On Friday, Aug. 29 at 2 p.m. in the Carl J. Shapiro Theater, students and faculty shared some insight into the visual, musical and theatrical arts programs on campus in an information session entitled "Art for Curious Minds." There was an encouragingly large turnout for an event smack in the middle of the second day of classes.

Friday night in Slosberg Music Center's Recital Hall, about 200 students, faculty and friends of the Brandeis community celebrated Leonard Bernstein's life and musical career at "Late Night with Leonard Bernstein." The event was part of the Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts, a festival founded especially for Brandeis by the acclaimed 20th-century composer himself in 1952. The concert was hosted by Bernstein's daughter, Jamie Bernstein, and featured music played and sung by two professional pianists, Michael Boriskin and John Musto, and a professional soprano, Amy Burton.

ometimes you just need a relaxing Saturday night after a long week and what better way to relax than to sit back, take a deep breath and enjoy a beautiful concert.
The three exhibits now showing at the Rose Art Museum are some of the most mentally taxing art exhibits I have been to in a long time, showing pieces that range from creepy to weird to just blatantly confusing.
