eighth blackbird gets physical

Where do you suppose eighth blackbird is performing right before they visit Cambridge, Mass. on March 26? Any guesses? Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall? Eastman School of Music? Curtis? The Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario? That's right. The Institute describes itself as "a community of theoretical physicists dedicated to extending theories of space, time and matter . . . clearly, eighth blackbird is not your father or your mother's new music chamber ensemble, I thought to myself. While that's certainly true, after visiting the Institute's web site I found that two other Celebrity Series regulars are scheduled to perform there in March and April, The Juilliard String Quartet and the Beaux Arts Trio. Clearly, the Perimeter Institute is not your father or your mother's institute for theoretical physics...
