The string quartet performance at Baruch was something I personally enjoyed. I played the violin for four years and really enjoyed learning about one of the most difficult instruments to master. So knowing ahead of time that this was a string quartet made me want to attend even more. As others have remarked, I too was shocked at the recital hall that Baruch almost secretly has. Sadly I probably would not have come across it, had it not been for the concert. It was small and the stage was relatively close to the audience, making the concert more in touch with the people attending it.

Tantalizingly Bizarre. Those two words sum up how i felt about Heiner Muller's Quartett. After a weeks worth of anticipatory class room discussion based on texts, I was looking forward to seeing the beast itself live on stage.

At first it was a bit jarring, and I struggled to make sense of it all between the captions and all the eccentric activity on stage.

Baruch College has a recital hall. That was probably the most shocking news I heard all year. I thought maybe the concert was just be in a room where they just happened to set up music stands. I had no idea we had an actual hall. When I saw this hall, it actually gave me hope as a Weismenn major. Sometimes the school focuses so much on Zicklin, it seems they lose sight of everyone else. So, seeing this recital hall, I already went into this concert with a positive attitude. Each of the three sections composed of beautiful music.

Before last Tuesday when I visited the Madison Square Park, I had no idea what the park contained other than shake shack. I've walked through the park only once in my whole life before Tuesday, but I never really took the time to stop and look at the statues and sculptures and other forms of art within the park. As I walked through the park, I realized the beauty of nature that surrounded the park. There were tons of trees in all different colors along with tons of grass. There was a circle of water which I was confused about because I didn't know what it was there for, it was just there.
