Though this issue will be last of the semester for The Preface, campus remains alive and bustling all the way up to the winter break. Here is a look at the performances and events available to students in the month of December.
Music students will perform in “A Grand Night for Singing” over five nights this week. The performances will feature the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein plays, such as “Oklahoma” and “The Sound of Music.”
8 p.m. Wed., Dec. 2, through Sat., Dec. 5, and 2 p.m. Sun., Dec. 6. $5 to $9. Upstage Theater in Northside Hall.
Those students graduating with a bachelor of fine arts degree at the end of this semester must participate in the BFA Student Exhibition in the Art Gallery of the Education and Arts Building. They will give a reception and gallery talk from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Thurs., Dec. 3, at no charge to those who attend.

The Euclid Quartet is the Raclin School of the Arts’ resident quartet. They will perform at the Ruthmere Mansion in Elkhart at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 10 as part of the R&R Series. Though off campus, this event has a long history with IU South Bend, specifically the Raclin School of the Arts. R&R stands for Ruthmere and Raclin.
7 p.m. Thur., Dec. 10. $5 to $10. The Ruthmere Mansion, Elkhart.
Bring a teddy bear to this concert and you won’t be paying for your ticket. In exchange for the bear you get performances from the choirs of IU South Bend, the IUSB Kick Line and the IUSB Jazz Ensemble. The appropriately named annual Teddy Bear Concert took in 600 teddy bears last year. Each bear goes to a family in need to provide presents for the holidays.
7 p.m. Fri., Dec. 11. $7 to $12. Campus Auditorium in Northside Hall.
