Daniel Massad: Loading the Work exhibition, and Eggert's composition, also titled Six Wooden Blocks, will be featured in a gallery talk and performance in the Palmer Museum galleries. Karen Bentley Pollick, violin; Dennis Parker, cello; and Justin O'Dell, clarinet will perform Eggert's original composition. Co-sponsored by the Suzanne H. Arnold Foundation.
