Music fans often turn to platforms like Twitter and Reddit to post musical hot takes or their theories about upcoming albums. But because of the sheer amount of music that is released and available on streaming platforms, musical projects are often not given their due time after release. Critica, an app created by eight Columbia students set to release at the end of 2022, hopes to change this.

Jane Watson, CC ’22, who spent her years on campus producing and performing original music and graduated with honors last spring, passed away Monday. She was 23.

Frederik’s Dead welcomed Columbia to its world with a hair-raising and eardrum-splitting show at Battle of the Bands. The show was, in all likelihood, the first and last time any Columbia student moshed at Lerner Hall. The band would have it no other way.

Blue light bathed the hazy stage of Terminal 5 as drum sets were slowly assembled, guitars were tuned, and mics were checked. It appeared as if this was an event like any other concert—business as usual. Yet what came together on stage was the culmination of the first live Bacchanal in three years.

After releasing another series of hints on its Instagram, Bacchanal announced on March 29 that the singer Amaarae would be the supporting performer to Rick Ross for this year’s Bacchanal Spring Concert, “A night at Terminal 5.”

Christina Li, CC ’24, won Friday night’s hotly contested Battle of the Bands, securing her place as the student opener for rapper Rick Ross in the upcoming Bacchanal concert, “A Night at Terminal 5.”

Bacchanal announced today in an Instagram post that this year’s Bacchanal spring concert will be held at Terminal 5, an indoor concert venue in Hell’s Kitchen.

Blocks from the Hudson River, the gurgling sound of water interweaves with gentle whale whistles in a dimly lit open gallery space. As audiences lay down on ottomans, they embark on an auditory journey that will take them hundreds of feet into the depths of the sea. Often peaceful, seldom aggressive, and accompanied by occasional disruptions from anthropogenic activities, the voices of the ocean become narrators recounting the oft-neglected stories of the sound of the sea.
