LSC-Tomball Fine Arts has been awarded a Humanities Texas mini-grant for an interdisciplinary project entitled Music’s Passion and History’s Pull: Gounod’s Romeo and Juliette.
Music’s Passion and History’s Pull: Charles Gounod’s Romeo and Juliette began as an idea among LSC-Tomball’s Fine Arts, Honors College, Center for International Studies, and English Department faculty. Shakespeare’s England, 19th century France, and Renaissance Italy – the themes of family, power, and society – use of language and rhetorical analysis – an exploration of related music from Broadway and American musical theater to France in the 1850s: these are elements connected through the spring 2017 project.
Campus and community are invited to explore music, literature, history, and make interdisciplinary connections at LSC-Tomball! Grant related events are as follows:
- Music Rehearsal Hall (E252) 2pm – April 3 – Lecture/Discussion: “Deconstructing Romeo and Juliet: The Language of Romantic Love” featuring Dr. Bo Rollins and Prof. Ava Veselis, LSC-Tomball English Department, Honors College

INAUGURAL CONDUCTING WORKSHOP at LSC-Tomball
On March 25, LSC-Tomball Music hosted a Conducting Workshop with Maestro Brad Bouley in Beckendorf Conference Center. Six brave conductors from schools and organizations around the area (Tomball to Aldine) were mentored by the extraordinary Maestro Bouley as Conducting Fellows. In the afternoon singers from LSC-Tomball Concert Choir, Texas Master Chorale, and community gathered to provide a “live” conductor’s choir. Repertoire included: “For Unto Us Is Born”, “And the Glory of the Lord” (both from Messiah) and Ola Gjeilo’s setting of “Ubi Caritas.” It was a productive day - many thanks to Maestro Brad Bouley and all who participated!
