Rollins Performing Arts Offers Something for Everyone This Fall Season

The lineup of cultural entertainment offered by Arts at Rollins this fall has never been more diverse and exciting.  In addition to popular, show-stopping productions, concerts and recitals, the Rollins College Departments of Music and Theatre and Dance are continuing their tradition of involving members of the Rollins community in talk-backs and master classes to complete a vibrant educational environment. 

This season, Music at Rollins has invited numerous artists of renown to campus to share the gift of their music with students, faculty, staff, and members of the surrounding community.  On October 6 and 7, distinguished American pianist Ann Schein will perform a piano recital and teach a master class to students. 

"It is an honor having Ann Schein at Rollins," said John Sinclair, chair of the Rollins Department of Music. "She is one of the greatest American pianists of our time."

October 13 marks the return of the Music at Rollins Jazz Series with a performance by jazz vocalist Michelle Mailhot.  “Mailhot is an extraordinary singer with incredible range and style,” said Charles Archard, Jazz Artist-in-Residence at Rollins.  “She will be performing Jazz standards as well as her unique versions of contemporary tunes.”  The second installment will take place on October 28 and 29 with a master class and performance by premier jazz pianist Michael Wofford and distinguished jazz flutist Holly Hofmann.  Jazz legend Benny Golson once described Wofford as “quintessential. He is the essence of a jazz pianist in his purest and most concentrated form.”
