Oberlin Faculty to Perform at Cleveland Museum of Art
Gregory Fulkerson, Professor of Violin, will present two concerts at the Cleveland Museum of Art, one on Wednesday, November 9 and one on Wednesday, November 16, both at 7:30pm, in the museum's galleries. He will be presenting J.S. Bach's Complete Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin.
Acclaimed violinist Gregory Fulkerson has gained an international reputation as a virtuoso performer with a zest for exciting repertoire both old and new. It was as a major exponent of American contemporary repertoire that Fulkerson rose to prominence, winning First Prize in the International American Music Competition sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Kennedy Center. He has since gone on to perform more than 30 concerti with orchestra, under conductors including Riccardo Muti, Robert Spano, Marin Alsop, and others. Fulkerson's recording of the J.S. Bach complete sonatas and partitas for solo violin was hailed by the New Yorker as one of the Best CDs of 2000. His performance of this monumental set of solo works in the museum's galleries is a solo tour de force, split over two evenings.

About Magpie Pizza:
Magpie Pizza is one of Oberlin's newest restaurants, located in the East College Street Project, next to the Alumni Office. Featuring real, fresh, local ingredients in their gourmet pizzas, Magpie has been kind enough to open its doors to the Oberlin Club of Cleveland. The prix-fixe menu will include an individual pizza (choose from a great selection of toppings), side salad, beverage and tax/gratuity. You are welcome to bring your own wine/beer. No corkage fee will be charged.
About The Oberlin Summer Theater Festival:
The Oberlin Summer Theater Festival's 2011 production of A Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry's moving tale of a dream deferred in 1950s Chicago, plays July 8-29, and is directed by Justin Emeka '95, Visiting Assistant Professor of Theater. This classic drama chronicles a black family's ambitious pursuit of a career, a home, love, and the strength to survive in a hostile world. When the Youngers come into a small fortune during hard times, will the unexpected boon bring them closer to their dreams or tear them apart? Both heart-wrenching and heartwarming, the story still finds resonance over fifty years after its premiere.
OSTF is a professional, not-for-profit summer theater company, operating under the auspices of Oberlin College but administered independently of the Theater & Dance Program. The Festival’s Acting Company consists of a combination of professional Equity actors, local non-equity players, and interns (recent alumni and current Oberlin students). They are building a core intergenerational acting ensemble, composed mostly of Oberlin graduates who will return to Oberlin as their summer artistic home to do meaningful work with a supportive community of like-minded professional artists. The company works as a collaborative ensemble to create accessible and bold productions.
Check out more information about the Oberlin Summer Theater Festival (now in its 3rd season) by visiting http://www.oberlin.edu/ostf.
