Percussionist to teach class on campus
LILY GRANT

Robert van Sice is a talented professional percussionist and marimba player who will briefly join the University to teach a public master class. The class will be held at the Spencer Museum of Art in front of Sol LeWitt's "Wall Drawing 519" from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
Van Sice will be on campus Saturday and Sunday to teach percussion students. On Sunday he will give a lecture on minimalism in art and percussion music.
"Minimalism is an aesthetic which I perform inside of," van Sice said.
Van Sice has played the
marimba his entire life and spends much of his time touring, recording and teaching. He has taught more than 400 master classes in 25 countries. He currently teaches at the Yale School of Music and the John Hopkins Peabody Institute. Recently, he was invited to teach at the Curtis Institute of Music.
Van Sice is a prominent figure in both the American and European percussion world. He performed the first full-length solo marimba recital at Amsterdam's Concertgebouw in 1989. He also taught at the Rotterdam Conservatorium and Darmstäder Ferienkurse.
If there's one thing van Sice wants his students to learn
from him, it's that "the truth in all of music-making is only found in the sound itself"
Van Sice said he believes great musicians are simply those who learn to have a deep contact with sound, and sound only.
Ji Hye Jung is a percussion professor at the University and one of van Sice's former students.
"It'll be really special for me and special for my students to work with him," Jung said.
Van Sice said he considers it a privilege to come teach at the University and regards Jung as one of the best students he has taught in his entire life.
"grand-students". because they are the students of his past students.
Van Sice calls Kansas percussion students his
"To be able to work with students of my students is always precious to me," van Sice said.
After the master class is complete, van Sice wants the University's percussion students to know that "purity and truth in music-making is the way to go."
The University's percussion department is collaborating with the Spencer Museum of Art for the event.
Amy Duke, the museum's public programs and visitor experience manager, is partly responsible for bringing van Sice to the University. The museum will be closing for
renovations soon, and Duke wanted to do something special before that happens.
Duke and Jung hope that van Sice will provide insight on parallels between minimalist art and minimalist music.
"I think it's something we don't do enough — making a connection between different aspects of music and art," Jung said.

Van Sice said he is excited to arrive in Lawrence and thinks it's the "quintessential perfect college town, full of smart people doing a lot of amazing and probing things, and the honor is mine."

Zayn Malik leaves One Direction after five years
"My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined," Malik's statement read. "But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band. I'd like to apologise to the fans if I've let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart. I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight."
The post also included a statement from the band itself and its creator, Simon Cowell. Both expressed their sorrow at seeing Malik leave, but expressed hope for the future.
Twitter erupted yesterday and teenage hearts broke across the world as One Direction became a band of four. Zayn Malik, a founding member of the band, announced on the band's official Facebook page that he was leaving the group after five years.
In the statement, Malik apologized to his fans and said he will remain close friends with the remaining members of the band — Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Niall Horan.
"The four of us will now continue," the band's statement read. "We're looking forward to recording the new album and seeing all the fans on the next stage of the world tour."
Cowell, who first formed the band in the 2010 season
of "The X-Factor," also thanked Malik for his contributions to the band.
"I would like to say thank you to Zayn for everything he has done for One Direction," Cowell wrote. "Since I first met Zayn in 2010, I have grown very, very fond—and immensely proud."
— of him. I have seen him grow in confidence and I am truly sorry to see him leave."
truly sorry to see him miss Malik's announcement comes after he bowed out of the group's world tour earlier this month due to stress, Billboard reported. Before that announcement, Malik had come under fire from fans for a tabloid photo that showed him with a woman not his fiancée.
Malik denied any wrongdoing, tweeting on March 18, "I'm 22 years old... I
love a girl named Perrie Edwards. And there's a lot of jealous f***s in the world I'm sorry for what it looks like x."
As for his leaving the band, Twitter responded with multiple trending topics, including "#AlwaysInOurHeartsZaynMalik," "Where is Zayn," "Two Directions," and "8 Directions."
One Direction's worldwide tour continues on, despite the hole in the band. Although distraught "Directioners" were devastated by the news, Malik held out hope for his former bandmates.
"I know they will continue to be the best band in the world," he wrote.

NEW YORK — A radiant masterpiece by Pablo Picasso from the 1950s will lead an auction in May where it could top $140 million.
"Women of Algiers (Version O)" will be offered at Christie's on May 11.
The vibrantly colorful 1955 painting features a scantily attired female in the foreground amid a jumble of smaller female nudes. The central figure is Picasso's muse Jacqueline Roque, who became his second wife in 1961.
The oil on canvas was part of a 15-work series Picasso created between 1954 and 1955 that was inspired by "Women of Algiers in their

The hefty pre-sale estimate hovers near the current record for any artwork sold at auction, held by Francis Bacon's triptych "Three Studies of Lucian Freud." It sold at Christie's for $142.4 million in 2013.
Christie's did not reveal the seller, but said the collector acquired the painting in 1997 for $31.9 million when Christie's sold the collection of noted New York collectors Victor and Sally Ganz, who at one time owned all 15 works in the series.
Apartment" by Eugene Delacroix, an 1834 work Picasso greatly admired that hangs in the Louvre in Paris.
"One can arguably say that this is the single most important painting by Picasso to remain in private
hands," said Olivier Camu, Christie's deputy chairman of impressionist and modern art.
The work has been in several major museum retrospectives in the 1950s and 1960s. More recently it appeared in exhibitions at the National Gallery in London, the Louvre in Paris and the Tate Britain.
"Women of Algiers (Version O)" will be offered with a group of two dozen other blue chip works created between 1902 and the end of the 20th century in a stand-alone sale called "Looking Forward to the Past."
In May 2010, Christie's set an auction record for any work by Picasso when it sold his 1932 painting "Nude, Green Leave and Bust" of his mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter for $106.5 million.
