Booking big acts is no small feat

By Jackie Rose | November 23, 1994

This term the College hosted two giants of the recording industry. The Pretenders played in Leede Arena last month and Natalie Merchant, formerly of the 10,000 Maniacs, performed in Webster Hall last weekend. In the past few years, Billy Joel, the B-52s, 10,000 Maniacs, Phish and Ziggy Marley have performed at the College. Despite this plethora of popular music acts, Hanover doesn't strike one as a cultural mecca, probably because attracting big-name singers is a complicated process involving the coordination of logistical details and a lot of luck. According to Linda Kennedy, the coordinator of student programs and adviser to the Programming Board, the Programming Board can only bring a band to campus if the band is on tour and will be performing in the Hanover vicinity. Kennedy explained that when a band decides to go on tour, agents representing the band try to sell gigs to promoters.

Nuestras Voces dramatizes issues of Latino identity

By David Lelesi | November 22, 1994

The Latina theatrical group Nuestra Voces captivated its audiences this weekend with its presentation of "Nuestra Latinidad" in the Warner Bentley Theater. Performing four short plays consisting mostly of monologues, the group addressed issues relevant to Latino-Americans, including ethnic heritage, sexuality, religious persecution and racism. Underlying all these themes lies the subtext of personal identity -- an issue particularly resonant for Latino-Americans because they face unique obstacles.

Wind Symphony to perform

By Susan Zieger | November 22, 1994

The theme of the Dartmouth Wind Symphony's concert tonight, "Variations," provides a tantalizing musical feast, a sort of smorgasbord of composers and styles. Under the direction of conductor Max Culpepper, the symphony will play such diverse works as "Variations on a Korean Folk Song" by John Barnes Chance, "Variations on America" by Charles Ives and "Theme and Variations, Opus 43" by Arnold Schoenberg. The symphony's guest artist is Michael Coburn, euphonium soloist, who will be featured on Ponchielli's "Concerto per Flicorno Basso" and Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee." Coburn, who began studying the euphonium at age 10, is the principal euphonium with the U.S.

Natalie Merchant shows off new songs, new band

By Susan Zieger | November 21, 1994

Natalie Merchant's sold-out Friday night performance was less a concert than an informal evening of music during which the singer, formerly of the 10,000 Maniacs, experimented with new songs. "You're the guinea pigs," she told the audience, who seemed more than happy to hear the unreleased work that Merchant has written since the dissolution of her band. Merchant, who complained lightly of a cold, sat at a keyboard and sipped tea through the first third of the show.

Nachtwey '70 speaks

By Stephanie Saad | November 17, 1994

Last night at the Hood Museum, preeminent photojournalist James Nachtwey '70 presented a slide show and narration of his 13 years in a profession defined by danger, violence and the witnessing of the world's horrors. Nachtwey described himself as a 'war photographer,' and chronicled how he became interested in photography at the College and, lacking the money to enter graduate programs, how he educated himself 'in the aisles of bookstores' and on various small assignments, beginning international photography in 1981. While the photographs stand alone as testament to atrocities around the world, Nachtwey's narrative lent insight into his emotional engagement in his work.

Skiway improves lifts, snow making

By Nathaniel Leclery | November 17, 1994

The Dartmouth Skiway, coming off a very successful past year, has made several improvements for the upcoming ski season. The Skiway enhanced the quadruple chair lift installed last year and purchased all new rental equipment for the 1994-95 season, a Skiway spokesperson said. The Skiway has also improved its snow making capabilities and can now cover 60 percent of the mountain with natural snow. But the spokesperson said it is still too warm to make snow and the Skiway is not planning to open until the middle of December. Last year Hanover received more than six feet of snow, providing the Skiway some of its best conditions in years. Two years ago the Skiway, which features 16 trails and three lifts, turned its first profit since 1985.
