DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Groupmuse\nMusicians: Yannick Rafalimanana\, Skaiste 
 Diksaityte\, Daniel Orsen\, and Maria Ioudenitch\n\nWe’ve got something 
 of a cosmic alignment on our hands:\n\n- **A piano quintet from Berlin is 
 coming through town.** They’re some of the best young players in Europe\
 , and the pianist\, a French-Malagasi virtuoso named **Yannick Rafalimanan
 a** was one of the founding forefathers of Groupmuse back in Boston almost
  a decade ago. He’s amazing.\n\n- During that same span of time\, **the 
 Smithsonian Museum** is fixing to host a **[Massivemuse in the Ripley Cent
 er’s spacious Concourse](https://www.groupmuse.com/events/8472)**.\n\n- 
 You\, dear reader\, happen to be free on the night of Saturday\, May 25th\
 , right?\n\nIt’s perfect\, people! **[We’re heading to the Smithsonian
  for a Massivemuse!](https://www.groupmuse.com/events/8472)**\n\nThe band 
 will have the enormous and glorious **Piano Quintet** by **Mieczysław Wei
 nberg** at the ready. Weinberg was a Jewish Soviet composer who lost most 
 of his family in the Holocaust and was almost killed by the Soviet regime 
 after the war. Shostakovich\, a close friend and admirer interceded on his
  behalf. Weinberg’s music is finally receiving the recognition it deserv
 es and this piano quintet is of its crowning jewels.\n\nWe’ll have **a c
 ash bar** and **we ask that you bring your own blanket\, floor cushion\, l
 awn chair\, yoga mat — whatever your booty prefers** - because this is g
 roupmuse and we aim to get cozy on the floor! What's more: at intermission
 \, we'll be able to wander the Concourse exhibits - *Biomes: Life in the B
 alance*\, and *A Unique Lens: Photographs from the Smithsonian Family.*\n\
