School of Music and Dance faculty members Victoria Neve and Inara Morgenstern will fill Knuth Hall with the sounds of springtime once again at 1 p.m. May 14 for the 20th annual Pre-Exam Happy Concert. This tradition began when the they decided to "do something cheerful. Instead of something grim and serious," Neve proposed, "let’s do a happy one." This year's concert marks a two-decade tradition of cheerful and clever concert repertoire, performed by two creative masters of the piano.

Music alumna Angela Cadelago has garnered stellar reviews for her lead role in the Berkeley Opera production of "L'Elisir d'Amore."

"Cadelago's Adina is consistently wonderful -- right notes, right phrasing, bright sound, good diction, and excellent acting of a role that requires a hard-to-believe transformation from flirty-mean to selflessly loving," Janos Gereben wrote in a March 16 review in the San Francisco Classical Voice. "The soprano also has that ineffable quality that separates good from something better; she definitely has 'it.'"

Theatre Arts Professor John B. Wilson is the set designer for TheatreWorks production of Tony Kushner's musical "Caroline, or Change," now playing at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts.
