It's Thursday, friends! That means it's time for more fabulous #BosArts recommendations for you to take out On the Town! This week, Graham is joined by the fabulous Andy Chau! This multitalented (and sassy) man currently works as Director of Career Support Services and Student Programs at the Boston Conservatory (the next time someone bitches about how long my name is, I'm going to point to Andy's job title). Andy also works with the Rivers Conservatory Youth Wind Ensemble and Alcyon Chamber Ensemble and recently made his conducting debut with the Fall River Symphony Orchestra (a part of the state we both once called "home"). Let's see what these fine gentlemen have in store for the weekend.

Dare I say it? Spring is finally springing, and a beautiful weekend is—cross our fingers—in store. What better complement to such lovely weather than some #BosArts?! This week, joining founder and host Graham Wright for some #OpusOTT picks is the dashing Giuseppe Frustaci! This Opus Affair repeat offender does something involving marketing (you'll have to ask him), runs Hub House Boston, and occasionally can be seen running the Santa Speedo Race. Let's see what these dapper gentlemen are planning on checking out this weekend...

Well hello, ladies and gentlemen! An unprecedented event has occurred: I, Kyle Thomas Hemingway Dickinson, am returning for one night [day?] only as your On the Town tour guide! I just missed my #bullypulpit so much, I needed to step back up on it for a special guest appearance! So without any further ado (because generally I will take a mile when given an inch), let's head out On the Town!

Well, friends, it's a rather inhospitable first day of spring here in Boston, but that doesn't mean you should fret! There are plenty of ways to celebrate the kickoff of the season that will keep you warm and dry—in a theater, concert hall, or museum! This week, Opus founder and host Graham is joined by Opus regular and all-around fabulous gal Jill Fisher! An art history junkie, Jill can be found all over Boston soaking up as much art and performance she can; and when she's not, she's living for food as a web editor for America's Test Kitchen. Food, beverages, and culture—Jill's like the Opus Affair poster girl! Let's see what these two have in store for our weekends!

It's hot, it's cold, and everywhere in between! The weather in Boston has been absolutely unpredictable in the past week or so. The only thing that remains predictable in Boston is that there's a smörgåsbord of fabulous #BosArts each week to warm up your body and nourish your soul. This week, in addition to #OpusOTT regular Graham Wright, we've got Opus A-lister Julie Judson! Julie is a fabulous dancer, choreographer, and founding member of the Allegro Dance Collaborative. When this firecracker isn't channeling her inner Fosse, she runs the Metropolitans at Citi Performing Arts Center. Put on your snow boots and join Graham and Julie On the Town!

Now that the Oscars are over (And Adela Dazeem is safely back in New York), it's time to focus on the weekend ahead! This week, we are joined by the incomparable Liz Devlin, mastermind behind the Flux Boston. Reading her Weekly Wrap-ups, you might think she was an army, to cover as many art happenings as she does...and yet she is just one woman. One busy, busy woman. Thankfully she could spare a moment to share some of her picks with us for this week's #OpusOTT. I wish there were an animated gif to properly express how excited we are to have her join us (she probably has one). And the #OpusOTT picks are...

What an exciting week! It was announced this week that Discovery Ensemble's swoonworthy music director (I mean seriously, look up), Courtney Lewis, was appointed assistant conductor of the New York Phil! Celebrate this weekend On the Town as he conducts Discovery Ensemble among other fabulous #BosArts offerings curated by Opus Affair founder and host, Graham Wright, and repeat #OpusOTT offender Hailey Fuqua!

Well, my dear ones, I missed you all last Monday at Opus Affair! I've unfortunately got the dread flu, but just because it's preventing me from getting out on the town this weekend, that doesn't mean you should stay in yourself! There's plenty going on this weekend, and here to share their great taste (and matching bald heads) with you are Opus Affair founder and host, Graham Wright, and cohost, Jonathan Sheffi! Graham and Jonathan met while on the same team for a competitive puzzle solving team (wouldn't they just?) and have been friends ever since. When Jonathan isn't solving puzzles, he works at a biomed startup he co-founded and sings with Redline, a Boston a cappella group—talk about using both sides of the brain! Let's see what these smartypants have in store for the weekend!

Love is in the air, this weekend is Valentine's Day! You could buy your sweetheart flowers, but flowers die. You could get him a card, but that's just going to get recycled. You could take her to dinner, but—you get the point. Take our advice and take your special someone out #OnTheTown this weekend for some #BosArts memories that will last a lifetime...or at least longer than the flowers.
