Seven juniors in the Bluffton University music department will present a recital at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, April 11, in Yoder Recital Hall. The event is free and open to the public.
The junior recital is designed to help students prepare for their senior recitals. A repertoire is chosen by a faculty member in consultation with each student.
Performers include:
Bluffton University bands and choirs will perform in the music department's annual Pops Concert, at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 9, in Founders Hall. The concert is free and open to the public.
Four Bluffton University students are scheduled to compete in the university's annual C. Henry Smith Peace Oratorical Contest, at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 7, in Yoder Recital Hall. The event is free and open to the public.
Participating students give a speech of no more than 10 minutes that applies the Christian peace position to an issue of contemporary concern.
This year's presenters, and their speech titles, are:
Flutist Kristen Shelly, a Bluffton University senior from Penfield, N.Y., won the first Mosiman Young Artist Competition at Bluffton's recent Bach Festival.
A $100 cash prize accompanied the title for Shelly, a sociology major who was also the Audience Choice winner. She was one of three finalists chosen by faculty to perform at the concert that concluded the festival, hosted by the university's music department.
The other finalists were clarinetist Alycia Althaus, a senior from Findlay, and soprano Kristin Beckman, a sophomore from Ottawa.
Spring cleaning can take on new meaning in Bluffton if it includes parting with adult career wear that's still in quality condition.
Clothes fitting that description-if not their current owner's waist or taste-can find a new home through the free, annual clothing swap sponsored in April by Bluffton University's Fashion and Interiors Association (FIA).
