Oudn't you like to go?




Forgive the terrible pun. On March 31, there will be a wicked concert of classical Armenian and Ottoman music played on the oud, an instrument similar to the lute. For only $5 (or free, if you're a student), you oudn't want to miss this.


Another exciting event coming up before Spring Break is the performance of Host and Guest at Columbia's Miller Theatre. Here is the blurb on the Harriman site:

"The Harriman Institute welcomes the award-winning Washington, DC-based Synetic Theater company to Columbia University’s Miller Theatre on Thursday, March 11, 2010 for a rare New York performance of its acclaimed production Host and Guest, based on the epic poem by 19th-20th century Georgian writer Vazha Pshavela. Host and Guest centers around two Caucasian men, one Muslim and one Christian, who befriend one another in a time of war despite the harsh resistance they face from their own respective communities. The Washington Post recently named Synetic's Host and Guest one of the top five theater productions of the decade.

Proceeds from this event will support Georgian studies programming at the Harriman Institute. A limited number of tickets are available to Columbia students, faculty, staff for $25."
