Skidmania秋季2023
The 音乐系 is pleased to announce the second annual Skidmania, planned for November 17-18, 2023 at the Arthur 赞克尔音乐中心. 庆祝音乐 of 50 years ago, and fueled by the talent and imagination of Skidmore student musicians, Skidmania ’73 will offer an exciting and inclusive bill of music and musicians, with all proceeds to charity.
Auditioned student acts will present creative twists on familiar music, or straight-up tributes--all based on selections from the music of 1973. Some noteworthy eligible songs include “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” (Stevie Wonder), “Dream On” (Aerosmith), “Killing Me Softly” (Roberta Flack), “Stir it Up” (Bob Marley), “Daniel” (Elton John), “Higher Ground” (Stevie Wonder), tracks from the debut albums of Bruce Springsteen, The Pointer Sisters, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and so many more fantastic possibilities! 查看下面的更多想法.
