The spring semester has arrived at Viterbo, even if everything outside seems to say that spring is but a distant dream. With the new semester comes a new slew of shows and events to watch out for at Viterbo. Here's a guide for what to watch out for before spring break:

· I Musici de Montreal, a chamber orchestra of 15 musicians, will be performing on Viterbo's Main Stage Sunday, Jan. 31 at 2 p.m. Among the pieces played will be: Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, Tchaikovsky's Andante Cantabile and Souvenir de Florence.

 

· Li Hu's "The Rape of Nanking" will be on exhibit from Jan. 27-Feb. 17. The exhibit is a combination of drawings and mixed media about the barbarities that occurred in Nanking, China after Japanese soldiers captured the city in 1937.
