This past week, Occidental and Caltech were in the news for a very embarrassing upset in men's basketball. Embarrassing for Oxy that is. The Caltech men's basketball team had not won a game in 26 years, yet beat Oxy 46-45 on Tuesday, February 22nd.

However, both schools will put all competition aside and come together for two concerts this weekend. The Occidental-Caltech Symphony Orchestra is directed by Oxy's own Professor Allen Gross, and includes students from both schools. The concerts will feature student solo violinist Misha Raffiee, the winner of a student concerto competition.
The Saturday concert will be held at Occidental at 7:30 pm and the Sunday concert will be held at Caltech at 3:30 pm. Two opportunities to see a great performance, but the best part is that they are both free.
