The Handel and Haydn Society started reviving earlier music in Boston in the early 19th Century.  Now, this oldest continuously-performing arts organization in the U.S. has gone all Original Instruments (which essentially means playing similar instruments to the ones they used originally).  This program, played by the orchestra's principal violinist and cellist, features solo string music from even before Handel (hey, wait, don't a couple of these pieces call for a harpsichord?). 

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  It's hard to believe that one of the best of all cocktails originated in Boston, of all places — but so it did.  Ward Eight:  pour 2 oz. Rye, 3/4 oz. each lemon and orange juice, and 1 teaspoon of Grenadine into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Shake.  Strain into a Collins glass over ice and top with club soda.
