Save the date! The 6th annual Prokopoff violin music concert will be held from noon-1 pm on Friday, April 18th, 2008 in the Lewis Music Library (Bldg. 14E-109). This annual event honors the extraordinary collection of violin music collected by Stephen Prokopoff and donated to the library in 2001 by Lois Craig, former Associate Dean of MIT’s School of Architecture and Planning. This year’s concert will feature several pieces from the collection including Fritz Kreisler’s Tambourin Chinois, Navarra by Pablo de Sarasate, Concerto for 2 violins in D minor by J. S. Bach, and other favorites performed by some of MIT’s finest student musicians.

The Lewis Music Library is located in Bldg. 14E-109 and the concert is free and open to the public. The opening celebration for the MIT Libraries’ Maihaugen Gallery follows this concert.
