Recital Tonight: “Something Different”

Here’s another senior recital! This one from Erik Youngdahl ’10:

The recital is made up of some delightful piano pieces, mainly from twentieth century and American composers. The music spans a vast territory of sounds, invoking whimsy and wonder and landscapes and dreams, and there will be moments of both rambunctious song and quiet mystery, with some surprises, too, including sounds you might not expect coming out of a piano recital, and hopefully at least a few things you’ve never heard before.

Date: March 26
Time: 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Place: Crowell Concert Hall

Senior Recital: Love is Overtaking Us

Ben Seretan ’10 is always running around making pretty music. You might have heard him playing with Duchampion, or winning Awesomefest with Sweaty Boys, or making people weep into their paninos at Red and Black. This year, when he hasn’t been doing those things, he’s probably been (a) practicing for one of said performances, (b) taking advantage of happy hour at ION, or (c) putting together a thesis exploring the music of Arthur Russell. Who’s Arthur Russell, you may ask? Ben explains:

Arthur Russell is a queer Iowan Buddhist cello player country music lover swimmer disco maker avant garde Indian music bi-coastal hip hop drum machine singer. His music is about love and fun and swimming and being close to people and being so happy that you cry.

Ben writes lyrics about the tiny things that people think about when they’re not talking, like the anatomy of the human hand or the visual structure of trees. His songs are catchy, fun, and technically tight, but when he breaks through his veneer of restraint, he has a whole lotta vocal and guitar power to release. His musical persona is a hardened wild west cow herder dressed proudly in Donna Summers’ favorite sequined dress–he’ll make listeners feel nostalgic for an ill-defined Old West as he performs under a disco ball. The man has a solid stage presence.

This Friday, Ben will be performing the recital part of his thesis. He’ll play some Arthur Russell songs with some musically talented buddies, he’ll play some Arthur Russell songs by himself, and he’ll play some of his own songs.

Sixth Annual Sexual Health Expo & Fornication 101 by Megan Andelloux

Convened each year by WesWELL, the goal of the Sexual Health Expo is to promote sexual health and responsibility and increase student knowledge of campus health resources. A variety of issues are addressed, including promoting healthy relationships, disease and pregnancy prevention, sexual violence prevention, current political issues related to sexual and reproductive rights, and more.

We have a full day of events planned:

11:30am – Sexpo begins! Come to see displays organized by the PHAs, Davison Health Center, Planned Parenthood, Clinic Escorts, Take Back the Night, and more. Oh and don’t forget to take a picture with our giant genitalia models!
1:00pm – Talk With Me Baby Workshop
2:30pm – Wessex Workshop
4:00pm – Sexpo ends

Then at 4:15 you can go to WesKink’s How to Engage in Sex Positive Kink and/or BDSM Workshop:

In our workshop participants will learn how to start safely exploring their kinkier sides. First, participants will receive a brief introduction to what safe BDSM means. We’ll walk through general rules and resources for finding safe information, toys, and partners. Afterwards participants will get a chance to create their own negotiation checklists and practice partner negotiations. Come with questions! We’ll try our best to answer them at the end of the workshop, and if we can’t, chances are pretty good that we know where to send you to find them.

Place: Exley 139

And… perhaps the most exciting of all:
