Building: Perry and Marty Granoff Music Center City: Medford, MA 02155 Room: Distler Performance Hall Campus: Medford/Somerville campus Open to Public: Yes Event Sponsor: School of Arts and Sciences Husband-and-wife duo and Tufts faculty members Pascale Delache-Feldman (bass) and Emmanuel Feldman (cello) first crossed paths at the Curtis Institute of Music while discovering Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata—a work that has remained a touchstone in their musical lives. In a nod to those beginnings, Emmanuel Feldman opens the program with the Schubert Arpeggione Sonata, joined by pianist Victor Cayres. The couple then reunites as Duo Cello e Basso, bringing their trademark blend of virtuosity and chemistry to Bottesini’s dazzling Grand Duo, with Feldman taking on the violin part on cello—performed standing with his groundbreaking invention, the TekStand. Alongside selections from the duo’s vibrant repertoire, the evening culminates in Feldman’s own concerto Standing Tall, presented in its cello and piano version—a bold and personal celebration of artistry, innovation, and the enduring power of music shared."

Event Type: Multifaith Observance Event Sponsor: University Chaplaincy (Judaism) Begins at sundown on the first day listed. Also known as Feast of Booths. An eight-day Jewish festival of booths (or tabernacles) and the fall harvest. The name refers to the booths (sukkot) used by Israelites during desert wanderings and constructed in the fields during the harvest season. It is a time of thanksgiving for God's presence in creation and among the Jewish people. The Eighth Day (Shmini 'Atzeret) is considered both the end of Sukkot and a distinct festival. Observances may include limits to participation in academics or work.
