While Luther’s many musical ensembles and theatre productions often take the limelight, there is also a quietly thriving community of talented creative writers on campus. This series highlights some of the work of Luther’s own home-grown poets and authors. This week features poetry by Emily Mineart (‘10) and a student by the pen name of Russel Myricks (‘10).

Awards season is over, leaving the door open for summer movies to start entering theatres. Amongst the many new movies about to hit the big screen, here are some upcoming March flicks.

Watchmen - March 6

This year, the 27th annual Christmas at Luther program was performed Dec. 4 - 7. With the combination of over 600 Luther musicians and a sold-out audience each night, the concert was a truly special experience.

After a brief hiatus, Art Club is back, but with a new name: the Luther Artist’s Collective. LAC held its first meeting earlier this fall during which they elected officers and became an official campus organization.

Blitzen Trapper - Furr

Furr, Blitzen Trapper’s first LP on the iconic label Sub Pop Records, is music for wanderers. This is the fourth release from the Portland, Oregon-based band, and they display a knack for penning rock n’ roll melodies and lilting folk ballads.

The ‘80s might be back in style, but the outdated concert posters in Marty’s were not as fashionable. Bands like the Indigo Girls and singers like Ben Harper and Melissa Etheridge have not played at Luther since the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, but up until last week, their posters were still being displayed in Marty’s.

It’s hard to miss all the photos around campus buildings. Photos can be seen up and down the halls of the Union, Olin and lining the walls of the Regents’ track. But where are these pictures from? Who takes them? And more importantly, what can students do to get their photos up on the walls? The answers lie within Photo Bureau.

The Jitro Girls Choir from Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic, performed at Luther Nov. 14, bringing in an audience awed by voices of the 26 middle and high school girls.

Grieves - 88 Keys & Counting

Managing beats better than any other indie hip-hop artist, Grieves has created a smooth sound on his album “88 Keys and Counting.” Aside from the instrumental sounds that just flow, he masters harmony in his songs better than any other artist out there today.
