By Student Media Freelancer Aram Zucker-Scharff, GMU Event Roundup
This weekend's biggest event is EarthFest, but that's not the only music on campus for the next three days. As the semester comes to an end, you have the opportunity to hear some of Mason's finest music majors and their professors perform in their student recitals. Look below to see the ones on-campus. While on the subject of student creations: don't forget the Uber Film Festival, on the Cinema Series this weekend.

- Candid Yak [Lit] - 8 to 10 p.m. @ Prose House, Fairfax - Normally I wouldn't line up an off-campus event, but Prose House isn't too far, and I am a sucker for literary events. Candid Yak is the student reading series for Mason's MFA Creative Writing students. If you have the time to check it out, it should be a good time.
