A Vibrant First Week: Rehearsals, Forums, and Wertheim Music Kickoff 2023 We hope this email finds you in good spirits and ready for the 23/24 season! As we dive into the rhythm of another incredible semester, we wanted to share the excitement of our first week. The energy on campus has been nothing short of exhilarating! The Wertheim came alive with the sound of music as forums and rehearsals returned. Seeing the practice rooms and performance spaces buzzing with activity reaffirmed that we are all here for the same reason – the love of music. The highlight of the week was undoubtedly our 2023 Wertheim Music Convocation—an afternoon filled with hope and promise for the year ahead. Music majors, dedicated faculty, and amazing staff came together, setting the stage for an exceptional journey of growth and exploration. It was heartening to witness so many faces, both familiar and new, united by their passion for music. As we reflect on this exciting first week, we're reminded that each note played, each discussion had, and each connection made contributes to the rich tapestry of our musical community. Our collective dedication to music and each other propels us forward, ready to grace the stage once again and we hope that you'll be there with us! |
