Student ARTS Fest

I'm making my first blogging debut live from the Student Arts Fest! Usually Brenda, our lovely Publicity Chair is the dedicated program board blogger, but tonight I've been itching to contribute. So HELLO! I'm Lily, your PB president for the remaining few weeks of this spring semester.

There's a cozy community of NYU kids sitting indian style on the floor listening to musicians from our campus. There has been some amazing original music, and some classic covers (shout out to weezer). We've been treated to very diverse acts, including a 4-member smooth jazz ensemble, and of course a handful of soft-spoken acoustic performances.




I'm quite impressed with the talent we've seen tonight. It takes serious guts to put yourself out there as an artist in front of a discerning audience, and these performers have been great!

Allie Nudelman, our briliant Student Arts Chair put together this entire show. Thank you Allie! It was a great opportunity for NYU musicians to put themselves out there and be heard. She organized a refreshing line up of about 12 acts who each played for only 15 minutes. Check out some of tonight's performers on the Interweb Highway:

Tree Union
Kristen Barry and her band LMNOP
Chris Frank
Richie Aufrichtig
Grace and Julian

THANKS TO ALL THAT SHOWED UP TONIGHT. I LOOOOOVE HANGING OUT AND EATING TREATS WITH MY LOVELY PROGRAM BOARDERS (and the occasional WNYU representative)

P.S. Check out WNYU, a lovely girl named Kayla Cohen has a lovely New Afternoon Show full of sweet new jams on Monday afternoons.
