SEVEN DEADLY SEAMS: Ruth Asawa School of the Arts Technical Theater Dept Fashion Show

The seventh annual fashion show on April 28, 2017, hosted by Costume Head Annete Ribeiro, was a waterfall of colorful and innovative new clothing. Featuring clothing sets of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, the Theater Tech Department stunned everyone (yet again) with their skill and mastery at creating their very own show with a set design meant to amaze and intrigue the audience.

Designers of collections included Grace McGee, Bea Nussbaum, Sophia Lunardi, Alyssa McDowell, Assata Conley (freshmen),Mina Kreutzer Joo, Char Burns (sophomores), Julias Ocampo, Beatrice Griffin, Amarisa Azucar, Maya Clemmons, Meztli Mercado (juniors), and Nina Patchell (senior).

All the clothing was well fit and displayed creativity, unusual influences, and scintillating patterns and designs. Unfortunately, I do not have a list of all the models in the program, but I can state for a fact that they were all elegant and original in their presenting of the clothing. Each individual brought their own spark of creativity to the show, and the result was a much enjoyable and upbeat one for the audience.

Round of applause to the entire Theater Tech Department of SOTA for keeping together the school's entire season of concerts. Without them, our concerts would not be even half of what they are now. The Technical Theater Department is led by director Paul Kwapy.

Vicky Ehrlich and Ava Soifer Something folks may not know about me is that not only do I love live music, I ADORE small performance venues that create intimate settings for enjoying the live music mentioned above. To further the plot, I am enraptured by house concerts and struggle to think of a house concert I have attended and walked away disliking. It seems that house concerts are by default enjoyable and provide an elevated form of intimate live music and entertainment lacking in our digital age. February 11th I had the utmost pleasure of attending my first house concert since 2018, a benefit concert for Music on the Hill , a community-supported, non-profit chamber music organization presenting "high quality concerts at affordable prices". "Faces of Love" was a vocal concert predominantly featuring pianist and music director of Music on the Hill Ava Soifer and two members of the internationally renowned vocal a cappella ensemble Chanticleer , bass Andy Berry an...

There’s Hope For New Music After All

I wrote this back in October when the latest Chopin banger dropped, right after the Mozart trio.

Museum curator, composer, and scholar, Robinson McClellan, stumbles upon an inconspicuous piece of postcard-sized paper. Item No. 147. McClellan looks closer. It is a never before seen Chopin waltz, composed sometime between 1830 and 1835 for piano. But wait. A new Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin leak in 2024? Didn't we just... Leipzig Stadtbibliothek .
