Richard Zeller, one of America’s foremost baritones, will join with music professor and Bösendorfer Educational Artist Kenn Willson to perform at the university’s Bösendorfer Concert Series at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 12, in Bauman Auditorium.

Zeller, a 1983 George Fox graduate, is known for his sonorous dramatic voice, a compelling stage presence and musicianship. His opera engagements have included 12 seasons at the Metropolitan Opera and dates at opera houses around the world.

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.

Zeller will sing a selection of pieces that include works by Johannes Brahms (Botshaft, Wie Melodien Zieht es Mir), Richard Strauss (Allerseelen, Morgen), Robert MacGimsey (Land of Degradation, Sweet Little Jesus Boy), and Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II (Some Enchanted Evening).

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.

Just login to the Housing Form and then click on the “Housing Group Signups” link on the left side. This will take you to the page where you can find your housing code. One person from each group will then fill out the remainder of the form using codes from the other individuals in the group. Once housing codes have been entered and roommate choices confirmed you will be asked to rank the order of your housing preferences.

If you are not part of a group you can still go through the housing process as an individual. In this case, rather than being placed by your credit ranking, we will work with you to identify a suitable spot in campus housing.
