This year’s recital by music fellow Katherine Skovira’s voice studio was as eclectic and compelling as the students performing it: from arias by Claudio Monteverdi to indie pop by Jonathan Coulton. Thanks to everyone for a great year! #rpi #rpihass #voice #song #singing #popmusic

This Design, Innovation & Society senior final project poster session felt like stepping into the world as it should be. Every project asked the same question in a different way—how can things be better—and then answered it with care, ingenuity, and purpose. #GenZInnovation

Imagine stepping on stage with no sheet music. That’s what RPI’s Contemporary Improvisation Ensemble did with “Constellations” at EMPAC—using instruments, generative algorithms, and trust to shape a live, improvised performance. Feat. Nick Dunston, Joey Latka, & @djrekha. #rpi
