The semester is coming to an end and so are the events students can attend before the start of winter break. 

Some events include Music Theatre Scenes on Nov. 30, Fall Dance Concert on Dec. 1 through Dec. 5, Music Department Repertory Recital on Dec. 1, Jazz Orchestra and several other concert events. 

The “Fall Dance Concert” will consist of four different shows, giving students several opportunities to tune in whenever they are available. This event will be held via zoom and there will be a special opportunity where students can enjoy the performance live in Ballroom B of the Student Center. 

The live performance will be held on Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. For the opportunity to attend the concert live, students shall fill out a google form that confirms which in person event they are attending and when. For more information, students can visit the Seawolf Living page and under the events tab look for “Fall Dance Concert ” which has a link to the google form and more information on the dance concert.  

The Jazz orchestra will be on Friday Dec. 3 from 7:30 pm- 8:30 pm in Weill Hall at the Green Music Center (GMC). As usual with GMC events, admission is free to Sonoma State students with their SSU ID.

Students attend events at the GMC because they enjoy the scenery and ambiance it provides. 

Grace Victor, a sophomore at Sonoma State said “I have attended a couple of Jazz band concerts and I am in concert choir so I was also in a concert at the GMC. I enjoyed the feeling of sitting in a nice theatre and watching a good performance. I personally really enjoy going to see things in concert. I like to get a little more dressed up and the GMC is beautiful so it is a great experience overall.”

On the flip side some students are eager to attend events but can’t find the time in their schedule to do so. While students haven’t had much time to attend on campus events throughout the semester, they look forward to coming back from Thanksgiving break and taking advantage of what there is to participate in before the start of winter break. 

First year student Braiyan Cortez said “Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to attend any concert events this semester, I’ve been super busy with school, work and adjusting to college life. My goal is to be able to attend a concert event, in the upcoming weeks or even next semester to see how it goes and get to experience it.” 

Students are excited about the concert events but would also like to see more diversity for future instances in the type of concert events held. 

Cortez continued “I don’t only want to be a student at Sonoma, but I also want to be involved in as many activities as possible. Some concerts that I’d like to see are maybe anything for the Latino community, that would be epic.”
