To keep up with my fun AND free posts, I thought I would add
some culture this week by posting about the many opportunities you have right
outside your dorm room.
UVM’s Music and Dance department put on scores of shows that
are almost always free admission. From classic chorus concerts to student choreography,
this month offers up some of UVM’s best talent for the world to enjoy.
I went to two shows throughout my UVM career and found both
incredibly unique and entertaining.
The first show I saw was a student recital during my first
year at college. It was a requirement in my Intro.
To Classical Music course to see a show. I very much enjoyed the
experience. Two professors performed a dance together that was absolutely
stunning. It was like something I have never seen before. They flew across the
stage in interpretive dance that they made up that night by having the audience
pick phrases out of a hat such as “rainy day” and they would have to make up a
dance to evoke that feeling. It was incredible.
The second show I saw was the University Orchestra’s Spring
concert. I used to be in band in high school and really enjoy hearing classical
music. The students were incredible. It’s great to see so much talent in people
my own age.
So long story short, music and dance are two beautiful
things. I highly encourage you to check out one of the upcoming shows.
Why? Because it is free and most definitely fun!

Okay first of all, what semester did you take music 001 because one of the concerts i went to for that class also had two professors doing an interpretive dance... i took it second semester of my freshman year so it would have been spring 2011...
ReplyDeleteI'm a music minor and will actually be performing in southwick ballroom next week! its at one on thursday the 18th, so during the time of our class, but i'd thought I'd share to reiterate the point that lots of students do performances so its a great way to support your peers!
