Outside the classroom, Harvard seems like fertile ground for artistic growth. The campus boasts 120 extracurricular arts associations, from the Harvard Klezmer Band to the Lowell House Society of Russian Bell Ringers.

Hands-on courses—including courses in Visual and Environmental Studies or Creative Writing—often require previous experience and applications...
...Gene Autry original. "Winter Wonderland" comes with pedal guitar and cooing girl backup group. He does "O Come All Ye Faithful" in its English and Latin readings (including the approved Anglican hard g's for "regem angelorum").

...leading accordionist among the deans of Harvard Medical School. During the summer, the Dean of Education at HMS, specialist in cardiovascular medicine, MCB 234 professor, and multi-instrumentalist (piano, violin and accordion) takes his talent to the streets of Harvard Square. One might have spotted Michel last summer playing Klezmer music with Ted Sharpe ’76, a computational biologist at The Broad Institute at MIT and an amateur fiddle player. Michel and Sharpe are not the only street performers who boast an impressive resume of academic credentials and musical training. Street performers around Cambridge and Boston defy...
