The music department has decided to showcase twentieth century music and to highlight composers who are important in this century as we are about to leave it and move to the next. They'll be talking about that work to help people understand what they'll be hearing. We think that this means of presentation will be very exciting to the audience. The dance department has never done a ballet before. They're doing a three act ballet, which is highly, highly unusual.
Universities generally do one act of a ballet or a scene of a ballet.
Much of the ballet is double-cast, so depending on what night you go, you'll see different students at work. It's an opportunity for students who are interested in classical traditions to really be able to fully experience that. You can't just offer the digital, you have to offer the classical as well. There will also be a number of tickets for music majors to attend the Yo-Yo Ma master class, so that they can see one of the greatest stars of international music teach. The drama department is producing Dancing at Lughnasa, which is a Tony Award winning play.
