at UTEP, and local organiza-
tions that are at your disposal
to enjoy! No need to spend the
big bucks for an off-Broadway
feature or live performance.
Most live performances here
at UTEP are free to UTEP
students and faculty. Full
disclosure — I am biased. After
working professionally as a
sports journalist for the past
decade, music kept calling my
name. And so I have found
myself once again at UTEP,
fulfilling a life-long quest to
pursue a music degree.
Mastering a musical instru-
ment, voice, or composition is
no different than what an ath-
lete undertakes in pursuing ex-
cellence in their sport. Hours of
training, mental strength and
focus are needed, muscle agility
and stamina, and the ability
to perform under pressure is a
must. Symphony concertgoers
appreciate this, just as much as
the avid sports fan appreciates a
widereceiver catching a touch-
down pass, a striker scoring a

music and theatre program here James. We are one in the same.
On any given week we are
fortunate to have esteemed mu-
sicians and artists visiting our
campus. Last week for example,
we had one of the principle mu-
sicians from the Broadway mu-
sical “Wicked” and the Santa
Fe Opera, Margaret Dyer, here
teaching a master class in viola
and performing a solo piece
with our UTEP symphony!
The influence of classical
music is undeniable, and its
continued relevancy allows it to
continue and endure through
the ages. It is my hope that
throughout these next few
months, more students will give
it a chance, and help support
the performing arts here on
campus.____________________

BY REBECCA REZA
The Prospector
Whether you know it or not,
your life has been surrounded
by classical music. It’s every-
where - from the latest Marvel
blockbuster to the Simpsons,
to video games, to rock bands,
to hip-hop samples and pop
number 1 hits. It is ingrained at
every turn in our culture. Sure,
it may not elicit the same head-
banging, screaming your lungs
out, fiery response that popular
music does today, but it is cool.
It is not branded and pre-
sented to us the way we have
come to expect today from
our entertainment. There are
no major light shows, no slew
of back-up dancers behind an
attractive, sexy artist selling the
music to us. It is not the indus-
trial product that we have been
ingrained to love. Perhaps that’s
why so many describe it as bor-
ing or old hat. Yet it endures.
This column is a new venture
by yours truly, thanks to the
editors here at The Prospector,
to explore why its not just your
grandparents who think classi-
cal music is so cool; why people
may shy away from it, what is so
significant about it, and what
it takes to make a career out of
it. Most important of all, this
column will strive to celebrate,
promote, and honor the many
talented musicians and artists
we have studying in and around
UTEP and our Sun City.
There are many facets of our
