Charles, is that event at Kreeger on May 5 still happening? It seems to have dropped off their calendar... If it's just hidden, how does one get tickets to it?
Varun, I think it's canceled. I checked the link this morning as I was compiling this week's Classical Music Agenda for DCist and saw the same thing you did: no sign of it on their Web site. If I find any more information, I'll let you know.
Alas! Alack! Looked so promising!
Thanks Charles.
Indeed, what a shame. Official word is that the cosponsor canceled a few weeks ago due to visa problems encountered by some of the performers. A related lecture on May 19 was also canceled.
