>>The Department of Theatre and Music Studies is presenting Molly Smith Metzler’s Elemeno Pea.

>>On March 24, the Fine Arts Series will present Trio Ghidorah, a guitar ensemble consisting of three musicians who bonded and banded together when they were pursuing their doctorates at Eastman School of Music.
