THE PATH AND OLE ARTS

MAY 4–6Veteran Director/Choreographer/Media Artist Stephan Koplowitz will create a site-specific, immersive performance event using the town of Northfield, Minnesota, as its canvas and subject matter. Comprised of a series of interlaced performances of theater, dance, visual installations, and digital media, this performance event will be inspired by the history, architecture, and unique community of Northfield. Koplowitz is excited to work and collaborate with St. Olaf and Carleton Colleges and the greater Northfield community. Tickets available at: NorthfieldArtsGuild.org starting on February 1.

APRIL 22The Path is an evening-length oratorio based on texts from the Pali Canon, the most ancient Buddhist scriptures. The world premier will be April 22, 2018, at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, featuring performances by over 300 musicians including the St. Olaf Choir, St. Olaf Orchestra, Chapel Choir, and soloists Tracey Engleman, Tammy Hensrud, and Alan Dunbar. Ticket information at stolf.edu/tickets or call 612-371-5656.

Join us after the performance for Ole Arts – an evening of exploration of careers in the arts, and connecting with St. Olaf alumni, parents, and friends of the college working in careers in Arts Management, Dance, Education, Literary Arts, Music, Theater, Therapies, and Visual Arts. This event is a place where inspired conversation and connecting can occur among Oles past and present.

*This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
