Paul and I had a fun few hours wandering around a section of Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary that we hadn't seen in quite a while due to flooding caused by beaver dams.
After Broadmoor we went to Wellesley to participate in the celebration of the opening of renovated Pendelton West as a studio arts and performance space. We watched a series of performances beginning with Bandaloop, a "vertical dance company."
Next we went inside to a recital hall where we heard a the Parker Quartet, a string quartet, playing several pieces of challenging (to us?) contemporary music, followed by the Wellesley College Chamber Singers performing a piece commissioned for this event.
In a hallway, student cast members from the musical Working, shared excerpts from this upcoming show based on Studs Terkel's book. The musical has been updated with new songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
We walked around the new building a bit to see the studio spaces and charming views of gardens and the campus before going home.
