One of the requirements for the course is to attend two musical performances during the semester and turn in a typed, 1-2 page (double-spaced) review of each concert. The purpose of these reviews is to enhance your musical appreciation, to support your fellow students and the arts, to notice and describe any possible connections to course material, and to further develop your writing skills. The concerts should focus on classical or jazz music, and are not restricted to solely Holy Cross events. Concerts hosted by other colleges or by Music Worcester are also fine to attend for this assignment. A list of events hosted by the HC music department is available
