Last Friday morning, visitors and staff alike were treated to the sounds of music coming from, of all places, the Music Room, but at an unexpected time. Members of The Phillips Camerata were rehearsing a Schumann piano quintet in preparation for their final concert of the season on May 27 at 4 pm. Pictured are Miranda Cuckson (violin), Olivia Hajioff (violin 2/viola), Marc Ramirez (violin 2/viola), David Teie (cello, and Edvinas Minkstimas (piano), with Music Researcher Jeremy Ney (seated to the left of the piano) .

Last week, Renoir’s Luncheon of the Boating Party found a new home in the Music Room. The painting won’t stay in this gallery forever but will enjoy a nice respite here with the Tacks while various other installations throughout the museum are finalized over the coming weeks.
