SpringFest 2015: Celebrating Academics and the Arts
Last week, St. Luke’s celebrated the arts and academics at SpringFest 2015. The Senior Scholars Symposium started things off on Thursday evening. Twenty seniors presented the results of yearlong research projects in three categories: Global issues, Classical studies and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). Topics varied from China’s one child policy to the Athenian defeat in the Peloponnesian War to vibrotactile music.
The next afternoon was filled with an array of the arts including theatre, music, visual arts and poetry readings. In the Black Box Theater, the Upper School Acting Class presented Half Hour Hamlet—a new version of an old classic. The creative Composers Concert was next in the Seldin Center where a range of student-composed music was performed. The Senior Solo Art Shows and Spring Art Exhibition brought everyone to the Fireplace Commons where they enjoyed refreshments while appreciating the artwork surrounding them and piano music played by Olivia Mao ‘16. The festivities concluded with an hour of poetry recitations, musical performances and a preview of the upcoming Upper School play Almost, Maine.
