The 2022 Gilmore Young Artist Clayton Stephenson performed in Robison hall on Saturday, Oct. 8. His electric performance brought down the house, granting him a standing ovation during the intermission break. Sonata No. 4 in F-sharp Major, Op. 30 was a highlight, wherein Stephenson encouraged audience members to associate colors with the music being played. The composer Alexander Scriabin had synesthesia, a condition where sounds and colors are closely associated. Overall, Stephenson put on a great show, and Middlebury would be lucky to host him again in the future.

This summer, Middlebury implemented a new compensation system for staff that seeks to promote “ownership and impact” for employees.

After spending the early years of his career known only for playing a severely underdeveloped supporting character in Disney’s fleet of modern “Star Wars” films, Englishman John Boyega has finally received his proper introduction as an actor. It comes in “Breaking,” the debut feature from director Abi Damaris Corbin that tells the heartbreaking true story of Lance Corporal Brian Brown-Easley. In 2017, the 33-year-old African American Marine veteran held up an Atlanta bank to protest Veterans Affairs’ failure to pay him the disability check he needed to survive. Boyega is powerful in his portrayal of Brown-Easley, at once channeling the crazed recklessness of Al Pacino in Sidney Lumet’s “Dog Day Afternoon” and evoking sympathy for a good man driven to criminality by a society that refuses to care for him. But for all the merits of his performance, “Breaking” is not Boyega’s movie, nor Corbin’s, nor any of the other impressive actors or crew. Rather, it belongs to the men and women who served the United States overseas only to be forgotten upon returning home, especially those — like Brown-Easley — whose fight to be heard is further beaten down by racism.
