Think a thousand dollars could make your on-campus winter term so much sweeter? That’s the prize for writing a winning concert review of one of the four Rubin Institute concerts this week.

Sound good? Your first outing before one of the concerts should be to Clonick Hall this afternoon (Wednesday the 18th) at 3:30pm, where Charles Michener (that guy grinning at you above), former senior editor of Newsweek and the New Yorker magazine, will offer critiquing pointers, listening tips, and writing strategies.
