5. “Love is in the Air” for Valentine’s Day Feb. 13

Picture 6Sure, this concert isn’t exactly on Valentine’s Day, but it will definitely set the mood for a romantic holiday. Love is in the Air is the aptly name title that features songs from Sondheim, Gershwin, and other incredibly romantic composers.

Together soprano Nancy Armstrong and baritone Robert Honeysucker sucker their audience into a daze of love and are accompanied by the lovely strings of baroque violinist Daniel Stepner and viola player Laura Jeppesen.

Portrait of Life: Children’s Lives in Art is one of the more inspiring exhibitions to come to the Museum of Fine Arts every year. Now in its sixth year, the children of Boston join in on a collaborative project with other kids in Nagoya, Japan to bring the one-of-a-kind exhibition.

In Boston, children were inspired by the MFA’s animal images and in Nagoya, students explored the idea of whom and what they think is beautiful. Nearly 700 students participated in this year’s exchange that is enlightening for both children and adults. Make sure to catch this exhibit before it ends on Martin Luther King Day.
