DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Groupmuse\nMusicians: Katherine Kyu Hyeon Lim\, Chris
 tine Wu\, Benjamin Zannoni\, and Yu Yu Liu\n\nOn **March 23rd at 7pm\,** w
 e'll once again gather in **the legendary Strand's beautiful Rare Book Roo
 m for our third ever Oliomuse**. An Oliomuse is when we Massivemuse with T
 hinkOlio - an organization that's doing for professors what Groupmuse is d
 oing for classical musicians. They bring a professor\, we bring the band\,
  and we all share an evening of music\, filled out with a disquisition on 
 the cultural\, historical\, and musical context from which the masterpiece
  emerged.\n\nAnd this one is gonna be a real scream. It'll be an in-depth 
 exploration of **Dmitri Shostakovich's 8th String Quartet**\, arguably the
  most celebrated string quartet of the last century. Written in a frenzy o
 f terror and at the peak of Stalin's totalitarian state\, Shosti 8\, a man
 iacal kaleidoscope of beauty and horror\, is dedicated to the victims of w
 ar and fascism and speaks to themes that are unfortunately as relevant as 
 they ever were. \n\nWe'll start with a performance of the piece\, which is
  about 23 minutes long\, brought to us by a Juilliard string quartet. Then
 \, returning professor **Whitney George** will probe deep\, daylighting th
 e work's darkest recesses. We'll finish the evening with another full perf
 ormance of the work\, newly furnished with a more profound understand of w
 hat the piece stands for and where it comes from\, so that it speaks more 
 fully than ever before. Like all of the best art\, the string quartet is o
 f such complexity and gravity that it only gets better with more.\n\nIt'll
  be an evening of unmatched power and you've got to be there. SixPoint is 
 sponsoring the evening\, so we'll free beer to keep us warm and jolly in t
 he face of such a titanic emotion-scape. \n\n**Tickets are $25 (and $20 fo
 r supermusers) and Oliomuses always sell out\, so get on that!**
