The Ohio Northern University Department of Music presents an evening of chamber music in the Snyder Recital Hall in the Presser Building on Monday, Sept. 29, at 8 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

The program will feature Paul Moravec’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Tempest Fantasy for clarinet, violin, cello and piano.

ONU faculty clarinetist Georg Klaas and colleagues will perform a program of 20th- and 21st-entury chamber music. The program will feature Pamela Ashmore, lecturer in the ONU music department, on piano; Rachel Pinkney, lecturer in the ONU music department, on cello; and special guest violinist from the Toledo Symphony, Merwin Siu.

Ohio Northern University’s Freed Center for the Performing Arts will present “The Importance of Being Earnest” from Sept. 25-27 at 7:30 p.m. There also will be two matinee performances on Sept. 27 and 28 at 2 p.m.

Oscar Wilde’s masterpiece “The Importance of Being Earnest” focuses on two bachelor friends, upper-crust dandy Algernon Moncrieff and the most reliable John Worthing J.P., who lead double lives to court the attentions of the desirable Gwendolyn Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. The gallants must then grapple with the uproarious consequences of their ruse and with the formidable Lady Bracknell.
