Lee Trepanier, If Music Be Food For Citizenship
"One of purposes of education, perhaps its primary one, is the cultivation of intellectual and moral excellence of citizens who, in turn, will promote an improved political regime. In other words, the regime exists for the education of its citizens instead of education existing for the sake of the regime."

The regime is the ordering of the members of a community to the common good. So in that sense it is for the sake of those members, but the end of the regime should not be understood as the many private goods of the individuals.

In the area this weekend: the Tallis Scholars.

Cal Performances

$26 for UCB students, $47 for non-UCB students. Did they perform in Berkeley when I was there for undergrad? What a missed opportunity if so... I don't think I'll be able to go this year.

Tomás Luis de Victoria is the focus of the two performances.

The timing is off, but since it was recently uploaded onto Youtube, I decided to post it now rather than later.

Cal Performances

website

I was looking through the brochure for the new season, and discovered that the Tallis Scholars (March 28) and Le Concert des Nations w/Jordi Savall (Feb. 27-8), Yo-Yo Ma (May 15) and Cecilia Bartoli (Feb. 22), will be coming to Berkeley.

But tickets cost $52 for the early music performances! Unbelievable! For the BEMF one can get student rush tickets for $20 or less!!! I suppose Cal thinks it can charge the rich people and not-so-rich students in the area those kind of prices and still pack the house. (And they are probably right.)

Eh, would I purchase a Cal Alumni Association membership just to get the alumni discount? Edit. At least there is a discount for non-UCB students.
