September 2, 2011, Greencastle, Ind. — In an effort to ensure that DePauw students, faculty and
staff, and Greencastle community members have priority access, tickets will be
required for admission to the September 29 Yo-Yo Ma lecture at DePauw University.
This event had been previously announced as open to all on a first-come,
first-served basis. The lecture ticket availability is a response to
overwhelming demand for Yo-Yo Ma's September 30 concert (which sold out
almost immediately).
Yo-Yo Ma will be the featured artist of "DePauw Discourse 2011: Empowering Society Through the Arts," scheduled to take place September 29 - October 1. Joined by DePauw University alumni and other distinguished guests, Yo-Yo Ma will lead a celebration of the arts while exploring their vital community role in sparking creativity, innovation, self-expression and dialogue.
The lecture, "Reflections on a Life in Music: An Evening with Yo-Yo Ma," will take place on Thursday, September 29, at 8 p.m. in Kresge Auditorium, located within DePauw's Judson and Joyce Green Center for the Performing Arts (605 S. College Avenue).
A limited number of tickets for the lecture will be available as follows:
- DePauw students may pick up one ticket (must present ID to receive and use ticket) on September 5 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (or until supplies are depleted) in the DePauw School of Music office (Green Center for the Performing Arts, room 1124).
- Faculty and staff can pick up tickets on September 6 from noon to 4 p.m. (or when the allotment is gone) in the SOM office; limit 2 per person, ID required.
