Summary: Calvin College's Hekman Library will be the site tonight for some
soothing end-of-the-semester music for harried students.

Calvin College students in the midst of writing semester-ending term papers
and studying for final exams will find a soothing musical treat at the
college's Hekman Library on Thursday, May 3.
That day, from 8 to 9:30 pm, a number of campus musicians will present a free
concert for students right in the library, on the second floor near a wall of
windows that looks out onto the Commons green in the center of campus.
Music faculty members Cal Stapert, Lisa Walhout, Linda Hoisington and other
friends will present a casual concert designed to be a study break for
students, but open to all who wish to enjoy Renaissance dances for recorder and
harpsichord as well as sung madrigals for two- and three-part voices.
The idea began with Calvin librarian Kathy DeMey who thought Calvin students
would appreciate a musical interlude in the midst of the semester-ending
hubbub.
"I think students will find it relaxing," she says. "The recorders have a
soothing sound and the harpsichord also is gently muted. However, we're also
doing a dance set which is very lively."
The Hekman Library staff at Calvin has been very intentional in recent years
about giving Calvin students many reasons to visit its five floors. Among
other things, Hekman, the second-biggest private college library in the state
of Michigan, held its third annual Frisbee Golf Tournament in February 2007.
