Celebrated mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne returns to Oberlin to work with voice students and lead several master classes.

Part of the Artist Recital Series, program pairs the famed Canadian singer with fellow countryman-pianist Michael McMahon.

Program includes Jonathan Harvey's Bird Concerto, a rare dalliance with electronic sounds for Oppens.

Oberlin’s history of embodying leadership and empathy in times of political and social turmoil makes the title of the upcoming traveling exhibit, Courage and Compassion, especially fitting.

Punch Brothers, the virtuosic bluegrass ensemble fronted by mandolin player Chris Thile and including Oberlin alum Chris Eldridge ’04 on guitar, will open the 2017-18 Artist Recital Series on September 28.

Founded at Oberlin in 1996, Chicago-based sextet is widely acclaimed for its innovative programming.

Honor comes amid a two-year residency made possible by Oberlin alumnus Ed Helms ’96.

Annual residency, made possible by philanthropist Stephen Rubin, includes private study with students, master classes, and a celebration of Horne’s career.
