Presenting: LAW, THE ST. LAWRENCE STRING QUARTET & ROB KAPILOW, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 4:15 PM, KRESGE AUDITORIUM: Free to the Stanford Community

How do we interpret laws and scores: in the context of the time in which they were composed, or in the present? How can we know what the composer's original intent was? Does it matter? Are there parallels between interpretation in music and law? Come and hear some world-class scholars and musicians discuss & demonstrate these issues!
