Bach’s famous Solo Cello Suites are a standard amongst cellists across the world and have been for many generations. Composers often look to these pieces for inspiration to write new, self-accompanying music for solo instruments. Olivia will present a sampling from the original cello suites, as well as some more contemporary examples of Bach’s influence. The program is free, but reservations are recommended by registering online at www.ormaco.org<http://www.ormaco.org> or calling 419-853-6016. Seating is on a first-come basis.

Ugly Duckling makes a beautiful ballet
by Julie Gilliland 01 Feb '24

01 Feb '24

Beck Center For The Arts Produces Beautiful The Ugly Duckling Ballet Beck Center for the Arts<http://www.beckcenter.org> is excited to stage the upcoming Dance Education Production, The Ugly Duckling.<https://www.beckcenter.org/events> Choreographed by Associate Director of Dance Education Melanie Szucs, this piece includes 65 students in the cast, ages seven to18. This hour-long ballet production is perfect for adults and children of all ages and is filled with colorful costumes and sets. This production is the traditional telling of The Ugly Duckling through Dance. The dancers portray farm animals (and other animals such as bees, butterflies, frogs, ladybugs, and birds) as well as two farmers. In addition, there are dancing flowers, golden leaves, and snowflakes to symbolize the changing seasons as the young swan matures and finds her place in the world. Visit our "farm" and experience this tale told through movement. The lead of the Ugly Duckling is being danced by Lakewood High School Senior Meredith Barcelona. She studies multiple dance disciplines at Beck Center and plans to continue her training as a dance major in college. Melanie Szucs says, "Ugly Duckling is a retelling of the Hans Christian Anderson fairytale in dance where a little gray cygnet raised by a mother duck matures into a beautiful, graceful swan, and discovers acceptance and happiness. The classic story reminds us not to judge others by how they look."
