Music Plus

Wed, Dec 3, 2025 7pm

Moore Musical Arts Center, Kelly Rehearsal Hall

Music Plus is a longstanding partnership between the BGSU College of Musical Arts and Toledo Public Schools (TPS). For 10 weeks, on Wednesday evenings in the fall and spring semesters, approximately 30 TPS students travel to the Bowling Green campus for free supplemental music instruction. The evenings are segmented into private lessons taught by BGSU undergraduate and graduate students, ensembles led by a graduate student or a faculty member and other musical activities. This past fall included a piano lab taught by a graduate student; other semesters have included composition. The program culminates in a public performance in Bryan Recital Hall with the TPS students playing alongside BGSU students. In the spring, they often perform short pieces composed by students in the Music Plus program.

The choice of music was eclectic and wonderful. Baroque is a favorite period, and I have added some new composers to the playlist.
Also enjoyed the the instrument combination. The bassoon was delightful and the trombone made us smile. The harpsichord , well , masterfully done. Lovely ensembles.
Ms. Misses is to be commended for her choice of music, her gathering of musicians and her musicality, she created a very happy and beautiful evening to be treasured.

Wish it was not so difficult for mere human beings to get information about this series. NOBODY knows about it, and I have labored mightily to figure out the system. Somebody needs to juice up the outreach.

Great job!

This was such a wonderful recital. I'm glad it was so well-attended. It was an especial treat to hear the Brahms trio - you don't get to hear chamber music like that all the time. It was beautiful, and you could tell the musicians really enjoyed sharing it with us.

This was wonderful and I deeply appreciate the BGSU brought a Caribbean artist to campus.

The pieces that were presented were wonderful and the performers were great! The background on the series and spoken pieces were also very insightful.

So good

Wonderful. You don't often see performers taking risks like these.

The concert was a delightful educational experience. I'm now a fan of Apollo's Fire!

Delightful! Couldn’t have been happier! Watching professional musicians do their thing to make the beautiful even better is just plain fun! Thank you for the opportunity.

Enjoyed Puppet performance but Sha Sha. As a friend said afterwards, “what did we just see?” Not sure, but it was beautiful, moving and engaging.
