Philips Brooks House Association's Chinatown Committee is holding a Chinatown Benefit Concert with performances by Albert Pan (cello), Andrew Park (piano) and Susan Koo (violin). The three will play works by Mendelssohn, Ravel, Beethoven and Brahms. It'll be one of the few things you do this weekend that you'll be able to tell your mom about. 8 p.m., Paine Hall...
