penguin CULTURE Rebranding New England Conservatory Following the recent success of the marketing department’s change of Not England Conservatory’s annual Brass Bash to the new, exciting, and wholly original Brash Bash (which included a world premiere of works by the composer Richard Stauss), we’ve come up with a few more new ways to rebrand our school. Be sure to catch one of our next Music: Truth No Power concerts on April 17th in Jaw Dinhall. This concert will feature the NEC Jizz Orchestra led by Ken Slapherst, playing music of the wonderful composer Sun Re. Sun Re turned 100 this year, and I’m told he’ll make a special appearance if enough people turn up to the concert! 2

Also in our close future, on April 23rd mastercard Hugh Wolves will lead the NEC Fullharmonic in an updated version of Shostakovich’s 11th Symphony, now subtitled “The Year 2005”. The revolution will end as you also listen to Beerthoven’s Eggmont Overture. This will be a special concert for all our students, as it will be in the Bostn Symphony’s Sinphony Hall. Not many people get the chance to play there, unless of course they pay enough money to do so! What you saw above was just a small sampling of the exciting changes you’ll see your tuition money go toward in the next year. Looking forward to another exciting ear of muzak at NEC led by our venerable Tony Woodcook!
