May Day weekend is a Bluffton University tradition with events dating back a century, including a theatrical production that ultimately became the May Day musical.
Beginning with May Day 1915, early theater productions at Bluffton featured Shakespeare “on the green.” Musicals were introduced in the ‘50s, notes Dr. Melissa Friesen, professor of theatre and communication.
Vocalist Ashley Musgrave will present her Bluffton University junior recital at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 26, in Yoder Recital Hall. The recital is free and open to the public.
Musgrave, a mezzo-soprano from Ada, Ohio, will sing numbers by Mozart, Ravel, Brahms and Bach, accompanied by pianist Ana Yoder Coulter. In addition, Dr. Lucia Unrau, a professor and chair of music at Bluffton, will perform “Letting Go,” Musgrave’s composition for piano.
Three chamber ensembles will join the Bluffton University Concert Band to present a spring instrumental concert at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 25, in Yoder Recital Hall. The concert is free and open to the public.
Dr. Roy Couch, visiting assistant professor of music, conducts the Concert Band and coaches the brass quintet that will perform as well. Also on the program are a saxophone quartet and a flute ensemble, both coached by Dr. Adam Schattschneider, professor of music.
Bluffton University has announced its 2014 May Day court, which was elected by the student body and will be honored during the annual May Day celebration at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 3, on the Centennial Hall lawn.
The court includes King Jared Horstman and Queen Lindsay Krohn, both seniors, along with senior escorts Derrick Baksa and Jordan McFarland, senior attendants Tamara Al-Sammarraie and Rachel Duncan, and junior chairpersons Joe Schaer and Sara Klenke.
