CU Gala will benefit Campbellsville String Academy

The Campbellsville University Orchestra, conducted by Dr. J. Robert Gaddis and Wansoo Cho, will present a concert at 6pmET/5pmCT, Saturday, February 25, 2011, in the Ransdell Chapel, 401 N. Hoskins AV, Campbellsville, KY. Following the concert there will be a gala, an evening of dinner and ballroom dancing accompanied by live music in the Student Activities Center at 106 University DR, Campbellsville, KY.

The event is a fundraiser for the newly forming Campbellsville String Academy, an organization committed to providing string education for school-age children in Campbellsville and the surrounding area. Tickets for the event are $50 per person and are available by calling the School of Music at (270) 789-5237. Tickets must be reserved by February 7, 2011.



Juliana Moura, an instructor in voice at CU, said the original idea was just a concert to feature the music staff in a formal gala event. However, it quickly evolved into something bigger.

"We realized that the string department was working to start a string academy for the community," Moura said. "The department is looking to raise $10,000 to start the program so we came up with the idea to use the gala concert as a way of helping them to raise the money."

"We have never had any event like this around here," Moura said. "This could be a great way to start a tradition." News from Campbellsville University
