Join us for a Senior Concert celebrating graduating choir members through a moving
program of songs dedicated to friendship, belonging and their new journeys after college.
Students in the film and television production major will show their capstone film
projects. The showcase allows graduating students to connect with the younger classes,
share their experiences as film majors, present their films and discuss the process
they went through to get to the final cut of their films. Many of the students will
be presenting their projects to family and friends for the first time.
The New Venture Fair (NVF) is a valuable part of Cal Lutheran's entrepreneurial education
experience, in which student teams share their innovative startup projects in a competitive
environment. The NVF is a dynamic and exciting event where the community gets its
first look at Cal Lutheran's exceptional student entrepreneurs and vote for their
favorites.
The Émigré Songbook is a concert-lecture exploring how 20th-century migration reshaped
the sound of art song, jazz, Broadway and film music. Featuring works by composers
including Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Erich Korngold, George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein,
the program will examine how exile, adaptation and cultural exchange helped define
the musical identity of Los Angeles and modern America. Through performance and historical
commentary, it will highlight displacement as a powerful creative force in 20th-century
music.
Together, Intertwined: CLU Dance Concert will offer a dynamic evening of dance presented

The concert will highlight the creativity, technical skill and artistic voices of
emerging choreographers as they explore themes of connection, relationships and shared
human experience through movement. Admission is free, but reservations are recommended.
