Northwest Ohio Vocal Arts, directed by Kevin S. Foster '97
Program Title: "Inspired By..."
To celebrate homecoming weekend at Ohio Wesleyan University, NOVA Ensemble presents "Inspired By...", a journey of choral music through the ages, from the Renaissance to the present. Drawing on personal stories and memories of his musical studies at OWU, artistic director Kevin S. Foster ('97) pulls on threads of inspiration, first woven by the generous and talented faculty at Ohio Wesleyan during formative years of his educational journey. There will certainly be something - some spark of inspiration - that we all can relate to in this evening of exquisite a cappella choral music.
