the ball just kept rolling. PLU’s University Symphony Orchestra Conductor Jeffrey Bell-Hanson approached Nance about doing the Ninth Symphony with the University Symphony Orchestra, so a third Beethoven performance was added. In addition to Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony choirs will also perform Beethoven’s in C-Major Mass, Opus 86, for the first two performances.

Tegels, organ, and PLU’s Choir of the West directed by Richard Nance. The idea of perspective is explored through two compositional views of the Prodigal’s humility in his return: Debussy with piano, and Arthur Sullivan’s oratorio, performed with organ and Choir of the West. The two versions give the same perspective from different compositional voices. Jim Brown, director, explains the differences. “Sullivan (of Gilbert & Sullivan fame) is a real Victorian era compositional voice. There are moments

Rilke in saying “have patience’s (and) love the questions, and live the questions now, then someday, far in the future, you will…live your way into the answer.” And finally, Anderson addressed the topic of courage. In this topic, he turned to the late Steve Jobs, who noted in his now-famous 2005 Stanford University address that “your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life…Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your inner voice. And most important, have the courage

and who he met. It was a way to deal with it, not just as a form of coping, but also out of a necessity to have his voice heard. Hrivnak was frustrated by what he saw on the news about the war. It didn’t tell the whole story. A ticker would go across the screen stating that 10 U.S. soldiers had been killed that day, but for him it seemed so hollow of an explanation of what had happened.  He knew that the 10 to 1 rule was usually in play, when the dead were listed, which meant for every one killed

Starkovich, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at Pacific Lutheran University.  “We believe our robust, general assembly style of faculty

They test their aspirations and convictions against the ideas, concepts and theories they engage in class. They search out faculty who will converse with them about how what they are learning in their courses connects to who they are becoming. They spend time with mentors who listen as they give voice to their developing senses of themselves and
