Asian Student Association hosts karaoke night

Friday nights are always busy at Mount Holyoke, and last week was no exception. Among the many events taking place on campus was an intimate open mic held by the Asian Students Association (ASA). Art 220 was lit with tea lights and the classroom chalkboards decorated with intricate drawings. Soda, chips and Pocky (a sweet Japanese snack) were served and a group of people were animatedly searching through Youtube to find the first song of the night — “How Far I’ll Go” from “Moana” was the winner.

Pratt Music Hall was filled with musical reverie on Sunday afternoon as pianists Dana Muller and Gary Steigerwalt delighted audiences with a showcase of their talent. The husband-wife team have been playing a four-hand and duo-piano repertoire for over three decades, traveling internationally to perform. Steigerwalt, a Mount Holyoke College professor Emeritus,  and Muller were welcomed to campus by a large audience who was eager to hear their masterful musicality.

Critically acclaimed Asian American contemporary playwright Chay Yew’s two-act documentary play, “Question 27, Question 28,” opened Mount Holyoke’s theatre arts spring season. The reading illuminated the stories of Japanese Americans who were victims of forced removal and evacuation on the West Coast in the 1940s under the orders of President Roosevelt.
