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 2011-2012 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, or by e-mail at paseries@owu.edu.

The 2011-2012 Series

	Inlet Dance Theatre Saturday, September 3, 2011 at 8 p.m. Chappelear Drama Center Inlet Dance Theatre is one of the region’s most exciting professional contemporary dance companies dedicated to performing with a high level of quality, skill, innovation and purpose. Inlet utilizes the art form of dance to bring about personal development in the lives of individuals through training and mentoring, and to speak creatively about life and the issues we all face.
	Norman/Greenberg Duo Friday, November 11, 2011 at 8 p.m. Jemison Auditorium Two of the most imaginative and dynamic performers in traditional and early music join forces to present a program that runs the gamut from renaissance, baroque, traditional and original music incorporating flutes, violins, vielles, pipes, keyboards, and voice. David Greenberg has gained the reputation in Cape Breton music circles as being one of the few people from outside the Nova Scotia island to have achieved a fluent command of the Cape Breton idiom. He has been lauded as “one of the most impassioned folk-fiddlers you’ll ever hear” (James Manishen, Winnipeg Free Press).
	The Rose Ensemble Friday, February 3, 2012 at 8 p.m. Gray Chapel “Land of Three Faiths: Music of Mediterranean Jews, Christians and Muslims” The Rose Ensemble reawakens the ancient through imaginative performances of vocal music, connecting each individual to past worlds with stories of spirituality and humanity. Our concerts and workshops preserve and perpetuate centuries of human expression with historical instruments and a vocal sound critics have called “supernatural.” An internationally recognized performance group, The Rose Ensemble honors the musical legacy that has shaped the lives of real people through the ages and across cultures.
	Anthony Zerbe Friday, February 10, 2012 at 8 p.m. Chappelear Drama Center Poet E.E. Cummings turns highbrow to lowbrow in a heartbeat in poetry that captures the beauty of the natural world while skewering the perversity of the human one. Emmy award-winning actor, Anthony Zerbe slides the antic spirit of Cummings’ poetry into smart and witty theatre as he moves pell mell through a parade of characters, accents, and dazzling word play.
