Willson, a tenured professor of music at the university, has traveled to Vienna, Austria, and to the Piano Academy in Recanati, Italy, to perform. He is also known throughout the region for his “Encounters with Beethoven†performances.
Tickets for the recital are $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and alumni, and $5 for students and children under 12. Tickets may be purchased at music.georgefox.edu or by calling the school’s box office at 503-554-3844.

Willson will perform the Beethoven pieces German Dance #1, Sonata Op. #31 #3 and Sonata Op. 27 #2, ‘Moonlight.’ He will perform on the university’s Bösendorfer Imperial Grand Piano, often called the “Rolls Royce of Pianos,†he said.

George Fox theatre’s spring show opens next week! Come see the premiere of The Broken, a play written by director Rhett Luedtke and various GFU students.
The process of creating and writing The Broken began in October with a group of nine students under Rhett’s direction. They started with the image of a fortified, barbed-wire fence in a foreign country with a middle-aged Bible translator standing on one side of the fence with a machete in his hand and, on the other side, a native of the country also wielding a machete.
Based on some true stories of missions work in Papua New Guinea, the show has come full circle after more than 400 hours of work and will culminate in a world premiere that includes 30-plus students as actors, designers, consultants, stage managers and tech crew members under Rhett’s direction.
Play Synopsis: The Broken follows the intersecting stories of four individuals in Papua New Guinea as they navigate the sometimes conflicting beliefs and ideals of the Western and native cultures in the country.
Come for a time of thought-provoking theatre and explore questions of modern ideology in third-world culture.
Show Dates: The show runs April 12-14 and April 19-21 at 7:30 p.m. and April 22 at 2 p.m. in Wood-Mar Auditorium. Tickets can be purchased online at theatre.georgefox.edu or by calling 503-554-3844. University employees each get one complimentary ticket for the performance of their choice, and George Fox students each get one complimentary ticket for either of the Thursday night performances. Comp tickets can be picked up at the box office.
Note: The box office is now located on the first floor of the Stevens Center at the information desk. Box office hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Online tickets can be purchased at any time.
How would you like to simultaneously contribute to the arts and see an exciting new show for free? My name is Susan Carlson, and Jenn Lippert and I are the house managers for the upcoming main-stage play The Broken. We still need ushers.

April is here already, so it is time to think about nominating a colleague for April’s Employee of the Month award for 2012. If you know of someone whose recent contributions make him or her worthy of this honor, please take a few minutes to send an e-mail to Peggy Kilburg that includes a specific summary of the person’s contributions (past 30 days or so) and any other information that you believe makes this person deserving of this award.
The winner will be recognized and awarded a $100 gift card to The Allison at our community meeting on April 24. (March’s winner will be recognized at our April 5 community meeting.)
