No more music On March 30, I received an email from the music listserv declaring “beginning instrumental or vocal instruction will no longer be offered, either as studio or as class instruction.” I must say that I’m appalled. In the past couple of years the music department has been a hotbed of activity for the […]
Think of an older woman whose hair is graying and whose life experiences show in the creases of her skin. Now think of that woman in a dance leotard, devoid of her social confines. This woman dances for five hours a day, flies around the world, meets with foreign artists and goes to bed well […]
In Ben Cocchiaro’s senior year of high school, he received a gig from an online ad that read “Wanted: guitarist for a wedding. Must play Bob Dylan.” While the sophomore’s entry into the wedding circuit as a musician at such a young age may be impressive, don’t call him the wedding singer – it is […]

It seems as though the 31-year-old Australian has found the perfect combination between “chill” and “go-getter.” At his April 6 show at the 9:30 Club, Butler’s […]
Future GW students may not have to worry about how they are going to get to all three local airports if Metro finishes recently proposed expansions to both Dulles and Baltimore-Washington International. Late last month Maryland initiated a $1 million study to analyze a possible 20-mile expansion of the Metro’s green line with a stop […]
Professor In?s Azar may stand a head shorter than most people, but her less- than-average height does not put a limit on the number of students and colleagues who look up to her. Azar, a professor of Spanish and human sciences, is this year’s recipient of the Trachtenberg Prize for Teaching, an award given to […]
