A group of nine Luther students presented the spring play “The Secret in The Wings,” written by Mary Zimmerman last week in the Center for the Arts, Jewel Theatre. Performed five times May 2-5 it was a big, if slightly confusing, hit for all audiences.

Released a year ago in the U.K., Sparkadia’s lastest release, “The Greatest Impression,” has now hit American shores.

Hailing from Australia, the band began in 2004 as The Spark, but now is a solo project of Alexander Burnett after the group split up in 2009. This second full-length album was produced by Mark Tieku (Florence + the Machine) in London with Burnett playing multiple instruments on the recording.

DJ’s know how to make people move.

Almost always behind the scenes, four Luther students have turned their love for music into something everyone can dance to.

Patrick Hussey (‘12) first became interested in becoming a DJ while a member of the Eclipse dance team as a first-year.

Forged in a northwoods cabin mere months ago, Decorah based General B and The Wiz’s latest offering, “Right in the Head” (2012) captures the essence of the group perfectly, coming as close as possible to a live album without piping in screaming fans.

For their annual spring opera the Luther music department presents Mozart’s “Cosi fan tutte.” One of Mozart’s most famous operas, “Cosi fan tutte” focuses on the story of two young couples.

Professor of Music Tim Peter (‘86) has taken his final bow on Luther’s stage.

Last week, Peter conducted his final Collegiate Chorale and Norsemen concerts, on Tuesday and Friday respectively.

Prominent artist Sue Hettmansperger spoke in the Wigley-Fleming Gallery in the Center for the Arts April 25. Her presentation was titled “Entanglement: Nature and Culture in My Art.”
