  • January 28th, 2011 WESTERN CAROLINIAN ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT WCU student to present his original one man show Katelyn Cooper, Staff Writer Western Carolina Univer- sity sophomore Jonathan Co- brda will present his original one-man show Sweet N Low: The True Story of One Diabetics Journey to Keep Spirits High and Sugars Low at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 30 in the Fine and Perform- ing Arts Center, Cobrda, a graduate of the Weaver Academy for Per- forming and Visual Arts and Advanced Technology in Greensboro, wrote his one- man dramedy with Scott Icenhower. He has been per- forming this show around the country for two years now in conjunction with JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) in order to raise awareness about the disease. The show illustrates Co- . brdas own experience with Type 1 diabetes from his di- agnosis at the age of 12 up till now. Peter Savage, a perfor- mance instructor at WCU, says Cobrda believes the educational atmosphere .of | WCU is the perfect place. to spread his advocacy. We hope to not only have a large turnout from campus but also from the broader community of Western North Carolina as diabetes and the issues associated with it af- fects us all, said Savage. An initiative of WCUs Quality Enhancement Plan sponsored: by the Office of the Provost and the Office for Undergraduate Studies, Sweet N Low is more than just a show; it also is an in- terdisciplinary learning event focusing on health and well- ness, community outreach, research and creative schol- arship, service learning and advocacy, said Glenda Hens- ley of WCUs Office For Un- dergraduate Studies. Jn addition to such obvi- ously related academic areas as health professions, diet and nutrition, and physical fitness, issues of health and wellness also can be exam- ined from perspectives such as political science, business and finance, communication, the sciences, philosophy and the arts, Hensley said. As students explore knowledge and concepts that are relevant to daily lives, they engage their academic and personal lives, she said. Approaching the conversa- tion about health and living well from these different perspectives is empowering to all who choose to Pee pate. The university? S Quality Enhancement Plan, or QEP, is designed to enhance the educational experience of students with thematic and interdisciplinary learning op- portunities. The QEP theme, Synthesis: A Pathway to Intentional. Learning, . was designed to help students cre- ate connections between what they learn inside and outside of the classroom and to give faculty, staff and students more opportunities to col- laborate. Sweet *N Low will co- ineide with a Scholarship Fair ain the lobby of FPAC where a variety of WCU programs, students, and faculty will present research and class projects that tie mto not only Diabetes but also the general health and well-being of our. student body and campus community. _ The scholarship fair will begin at 2 p.m. in the FPAC lobby. The cost is $5 for ev- eryone with all the proceeds to benefit the Juvenile Dia- betes Research Foundation. Tickets are available through the FAPAC box office, by calling 828-227-2479, or on- line at fapac.weu.edu. . : Johnathan Cobrda ; : : Ae WCU to host debut performance of Singer John Davidson to do newest addition to School of Music show in Cullowhee on F eb. 24 PHOTO SUBMITTED | K Western Carolina University School of Music faculty say goodbye to the Steinway piano being retired at WCU and prepare to wiveil a new grand piano on Feb. 15. From Staff Reports The Western Carolina University School of Music will host the debut appear- ance of the newest star to join its roster of acclaimed music-makers in a special concert Tuesday, Feb. 15. The star in question is a recently obtained instru- ment made by acclaimed manufacturer Steinway & Sons, widely regarded for crafting the finest pianos in the world. The nine-foot D concert grand piano is replacing an older Steinway model that has been provid- ing musical accompaniment for music faculty, student and ensemble recitals for the past 34 years. In fact, the new Stein- way is the first new piano of any kind for the School of Music in more than 23 years, said P. Bradley Ul- rich, professor of music. The concert, to begin at 7:30 p.m. in the recital hall of WCUs Coulter Build- ing, will launch an effort by the School of Music to. earn designation as an All- Steinway School, said Ul- rich, one of the concert or- ganizers. We are hoping this will be the first of many new pia- nos in the School of Music . as we hope to someday be- come the first All-Steinway School in the University of North Carolina system. This would truly be a mark of distinction, said Ulrich, As the name implies, in- Stitutions are designated as All-Steinway Schools for using only pianos designed _ by Steinway & Sons, from the practice room to the recital hall. For WCU, the designation would entail replacing approximately 50 pianos with Steinways or models from the Steinway line. The Feb. 15 concert, titled Steinway Our Way, will. feature a variety of musical styles with WCU faculty pianists Andrew Adams, Bradley Martin and: Pavel Wlosok as_ soloists and in combination with in- strumental and vocal faculty members. The concert will show- case the various sounds the piano is capable of creating, in addition to sounds created. in combination with other jnstruments, Ulrich said. This will be an exciting night for our school and we hope many from the com- munity will attend and hear our newest addition to our miusical family. At the conclusion. of the concert, audience members will be encouraged to come to the stage to view the new instrument and ask ques- tions of faculty members. Tickets for the event are $15 for the general pub- lic and $5 for students. Proceeds will. benefit the Steinway Piano Fund and help the School of Music in its goal of becoming an All-Steinway School, said Robert Kehrberg, dean of the College of Fine and Per- forming Arts. Our faculty and stu- dents provide more than 250 cultural events annually through concerts, master classes and engagement ac- tivities within the communi- ties they serve, and they de- serve the finest instrument available, Kehrberg. said. The faculty have interna- tional professional creden- tials and work as perform- ing artists within the region, across the state and nation- ally. They are the finest mu- sicians I have ever worked with.
