Tarleton State University Department of Fine Arts is celebrating the beginning of the holiday season with a special performance by the Moscow Ballet touring company.
The program, also sponsored by Tarleton Student Programming Association and the Cross Timbers Fine Arts Council, will be at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 19, in the Clyde H. Wells Fine Arts Center Auditorium.
The company will perform selections from several well-known ballets - "Swan Lake," "Sleeping Beauty," "Romeo and Juliet," "Nutcracker" and "Shaharazad."
General admission tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the Fine Arts Center box office or from the Cross Timbers Family Council. Ticket sales begin Monday, Nov. 2 and will be sold on a first-come first-served basis.
The music of Appalachia, Ireland and the Balkans will take center stage on Nov. 16 at Tarleton State University.
The Texas Tech University Celtic Ensemble will present a concert at 7:30 p.m. in the Clyde H. Wells Fine Arts Center Theater.
The program, which is suitable for all ages, spans the Celtic world, including Breton and English dances, the choral and solo song of the Anglo-Appalachian Sacred Harp and ballad traditions and instrumental dance tunes.
Under the direction of Dr. Christopher Smith, the Celtic ensemble consists of 15 to 19 musicians (winds, strings, percussion and voice) that perform dance, music and song of seven Celtic nations.
Ensemble members will give a master class to Tarleton students, who will be invited to sit in with the ensemble to learn and sample tunes and create arrangements.
Admission to the performance is free. For more information, call the box office at (254) 968-9634.
Tarleton's dining provider, Sodexo, has teamed with Helping Hands of America to facilitate a food drive to benefit local individuals and families. Tarleton's catering van will be parked in front of the dining hall the week of Nov. 9-13, with the goal to "Fill the Van" with canned and other non-perishable food items to help those in need.
"The food collected will be sent to H.O.P.E, Inc. of Stephenville," said Kimberly Miller, operations manager of Tarleton's dining services. "The drive is part of a nationwide effort to stop hunger on the local level."
Community members, Tarleton students and employees interested in contributing food items are asked to stop by the dining hall located directly behind the Barry B. Thompson Student Center on the corner of Lillian and Vanderbilt streets. The van is parked in front of the facility and open for donations.
Participants who donate five items on the night of Nov. 10 will receive a free rib eye steak with the cost of a regular meal. Items must be non-perishable and within their expiration date.
