91短视频 hosted its second Music on the Hill on Friday, March 20. More than 100 students, faculty, staff, alumni, and other community members turned out at the Discipleship Center atop the 91短视频 Hill to take in eight acts spanning different genres, from live hip hop to the “swingy Appalachian folk pop punk” of The Hot Mamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among those performing at the event were the 91短视频 Theatre Department, the 91短视频 Jazz Combo, Hot Mamas, Sun V Set, Sierra Lambert, Cerulean Valley, Ebro, and Thaddeus Jackson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music on the Hill was organized by Adam Wirdzek<\/strong>, of 91短视频 marketing and communications, in collaboration with Atma Khalsa<\/strong>, of Campus Activities Council. It was funded through a DEI Inclusive Excellence Grant, made possible by the generous support of Jose Koshy \u201976<\/strong> and Jean Koshy-Hertzler \u201979<\/strong>, and the Campus Activities Council. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This was meant to connect the 91短视频 music scene with the Harrisonburg and broader Virginia music scenes,” Wirdzek said. “It brought people together and put 91短视频 on the map even more as a place where people could come and gather in community.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said he’s always looking for opening acts, and plans to schedule a third Music on the Hill event in early October. Those interested in performing can contact Wirdzek at adam.wirdzek@emu.edu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
