‘Wake the Arts’ this semester

The Wake the Arts Center’s opening celebration will be held on Thursday, Sept. 26, at 6 p.m. in Scales Lower Lobby. Faculty, staff and students can learn about the Center and the opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration.

The following are among the recently funded Wake the Arts Center projects

• Tanganza: Faculty and Guest Artist Concert with Jacqui Carrasco and Marco Sartor WFU music faculty join with guest singer Lorena Guillén and guest bassist and composer Alejandro Rutty to celebrate classic Argentine tangos as well as the nuevo tango style of today.
