Do you love going to the Symphony? Do you love classical music? Heck, do you love all music? Join us! To shamelessly borrow a cliché: "We're just about the music!" No egos or agendas, full stop! We are a group of young working professionals, not starving artists. Some of us are native New Englanders, and some of us are Boston newbies. We are all brought together by a love of classical music, and inspired by the magic of the Boston Symphony, Pops & Tanglewood.

No club, if it wants to survive, can open itself to all comers. Clubs depend on exclusivity; if the conditions of membership aren’t enforced or argued away by the more insincere members, it dies or becomes something only faintly resembling what it set out to be. Let me begin, then, by telling you exactly what I want this club to be. Once a month, Bostonians who enjoy reading aloud great literature will gather at one of city’s premier watering holes to do just that. (Dive bars won’t provide the q …

If you are fed up of hanging around with people who's only idea of fun is computer games, boozing, snoozing or staring mindlessly at a TV for hours on end. If you would like something more productive to do with your free time, something more interesting and more stimulating for your eyes, hands and creative mind. If you just don't have enough art related activities through the day and need to pack in an extra couple of hours outside of school or work. If you'd like to meet like minded individual …

Sonnets To Orpheus I, 3 by R. M. Rilke translated by H. Landman A god can do it. How do you expect a man to squeeze on through the lyre and follow? His mind is torn. Where heartways intersect, you won't find any temple to Apollo. True singing, as you teach it, isn't wanting, not wooing anything that can be won; no, Singing's Being. For the god, not daunting. But when are we? And when will he then turn into our being all the Earth and Stars? It isn't that you love, child, even if the …
