Welcome back to the work week. Hopefully the weekend went well and you are ready to take the week head on. If it takes you a little bit of time to get back into the groove of things, have no fear, because we’ve got some cool things that you can do today. In today’s installment we focus on a few music-inspired activities that won’t cost you a dime. Check it out in today’s Dollars & Sense!
Go See American Mavericks:
As Artistic Director of “American Mavericks,” Michael Tilson Thomas offers a thrilling chance to experience the music of Charles Ives, Carl Ruggles, John Cage, John Adams, and other maverick composers in a series of concerts in March 2012, celebrating what he calls the “iconoclasts, moldbreakers.” This exhibit displays scores, drawings and other printed matter related to the five celebrated composers. Artifacts include the score for Varèse’s Amériques and original instructions on how to make a prepared piano for John Cage’s Sonatas and Interludes.

Financial Tip Of The Day
Invite Friends Over Instead Of Going Out
Almost every activity at home is less expensive than going out. Invite some friends over and have a cookout or a potluck meal, then play some cards and have a few drinks. Everyone will have fun, the cost will be low, and the others will likely reciprocate not long afterwards.
