The Ashland University Department of Music has announced its Spring Guest Artist Series to begin March 20. The series will include a blues combo, a jazz trio, a string quartet and a chamber music group.
All events are free and open to the public.
On April 3, the Chip Stevens Trio will visit Ashland for a concert co-sponsored by Ashland's Big Bands and All That Jazz Society. The Brutini String Quartet is next on the schedule. In its third year of existence, the quartet has performed in master classes for members of the Guarneri, the Tokyo, and the Juilliard Quartets. In May 1998, it was awarded third prize in the Senior Division of the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition. Schag is remembered for his involvement in the AU musical theatre group Drop of a Hat Players and other organizations within the Department of Music.
