The Last One Begins…
Jan. 15, 2014—I am now more than a full week into my last semester at Vanderbilt. That sentence is much easier to write than to really accept. So much still to do, so little time!
Melo Cyrus
Dec. 6, 2013—Perhaps even more daunting than the prospect of imminent papers and finals was The Melodores‘ annual winter concert. The couple of weeks leading up to (even Thanksgiving break, to an extent) had been rather taxing, to be honest, and juggling rehearsals and classes was becoming increasingly difficult. I was also, however, incredibly excited. Our practices...
Radiolab Live
Nov. 27, 2013—Cool things happen in Nashville, and about a month ago (I'm just a little behind on blogging...) I got to experience a particularly cool thing. Fellow blogger Nathan and I went to see one of our favorite podcasts, Radiolab, translated into live format. And it was awesome.
The Vanderbilt Review: Profiles
Nov. 26, 2013—It's been a while, dear readers, and perhaps you've been wondering what has kept me from blogging as often as I normally do. Well, allow me to show you one of the things that has recently been filling my time!
Inside Blair: Shopping for Supplies
Nov. 16, 2013—The winter weather is upon us, and we are fearful for our instruments. Poor Dmitri, his string height keeps getting lower and lower because of this bipolar weather we've been having. Did y'all see the flurries on Monday?
Little Donuts & The Art of Crawling
Nov. 3, 2013—I love donuts. I love art. And I just found a way to combine them.
A Lecture at the Parthenon
Oct. 30, 2013—I recently attended a lecture at the Nashville Parthenon and it has reminded me just how lucky I am to live in a city so dedicated to celebrating history and art. How many people can study for their Greek art history exam by walking in the park?!
Performance Weekend or Parents Weekend?
Oct. 5, 2013—Hello friends! This past weekend was filled with two of my favorite things; performances and my parents! Like my fellow star blogger, Erica Graff, my weekend kicked off on Thursday evening at Vanderbilt University Theatre’s production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. I did not know much about the show before hand, but it was fantastic...
The Art of Patronage
Sep. 26, 2013—“For some of us it is performance, for others, patronage. They are two sides of the same coin…” For the past seven years, I’ve been a spectator. An audience member. A patron. Sure, I had my share of elementary school Christmas plays and summer camp skits, but acting never grabbed me. What grabbed me was...
Chin Up, Anchor Down
Sep. 17, 2013—Luckily I have yet to succumb to the sophomore slump, and looking back at the last month or so, I actually could not be happier to be back in this place of intellectual and social vitality, where racial appropriation in the latest pop music video is typical breakfast conversation, and long nights are trekked in...
‘s Go to the Symphony!
Aug. 21, 2013—As a cellist at Blair, I get geekily giddy about the Nashville Symphony’s upcoming concert season. As a poor college student, I am sorely short in trying the funds to buy tickets. A huge “however” is in order though, because the Nashville Symphony has a program called SoundCheck for classical music loving students like me and you to be able to soak in some fantastic orchestral performances and bask in all the grandeur of the Schermerhorn Hall!
Art Class in Guatemala
Jun. 6, 2013—So, today is actually my last full day in Guatemala. I plan on sharing a full summary of my month with you all when I get home. But now, I want to share an experience I had teaching art class this past Tuesday.
