This unique celebration of the latest in modern music combines the original creative endeavors of the talented undergraduate and graduate students of Dartmouth's music program with some of the leading, critically acclaimed musicians of the field, many of them visiting faculty within the department.

I'm no lover of the current White House Administration, but I hope for the sake of national security that the Secret Service is not the organization of bumbling, inept agents that is portrayed in "The Sentinel."

Bosco and Rubalcaba bring bossa nova to the Hop

This past Friday, Brazilian guitarist/singer/songwriter Joao Bosco and Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba visited the Hopkins Center, giving Dartmouth a rare night of Brazilian music and providing a wonderful concert for the public. When I think of Brazilian music, I imagine the gentle piano playing and virtuosic songwriting of Antonio Carlos Jobim and the soft voice of Joao Gilberto.

Editor's note: This article is the first of a four-part series examining senior theses and culminating experiences in the arts. As the middle of the term approaches, seniors majoring in every department at Dartmouth are busy wrapping up their projects and theses.

Courtesy of CD Universe Common sentiment regarding Prince's newest album, "3121," ranges from relief to surprise, with the general theme being the gradual rebirth of Prince's unique sound and musical proficiency. By all counts, the most recent product of The Artist Formerly Known As The Artist Formerly Known As Prince suggests a return to the Prince of the 1980s.
