ArtsCanisius and A Musical Feast are thrilled to host an international concert and dance performance this semester called “Tango Nocturna.” The event will take place on Saturday, October 15, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. in the Montante Cultural Center.
Organized by Moshe Shulman, a founder of Buffalo Tango Orkestra and publisher of “Three to Tango – Basic Music Theory for Tango Dancers,” this event is sure to be sensational. Shulman is a Russian-born Israeli composer, and violin, viola and bandoneon player. Shulman will be accompanied by Miranda Shulman, violin; Fabrizio Mocata from Italy on piano; double-bassist James Marone; and Romina Bianco, an Argentinian vocalist. The two tango performers – also from Argentina – are Guillermina Quiroga and Mariano Loguidice. They are world-renowned for their stunning performances.
Tickets are $15 for general admission, $7 for faculty and staff, and $5 for students. They can be purchased online at canisius.edu/artscanisius or at the door.
For additional information about this and future ArtsCanisius events, please contact Professor Yvonne Widenor, director of ArtsCanisius, at widenory@canisius.edu or at 716.888.2531.

We now have a lightboard studio on campus, and are tooling it up for general use. This allows for efficient lecture recording for faculty who teach primarily using a chalkboard or whiteboard. Here is a quick demonstration of how you can teach in recordings using the LightBoard. You can view other examples of lightboard video here and here.
COLI is looking for volunteers who might try out the lightboard studio! If you plan on recording a lecture or would just like to try it out, Email us. We’ll set up times for you to record!
