Nicolas Maffey ’13 has the unique distinction of being one of the only professionally trained circus artists on campus. Maffey, along with a band consisting of singer Patrick J. Wicker ’13, guitarist Kelly S. Robinson ’13, drummer Corey N. Rosenberg ’13, and violinist Kathy Ran ’13, compose the Ethereals. Maffey will be performing circus hand-balancing routines, while the band will cover Adele’s rendition of the Cure’s song, “Lovesong.” According to Maffey, having a live band makes the performance more collaborative. “You’re not performing by yourself…if I happen to need three extra seconds, they can adjust their music to finish with me. We’re constantly in sync,” Maffey says.
