Coming Soon: Health Fair Week
|
Set in early 20th century Vienna, La Ronde is a provocative piece dealing with sex and the social classes. Written by Arthur Schnitzler, an Austrian playwright who was a contemporary of Sigmund Freud and adapted by John Barton for the Royal Shakespeare Company, La Ronde concerns 10 characters who are all connected through a series of rendezvous, some scandalous. The characters, five men and five women, are from various walks of life, such as the military, domestic service and the bourgeoisie. Characters enchant, cajole, exploit and maneuver one another in a series of surprising encounters. 
The Texas Wesleyan University Alumni Association cordially invites you to attend the Medal Dinner Awards Ceremony at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16, at the Fort Worth Club. A reception begins at 6 p.m. This year's honorees include:

Wesleyan Plays a Stellar Role in 9/11 Commemorative Concert
Wooley tells The Flame more about the event: "The program presented music representing Fort Worth’s seven sister cities, and was climaxed by the world premiere of Cantus Septembri, a choral work especially commissioned for the concert last year, but held over to this year in order to give it adequate preparation." The anthem for chorus, piano, trumpet, flute, and percussion was composed by Samuel Douglas, professor of music theory and composition at the University. of South Carolina, using lyrics written by Wooley. "Jerome M. Bierschenk, director of choral studies at Texas Wesleyan, prepared the Wesleyan Singers to perform the work in cooperation with the Texas Christian University Concert Chorale, and also played trumpet for the performance. Jessica Koebbe, adjunct instructor, and Lori Dunn provided accompaniment on the two concert grand pianos, and Maria Harman, adjunct instructor, played the flute accompaniment. A TCU percussionist, Michael Dooley, performed on tympani and various other percussive instruments, and Ronald Shirey of the TCU faculty conducted the premiere. The audience was warmly appreciative of the outstanding performance of this moving work. "To conclude the concert, Bierschenk also conducted the singing of “Let There Be Peace On Earth” by the combined choirs and audience, accompanied by a two-piano arrangement prepared by Koebbe. Sister Cities sends a grateful salute to our Texas Wesleyan colleagues for their outstanding contribution to this important cultural event." |
