(Concert Report #1 and Concert Report #2) These concerts contextualize topics discussed in class and they are an important opportunity for you to experience live music up-close and in-person. You may attend any concert or musical theater/ballet performance of your choosing. The Mason Gross calendar of on-campus events can be found here:
