Great artists give free concerts at New England Conservatory—simply because they teach here.
Nicholas Kitchen, founding first violinist of NEC's quartet-in-residence, the Borromeo String Quartet, gives a solo recital devoted to the complete Sonatas and Partitas of J.S. Bach. The tech-savvy Kitchen will preface the performance with a short video he has created to explicate the Sonatas. Kitchen's engagement with technology is well-known and ranges from his leading the Borromeo Quartet to adopt laptops instead of music stands and printed music to the creation of a distance learning curriculum called Mathemusica that helps young students learn both math and music.

Kitchen and the Borromeos were featured in a New York Times article about their pathbreaking utilization of technology.
