Puja:  If you met her today though, you wouldn’t necessarily know that she went through any of this. She spoke with a confidence that commanded the entire room. Spoken word poetry was the thing that she discovered in 2003 that seemed to change her whole life.

Maggie: Sonya Taylor gave a spoken performance of different poems she has written related to different body issues. This week is eating disorder awareness week, so all of Sonya's poems were about body image, self-love and just general life topics.

Anne:  A line that stuck out to me before Sonya had began to read her poems was “something something… it’s like herpes but happier”.

Kelly: quote from a speaker: “We are as perfect as perfect as perfect can be.”

Roshni: This put my life into perspective and how much I should have a different attitude when it comes to trying new things and taking good risks. She really was effective at motivating the crowd with her relatable stories, since self esteem is something everyone struggles with at some time.

Lindsey: wine tasting krannert

I turned 21 one week ago so I was particularly interested in attending this event as I have never been to a wine tasting before

Alex: The leaflet that we were given with information about Tuscan Hills Winery in Effingham made it looks like a nice romantic little place to check out, and luckily if i ever go, i'll know which wine to order!

Lindsey: venice baroque orchestra

It is recognized as one of the premier ensembles devoted to period instrument performance. The orchestra has frequant radio broadcasts and have also been seen on BBC, ARTE, NTR and NHK

Brian: This was also the first performance I have ever seen at Krannert. What I found extremely interesting was some of the instruments that were used. Some of which I have never seen before. The opera singer also had an amazing voice with great tone. Listening to this MAN sing such high pitched notes was incredible. A performance like this is something I would highly recommend to someone and hope to go again!

Cate: The second group was much better and probably the best over all. They had really good chemistry and kept things simple and clean. The most funny joke of theirs and of the night was probably a “yo momma” joke. It was simple, unexpected and executed well.

Sunday, Mar. 2

- 3:00pm// UI Philharmonia// Krannert Center, Foellinger Great Hall// $4-$10// JOEY
Joey: As for the performance itself, I don't think I was really quite as invested in it as I was the ceiling. That isn't meant to be critical. I thought the music was nice, it was quite beautiful really. But I couldn't say I was 'taken' by it, and I think that might have been due to the many thoughts and anxieties running through my head.
