Performing Mendelssohn during a Power Blackout

Power went out in Cambridge in the early evening of November 29 plunging many parts of the city into darkness, including the MIT and Harvard campuses. MIT has backup power for critical facilities, of course, but most areas on campus, including performance spaces, went dark.

The MIT Chamber Music Society, scheduled to perform a concert for which they had prepared for weeks, was undaunted. I especially like the cello player’s bike helmet headlamp! Watch the video as they set up in the dark, adjust their lights, and perform.

Here’s another gem from MIT Chamber Music Society: Beethoven’s Andante from Wind Octet in Eb major, Op. 103 (1793)
