News Coverage of Jesuit Music, Stage & Film, and Visual Arts

Over the past two years there has been a transition in the Arts Department from the old monicker "Jesuit Theater" to "Jesuit Stage and Film." Along with the change in name came a vast change in funding, funding that led to the purchase of elite film shooting and editing equipment as well as an upgrade in space. The film...
In the school’s first year of offering an organized film class, Jesuit also introduced an inaugural film festival. Few people expected such high quality films and judges as the ones that were attracted. However, the judges’ task was far from easy. Not only did they have to whittle down a group of 74 films to 21 for presentation at the...
As some of the unsung heroes of the Masses at Jesuit, Men's Chorus members, along with practicing on many mornings and afternoons every week, arrive early in the morning, one Friday out of every month to help get the ball rolling before the Mass.

However, while perusing through the art on the Jesuit campus or reading the Monthly Art Focus, one may falsely...
Most concert bands practice months to put on a performance, but the Texas Private School Music Educators' Association (TPSMEA) All-State Band is not like most bands. It's a collection of some of the state's most talented high school musicians, and it lasts only a short 3 days. This year, seven Jesuit students attended the All-State weekend. In November, they...
