About the Series

The Performing Arts Series at Ohio Wesleyan University has a long tradition of providing outstanding and entertaining performers for the Ohio Wesleyan and central Ohio communities. The 2008-2009 season continues this legacy with four top-notch events.

The PAS committee believes strongly in the master class philosophy and attempts to schedule as many opportunities for the performers to work with students as possible. Some of the master classes are open to the public, for more information on master classes at Ohio Wesleyan contact the PAS phone messaging service at 740-368-3629.
