Fine and performing arts credit breakdown

Alright gang, let’s talk classes. (I know, I know. Boooooring. But important.) As many of you probably know, the UNH Discovery Program requires you to take classes in many different disciplines, guaranteeing that your course of study here is interesting, dynamic and well-rounded. One of these required classes is a course in Fine and Performing Arts. For a lot of people, this might sound scary, but these courses span across several departments and, if you look hard enough, there’s a Fine and Performing Arts credit for everyone. Check out some of your options below, excerpted from the UNH course search, or check out the full list online.

Durham based band hits Portsmouth’s Thirsty Moose

On Thursday night at the Thirsty Moose Tap Room in Portsmouth, the Durham based band Barefoot Young brought a diverse audience their mix of hip-hop, funk, reggae. Downstairs, in a red-lit room filled with both college-aged fans and older bar patrons, the beer and  bass-lines flowed alike. The genre-bending, groove heavy band consisting of UNH students Derek Bolivar, Matt James, Mark Delgrosso, Ben Taylor, and Ian Howard recently brought their sound back to the Seacoast after playing in New York and look forward to upcoming shows in Boston. After opening for the funk duo Jig & Funk twice before, the bill was swapped on Thursday night.
