Edmund Battersby Plays for Jasper

Jasper citizens were treated to an astounding performance by master pianist, Edmund Battersby from Bloomington. A graduate of the Juilliard School of Music, Battersby is a professor at Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. This concert previewed his upcoming European tour and doubled as a fund raiser for our Building Expansion project. It was a delightful Saturday afternoon event and paired well with the Elizabethan costume exhibit in the Krempp Gallery.

Naoko Takada, Marimbist

We were delighted to host Naoko Takada, a Young Concert Artist from Japan, this week. Naoka entertained audiences with her wit and lively performance. She conducted a Masterclass for Jasper High School students and performed on our sold-out Backstage performance. What a treat!

Tales and Scales a Big Hit with Schools

Jasper elementary school students were treated to live performances by Tales and Scales, a national touring company. Junkyard Wars was the performance. The kids learned new instruments as well as being treated to a lively performance.

Wow! Elizabethan Costume Exhibit Opens Tomorrow

Our Visual Arts coordinator, Amy Laakman, and several tireless volunteers have been working since yesterday hanging a scrumptious Elizabethan Costume exhibit. These are real costumes on loan from regional theatres. This kicks off Shakespeare month, celebrating the Bard with an exhibit of costumes, theatre design, art lecture and the film, "Much Ado About Nothing." The show will be hung through April 28th. Admission to the gallery is free.
