Plus, Anita Hill at the Boston Conservatory Orchestra and two new art exhibits open in Boston.
We’ve had 60-degree weather and a snow emergency that shut down schools and businesses across the state, so it’s been just another week of February in Massachusetts. We won’t have the spring teasing us again this weekend, but we’ve got plenty of ways to warm your heart all the same.

There is a musicality to Martin Luther King Jr.’s words. Anyone who has heard recordings of his voice can attest to the artful builds and crescendos he employed to give his message even more impact. Friday night’s concert at Symphony Hall will bring together a live reading of the words of MLK Jr. and an orchestral accompaniment. It’s a composition from 1982 titled “New Morning for the World” by Joseph Schwantner.
