AVS 2009 : A MEMORABLE YEAR

It’s hard to believe that 2009 is approaching its end. Sigh…so many memories.  It goes without saying that Audio Visual Services has been very dedicated this year.  Let’s take a moment to recap some of its major accomplishments, shall we: 

* February: AVS hosted a Lincoln Celebration with 150 in attendance for the general public and 550 school children.

* May:  The Hausmann String Quartet entertained about 100 in the auditorium with beautiful arrangements of classical music.

*Throughout the year:  AVS has circulated an astonishing 60,000 items per MONTH…wow!!!! In addition, 54 film programs have been held with a grand total of 3600 people attending…Whew!     

The department of AVS is proud to have carried out so many meaningful services this year.  All programs were free to the public. It is our desire—no –it is our resolve to make 2010 a great year as well!

The Hausmann Quartet at Main Library

Come join us May 5th @ 7 P.M. in the Auditorium at Main Library for a grand performance by the Hausmann Quartet. They will perform the Haydn String Quartet No. 26 in G minor, Op.20 No.3, the Rorem String Quartet no. 4, and the Tchaikovsky String Quartet No. 1 in D major. The Quartet will also perform musical selections to celebrate Cinco de Mayo! Here is an example of their exquisite playing of the 1st movement of Schumann’s String Quartet No. 3. This program is free and open to the public! Parking is free in the High and Market deck after 6pm. Call the Audio Visual Services department at 330-643-9015 if you have any questions.
