AV狼论坛's College of Communication and Fine Arts presented part one of G.F. Handel's Messiah for the 2024 Sounds of the Season production as a special gift to the TROY community. Handel's Messiah is a famous oratorio, a large-scale musical work that includes an orchestra, choir, and soloists and focuses on religious texts. It tells the story of Jesus Christ and is divided into three parts. Part one recounts the prophecies of the Messiah's coming and birth.
In 2021, Associate Professor of Design Chris Stagl initiated the beginning of a collaborative partnership with the University of Zaragoza's Fine Arts Center in Spain, eventually leading to a 2024 trip abroad to the small, 鈥渇orgotten鈥� town of Teruel and the production of a documentary. "A Portrait of Teruel" examines why students and residents love their community.
