The Rodeheaver Series for the Performing Arts announced the following events for the coming season:
Marilyn Sexton Mason, organist, Sept. 16, 2 p.m. - First United Methodist Church folks know Marilyn from her visits as guest organist on Sunday mornings, but she is also a well-traveled concert artist, whose repertoire includes a wide variety of truly enjoyable pipe organ music.
The Indianapolis Opera Ensemble presents: Don Giovanni, Jan. 27, 2 p.m. - A semi-staged, condensed version of Mozart's 1887 dark comedy about a roguish nobleman and the women he pursues. Featuring excerpts from the opera sung in English, the story is woven together by narration presented by the opera's characters.
The Huntington Brass, April 20, 2 p.m. - Comprised of faculty and students from Huntington University, this brass choir performs frequently throughout northern Indiana, bringing the exciting world of brass chamber music to its audiences.
The Rodeheaver Series for the Performing Arts was established in 1990 to support and foster performing arts and artists in a manner which brings glory to God. The Series is named for the Rodeheaver family, legendary for their development and support of Christian music, and long-time members of the First United Methodist Church of Warsaw.
The Rodeheaver Series has sponsored more than 55 concerts, recitals and theatrical presentations to date.
All programs sponsored by the Rodeheaver Series for the Performing Arts are free of charge and are presented for the enjoyment and cultural nourishment of all the area's residents. Goodwill offerings will be accepted. Additionally, all programs of the Rodeheaver Series are held at the First United Methodist Church of Warsaw at 179 S. Indiana St. downtown, and are accessible to the physically challenged via ramp or elevator.
