Celebrate the differences among us at DePauwpalooza, Friday from 5:30--6:30 p.m. The annual fall festival in Bowman Park has expanded this year to include not only music but spoken word. In moments between musical performances, favorite poems and readings that amplify the value and the act of "Listening for Difference" will be offered as a prelude to the DePauw Dialogue on Sept. 28. A variety of work and genres are on the program, which includes members of the DePauw community reading poems by Rita Dove from her book "On the Bus with Rosa Parks" as the University Band performs "A Movement for Rosa" by composer Mark Camphouse.

Free pizza and refreshments will be provided.

DePauw University Choirs

Green Center, Great Hall

The DePauw Choirs, directed by Kristina Boerger, presents "Follow You, Follow Me: An Interactive Circle" exploring the use of canons ("rounds") for gathering communities and as generators of harmony and polyrhythm. Audience members will be invited to participate in music from Elizabethan, Early American and contemporary times. Dufay's "Gloria ad modum tubae" will prove that the Medievals could "swing"; Benjamin Yarmolinsky's Rounds will present several whimsical or contemplative texts; Britten's "Hymn to Saint Cecilia" will showcase virtuosic chamber singing; and Brahms will prove that the most formal musical architecture can seem to unfold like a spontaneous outpouring of love.
