April 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium
Two grand pianos face each other...classical music and jazz merge in a burst of virtuosity! A team unlike any other, electrifying duo-duel pianists Matt Herskowitz and John Roney tackle some of the most beloved
classical piano masterpiecesin the spirit of the great interpreters, enhancing their renditions with improvised variations worthy of the best jazz players. Blessed with total technical command, each musician is capable of remarkable keyboard prowess while expressing himself in a deeply musical way. Every concert is like an emotional roller coaster that can soar from quiet hushes to ecstatic peaks of intensity in one fell swoop. From the opening downbeat to the show stopping finale, these partners are in total synch with each other, sometimes in perfect harmony, elsewhere testing their wits to surprise both themselves and their listeners. Spectators can also get in on the action, with closeup camera shots of each player projected on a large stage screen. The two pianists will perform a selection of pieces from Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, Grieg, Schumann, Rachmaninov, George Gershwin and D. Brubeck.
Community Members:
$17 each for adults
$10 each for students (high school age and under)
CSI Faculty/Staff:
$10 each (only two tickets per employee)
$7 each for your children
CSI Students:
$5 each (with student IDs shown at the CSI Box Office)

The CSI Stage Door Series will present "Sentences"
at 7:30 p.m. on April 19 in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium. Tickets are $10 for adults or $5 for students. Tickets will be available at the CSI Box Office, by calling 732-6288, at the door, or by going online to
http://tickets.csi.edu.
For the past year, CSI instructor Shane Brown has ventured into the Idaho State Penitentiary to teach creative writing workshops to inmates. Explore how the introduction of creativity and artistic expression affected the lives of these men fettered by iron bars and the deeds of their pasts. The works the inmates created-poetry, scripts, memoirs, short stories-will be presented by local actors. Can beauty be found buried behind concrete and steel, veiled from the rest of society?
The CSI Stage Door Series, intimate arts experiences where both performers and audience members are on the stage itself, are designed to be thought-provoking and a little out of the ordinary in different ways - whether it's because of the intimate setting, the material performed, the way they are presented, or the collaborations involved.
For more information, contact the CSI Fine Arts Center at 732-6788.

The College of Southern Idaho is now accepting registrations for this summer's Music Fest, which runs June 11 - 15, 2018 at the CSI Fine Arts Center. Registrations will be accepted through May 1.
Music Fest, a music day camp for students age 12 to 18, is an opportunity for students to participate in many areas of music and interact with a faculty of professional music educators from all over the state who are chosen for their expertise in their field and work with youth. Students choose a major and spend significant time each day in classes related to their major. Available majors include strings, vocal, musical theater, percussion, organ, and piano. In addition to work in their major, all students participate in the camp choir and have three elective periods to choose from. There are a wide variety of elective classes to choose from, such as drumming circle, small ensembles, musical theater, girls' choir, and many more. On the last evening of the camp, all students perform in the Music Fest concert.
CSI Music Fest is exceptionally affordable. Tuition is $195 for early bird tuition prior to March 15 or $225 after March 15. This fee covers all program costs for the students, including instructional materials. Housing is available for those students wishing to homestay with Twin Falls students and their families. Other optional items such as photos, lunches, and private lessons are also available for an additional cost.
All students must be registered by May 1. A limited number of needs-based scholarships are available.
For more information or to obtain a registration form, go to www.csi.edu/musicfest or stop by the CSI Fine Arts Center. You can also call Camille Barigar at 732-6288 or e-mail [email protected].

Degrees are not automatically awarded. Students MUST complete an Application for Graduation to be considered for a degree.
- How do I know whether I am ready to apply for graduation?
Meet with your Academic Advisor to review your Graduation Degree Audit Report. If you are ready to graduate, all requirements should show as "met" or "in progress."
- What is a degree audit?
A degree audit is the process of checking your records to ensure you have met all requirements for graduation. This includes making sure transfer courses and substitutions have been properly applied. See the Office of the Registrar if you have any questions.
- When should I apply?
Students should apply for graduation the semester prior to degree/certificate completion and no later than the priority deadline.

- have 10 or fewer required credits remaining at the end of Spring semester
.
- apply by the Spring priority deadline to be included in the commencement program
- What happens if I miss the priority deadline?

- What happens if I miss the Final Application deadline?
Your completion date will be moved to the next semester.

Your transcript will reflect graduation as soon as it has been evaluated.
The Difference between Graduation and Commencement
Graduation
is actually receiving a degree from The College of Southern Idaho. A student is graduated from the college only after completing all degree or program requirements, completing a graduation application, and paying all outstanding fees. It is important to make sure you meet with your program advisor to confirm all requirements are being met.
Commencement
is the graduation ceremony. It is a celebration of accomplishments. Students are not required to walk in the commencement ceremony, nor does
participation guarantee graduation.
For more information: Commencement Ceremony Information.
