Two sisters and a dog live out their lives on the bleak English moors, dreaming of love and power. The arrival of a hapless governess and a moor-hen set all three on a strange and dangerous path. The Moors is a dark comedy about love, desperation, and visibility.

Proceeds benefit the TU Foundation.

"The Moors" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

Join the TU Wind Ensemble & Symphonic Band for a mid-semester concert featuring classical and contemporary music for winds and percussion!

Every woman has a moment when she knows it’s time to stop waiting and start becoming. That moment is NOW, and this is the space.

Brought to you by The Forward Women's Leadership Forum, this event is more than a conference. It’s a movement of forward possibility, empowerment, and transformation. This 8th annual event brings together bold, brilliant women ready to rise, lead, and grow.

Brazilian-born brothers Sérgio and Odair Assad have created a new standard of guitar innovation, ingenuity and expression. Their exceptional artistry and uncanny ensemble-playing rooted in a family rich in Brazilian musical tradition and studies under guitarist/lutenist Monina Távora, a disciple of Andrés Segovia. Their virtuosity has inspired a wide range of composers to write for them including Astor Piazzolla, Terry Riley, Radamés Gnattali, Marlos Nobre, Nikita Koshkin, Roland Dyens, Jorge Morel, Edino Krieger, and Francisco Mignone.
