Student News Briefs – December 14, 2018

 

Have a wonderful day!


Walkers Be Careful

If you are walking to campus in the morning when it is still dark, please use extreme caution. There have been numerous reports of near misses as students are difficult to see in the dark, rain and snow.

It can be slippery so be cautious!

Wear reflective clothing and be careful out there!

Drivers should always be on the lookout for students walking to school as well!


The Rozsa Center Presents Three Holiday Concerts This Week

Celebrate the holidays with music at the Rozsa! Join the Rozsa Center and the Michigan Tech Department of Visual and Performing Arts for two holiday inspired concerts this week: enjoy “Gifts of Music,” a concert by the Superior Wind Symphony on Friday, December 14. And the Michigan Tech Choirs present a “Celebration of Lights” on Saturday, December 15. Both shows are at 7:30 pm at the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts.

On Friday, The Superior Wind Symphony brings musical gifts that are varied and diverse for you at the end of this year. The Gifts of Music program includes “The Sussex Mummer’s Christmas Carol” by Percy Grainger and Mike Christianson; “Three Moods of Hanukkah,” arranged by Lenny Niehaus; two traditional carols, Silent Night and O Tannebaum, co-arranged by Wynton Marsalis, and “Variations on a Shaker Melody” by  Aaron Copland; among other holiday-inspired songs.

Jared Anderson, Associate Professor of Music and Director of Choral Activities at Michigan Tech, presents A Celebration of Lights,  The choirs at Michigan Tech are looking forward to sharing a program of diverse music that they have grown to love over the past couple of months. The concert includes traditional carols as well as a number of newer pieces that capture the spirit of the holiday season, when the nights are long and we appreciate light from many sources.  The choirs will sing of light from the menorah, the moon, stars, warm homes, a cradle. We hope that people from across the Keweenaw will take some time to join us for this concert. We are especially looking forward to collaborating with the Copper Country Bells, a local group of handbell players who will join the combined choirs for two numbers on the program.”

Tickets for Gifts of Music and Celebration of Lights are on sale now, $13 for adults, $5 for youth, and no charge for Michigan Tech students with the Experience Tech fee. Tickets are available by phone at (906) 487-2073, online at mtu.edu/rozsa, in person at the Central Ticketing Office in the Student Development Complex, or the night of the show at the Rozsa box office, which opens two hours prior to performances.
