Hey everyone,
THE BEATLES ARE COMING TO PLAY A FREE CONCERT AT WESTERN!!!!!!
... just kidding, they're mostly not alive, BUT I just got this great tip from Josh (and it's almost as good)...
Apparently the faculty of music has an online events calendar where they post ALL of their events... so if you enjoy music at all--it's the place to be. Some of the city's (maybe even country? dare I say, world?'s) most talented musicians put on daily performances RIGHT ON CAMPUS. Check it out between class... after class... it's awesome! And apparently the last month of the academic year is their busiest time.
So, here's the DL:
Choose from 3+ recitals daily, free and conveniently on campus during your lunch break, dinner break, and in the evening.

Josh tells me that the Percussion Ensemble this Friday 12:30 and 8pm at Paul Davenport Theatre is definitely one to check out. He said, "They tend to add a special piece at the end; I've seen three musicians once holding lighters and once sitting at a wooden door supported like a table. " --- Sweet.
Also:
There's some early/rare opera being performed March 19 & 20, 8pm, in Music Building room 104. I anticipate this being a little more special or theatrical than other voice recitals going on this month.
... and, on a totally random sidenote, did you know that they do screenings of opera performances at Silvercity!?!?!?! wtffff
well, check it out!
