro at the Hopkins Center and a post-concert discussion and social at Murphy’s on the Green. APIC helped attendees with ticket costs for the concert and provided food at the discussion. Mark Nelson, Ph.D., an area musicologist who had recently taught a class at the Upper Valley Music Center about the works in the concert (Beethoven, Penderecki, and Brahms (the Clarinet Quintet)), led the lively discussion, which included learning about the attendees, the works themselves, Indian classical music, how to listen to music, and the nature of art.
