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) .

The final night of our super-sized summer Phillips after 5 whisked us away to Russia in honor of Kandinsky. Both Russian folk music and Klezmer could be heard throughout the galleries. Near the entrance, there were vodka tastings and a pop-up shop from our friends at Hillwood Estate, Museum, and Gardens. Regular Phillips after 5 events will resume the first Thursday in October.
