Tonight’s Baylor Symphony Orchestra concert will be unconventional, to say the least.
Members of the Seinan Gakuin University Chamber Orchestra, from Fukuoka, Japan, will play alongside the Baylor Symphony Orchestra.
The concert commemorates the 40th anniversary of the sister relationship between the two schools.
Meet Luke Gibson, one of the chosen few who will be represented by Baylor’s student-run record label, Uproar Records, this school year.
Gibson, an Abilene freshman, is the only freshman artist selected, which he finds a huge honor.
I’ve seen a lot of Baylor musicals.
I haven’t enjoyed any as much as I enjoyed “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.”
“Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” tells the story of Lawrence Jameson, a suave, continental con-man on the French Riviera.

Pianist Joel McCray began his classical training at age 5, but that did not stop him from exploring the keys of his family piano at age 2.
McCray’s musical journey came naturally to the Waco native, who believed his hearing overpowered his ability to read music. For McCray, music was simply natural.
“End of Watch” is like the “Paranormal Activity” of cop movies. It aims to bring the viewer into the heat of the action through the shaky shots and handheld cameras.
“End of Watch” uses the novelty successfully, creating a sense of urgency and bringing the actor’s point of view to light.
Few places embody punk rock ideals less than Las Vegas, the setting for Green Day singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong’s onstage tantrum on Friday night. And few Green Day albums embody the punk ideal less than “¡Uno!,” the band’s eighth studio album. Both highlight the challenges of turning rebellion into money.
In 2009, it looked as if we might be on the cusp of a golden age of science fiction in TV and film. “Battlestar Galactica” was wrapping up its award-winning, five-year run and the big-screen Star Trek reboot proved to be a surprisingly enjoyable return to form.
Big names in music are coming to the Baylor campus.
At 7:30 p.m. Friday, Common Grounds welcomes back Sondre Lerche, a Norwegian singer-songwriter whose talents range from a “jazz band leader, a punk howler, a would-be Springsteen [and] a transatlantic teen idol.”
“To say I’m formally trained is giving me more credit,” Lerche said in a biography available via his official website. “I still to this day cannot read music.”
“I first heard her at an open-mic at Common Grounds, but when I first saw her I was like, ‘This girl is a creative genius.’ I have to meet her and play music with her,” said Andrew Hulett, member of Waco-based band Lomelda.
If you want to eat like a 20th century 1960s family, you’ll now have a chance. “The Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Sixties Cookbook” brings back all those family favorites that you might only have seen on television or the Thanksgiving table.
When a new restaurant comes to town, everyone and their mother packs up the car and heads over. That’s understandable.
Last Friday, we headed over to Waco’s new Quaker Steak and Lube to try it out.

The Dallas Symphony Orchestra opened its new concert season in spectacular fashion this past weekend at the Meyerson Symphony Center in downtown Dallas.
The program seemed purposefully well-rounded, evoking an array of emotions and showing off a wide range of the orchestra’s capabilities.
It would seem that Sonny has been found.
There’s still buzz at Baylor about the Texas Independent Film Network’s premiere of “Searching for Sonny” on Sept. 6.
