Tulsa Symphony – Beethoven’s 4th Symphony
January 14, 2017 | 7:30 - 10 p.m.
MENDELSSOHN The Hebrides RAVEL Le tombeau de Couperin RAVEL Tzigane BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 4 Inspiration shows up anywhere and everywhere. Mendelssohn, a lover of nature, found inspiration in the natural acoustics of a sea cave in the InneTur Hebrides of Scotland. The idea for Ravel’s Le tombeau de Couperin came forth on a battlefield in World War I, and his Hungarian musical style of Tzigane, after hearing a private concert of a talented Hungarian violinist. While catching his breath before returning to the heroic struggles of the Fifth Symphony, Beethoven found inspiration for his illuminating Symphony No. 4 while retiring in the country estate of a devoted admirer. Daniel Hege, principal guest conductor Rossitza Jekova-Goza, violin Pre-concert conductor chat begins at 6:30 and student performances at 6:45. All are invited to attend the post-concert reception and meet the musicians and conductor! http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?organ_val=37848&pid=8223419&agency=TULSA_PAC

Guerrilla Marketing Event
March 22, 2017 | 1 p.m.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wednesday, March 22, 2017 FOR MORE INFORMATION: Stephanie Hill, Director of University Relations & Communications Office: 918.495.7337, Mobile: 918.720.5548 eat33@eau33eav33eaw33 Who: Student Branding & Promotions Class What: Guerrilla Marketing Event Where: ORU Campus When: Wednesday, March 22 at 1:15 pm Tulsa, OK - With 1600 unsolicited messages bombarding consumers every day, it takes a unique approach to cut through the clutter and gain attention. Oral Roberts University students are hoping to do just that in an upcoming guerrilla marketing event. Students in ORU’s Branding & Promotions classes will use clothespins to get information out about a non-profit doing work around the world to alleviate poverty. They will clip the clothespins with the non-profits website to unsuspecting students’ book bags or jackets. When they later discover the clothespin, their curiosity will drive them to the website where they will learn about the organization and its cause. The students will learn about Kiva (https://www.kiva.org/), a non-profit that helps connect people who are willing to provide loans to alleviate poverty. Leveraging the internet and a worldwide network of microfinance institutions, Kiva lets individuals provide a $25 business loan to help create opportunity for struggling entrepreneurs around the world. It’s not about giving a donation but about asking others to make a short-term microloan with a 97% chance of repayment. The students will gather their clothespins in the Library Resources Center room 232A on Wednesday, March 22, at 1:15 p.m. and then spread throughout the campus pinning the good news on unwary passersby. The guerrilla marketing is a small part of the overall project strategy, which is to target college students' desire to touch lives and make a difference. Because online presence is key nowadays, the students are posting message updates, pictures and student-produced videos on social media as well. They’ve also conducted surveys and done research to gather insight on public awareness and opinion. They’ll take the results of the guerrilla marketing along with their research and present their ideas to a panel of investors “Shark Tank” style. Those investors will decide which student agency wins the account. ### About Oral Roberts University Oral Roberts University (ORU) is a world-renowned Christian university located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Founded in 1963, ORU serves students from 50 states and 90 countries, representing over 40 denominations.

Remembrance 2000
April 5-27, 2017 | 10 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
The Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art partners with the Tulsa Performing Arts Center to honor the late Michael Knigin and his show, “Remembrance 2000,” in the PAC Gallery during April. Knigin’s exhibit features 25 pieces across a series of images on canvas, all commemorating both dead and living heroes of the Holocaust. Knigin’s art serves as an ongoing reminder of the past and a step toward building a better future. “In my paintings and graphics, I seek to isolate objects and images from their mundane contexts and reorganize them, thereby granting them a new life,” said Knigin. “I select colors, textures and forms that complement the realistic images that I use. The elements reinforce the fact that I am creating something new, not merely replicating nature’s truths.” The gallery is open April 5-27, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and during all Chapman Music Hall events.

Make plans to stop by and see for yourself! Opening night is set for April 6th, 2017 from 5:30 to 8:30pm at Your Design located at 211 S. Main St.; in the heart of the Rose District. There will be live local music, delicious food and wine provided for this event. This annual event is always open to the public and free of charge.

Tulsa Symphony – Brahms’ German Requiem-Featuring Tulsa Oratorio Chorus
April 8, 2017 | 7:30 - 10 p.m.
BRAHMS Ein Deutsches Requiem Tulsa Oratorio Chorus joins Tulsa Symphony on a work that became the central and longest work of Brahms’ career, the German Requiem. Unconvinced of man’s afterlife, Brahms composed this work after the deaths of his beloved friend and fellow composer Robert Schumann and then his own mother. Ein Deutsches Requiem was not intended as a mass for the dead as his contemporaries and earlier composers had written, but instead as a work of consolation for those left behind. James Bagwell, guest conductor Tulsa Oratorio Chorus Pre-concert conductor chat begins at 6:30 and student performances at 6:45. All are invited to attend the post-concert reception and meet the musicians and conductor! http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?organ_val=37848&pid=8223421&agency=TULSA_PAC

Oklahoma Steam Threshing & Gas Engine Association Annual Show
May 5-6, 2017 | 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Be sure and make time this spring to visit Pawnee and help us kick off the second fifty years of the Oklahoma Steam Threshing and Gas Engine Show. Our steam engine display area, as well as the working steam powered exhibits, are always very popular and this year should be no exception. Our featured steam engine will be the 20 Horsepower Keck Gonnerman. In a break from traditionally naming a brand of gas tractor, the “Feature Gas Tractor” will be all steel wheel tractors. This will mean that most of the featured tractors will be pre-1930. Not to be outdone, the “Feature Gas Engine” will be the Maytag line of equipment. Many folks don’t realize that the grandmother to their utility room washer was a gasoline powered work horse that also could churn butter as well as grind meat and make sausage. These features will make for an exciting look at farm life in the first half of the 20th century. As always, there will be 15 to 20 steam traction engines (steam tractors) operating “era correct” machines. Probably the most popular of these is our steam powered saw mill that operates almost nonstop during show hours. This exhibit is complemented by a cedar shingle cutting machine, a woodshop planer and other assorted timber/lumber related machines. Another crowd pleaser is our blacksmith shop, where tools and household items are hand forged from raw steel. Also, we have an early 1900s machine shop, showing how metal working machines similar to today’s were powered by steam engines. In our “Domestic Display”, located in our headquarters building, you will see displays of the items of everyday life used up until around the end of WWII. This is our newest feature and generates a lot of nostalgic thoughts for rural folks, as well as wonder from the younger more urban groups. We also host a flea market, arts and craft area, and a hobby related swap meet. The fun doesn’t stop at dusk. On Friday and Saturday evening (weather permitting) the steam engines put on a “spark show” shooting glowing cinders 50 to 60 feet into the air. As is the tradition with most shows of this type, there will be a bean and cornbread dinner for vendors and exhibitors on Thursday evening. Camping (for exhibitors) is available on the grounds. Hookups are $10 per night for water and electric and $5 for primitive. There is a dump station on the grounds. Spectator and overflow camping is available a short distance away at Pawnee Lake, also for a fee. (50 amp hookups at lake only) Come see us again, or for the very first time, and don’t let the weather bother you. The show goes on rain or shine, with many inside exhibits. For more information our website is: http://www.oklahomathreshers.org May 5th and 6th, 2017 Held at the Steam Park Grounds in Pawnee, Oklahoma (401 East Beck Drive) Gates Open at 8:00 a.m. Adults: $10.00 per day………….2 day pass $15.00 Children 12 and under are free Friday is School Day (school groups accompanied by teachers are admitted free)

Citizens Climate Lobby Tulsa Group Start Workshop
May 6, 2017 | 1 - 4 p.m.
Citizens’ Climate Lobby offering Climate Advocate Training workshop May 6, 2017 in Tulsa, OK Tulsa, OK, April 5, 2017 – The Tulsa Chapter of Citizens’ Climate Lobby is offering a Climate Advocate Training workshop on May 6, 2017 at Rudisill Regional Library. The session is free and will teach citizens the nuts and bolts of building political will and affecting change in positive, constructive ways. Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) has a unique approach of achieving change through building positive, respectful relationships with lawmakers and focusing on specific market-based, consumer-friendly solutions that have received support from conservatives and liberals alike. The workshop will include a mini-lobbying training. Citizens’ Climate Lobby is non-partisan and has an active and growing Conservative Caucus. We are very interested in new conservative members who are concerned about protecting our families and communities from the costs and risks of extreme weather. “Citizens’ Climate Lobby members here in Tulsa and all over the country are telling us that their lives have changed since they have become involved with CCL, “says Leah Sutton, the group leader of the Tulsa chapter. “They tell us they were worried about climate change and were looking for a way to make a difference. They are so grateful that CCL is showing them how and that there is a group of wonderful people working together for the same goal. We want to offer more of our neighbors the same opportunity.” In addition to lobbying, there will be varied roles for volunteers depending on individual interests. All are welcome to attend. Since refreshments will be served at the May 6th meeting, please RSVP to eat48@eau48eav48eaw48 or via our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ccltulsa/.

Tulsa Symphony – Firebird-Featuring Tulsa Oratorio Chorus
May 13, 2017 | 7:30 - 10 p.m.
HAYDN Symphony No. 90 KODALY Háry János Suite STRAVINSKY The Firebird Suite (1945 version) Conducted by Daniel Hege, this program is sure to elicit a smile from seasoned concertgoers and first-timers alike. Haydn’s Symphony No. 90 is not without glimpses into his humorous, prankster side. Influenced by his love for both folk music and for French impressionistic music, Kodaly was able to paint in impressionistic orchestral colors the comedic tale of a Hungarian style Don Quixote in his Háry János Suite. Stravinsky captivates listeners with his ballet music suite The Firebird. Even without the ballet theater, Stravinsky’s music summons the imagination to delight in Russian fairy tales of the magical glowing bird that can be a blessing or a curse to its owner. Daniel Hege, principal guest conductor Pre-concert conductor chat begins at 6:30 and student performances at 6:45. All are invited to attend the post-concert reception and meet the musicians and conductor! http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?organ_val=37848&pid=8223422&agency=TULSA_PAC

Foster Care Informational Meeting
May 17, 2017 | 6 - 7 p.m.
There are about 10,000 children in Oklahoma’s foster care system. On any given day there are 150 children in need of a foster home, which has yet to be found. When a foster home is not available, these children stay in county shelters. In response to the lawsuit that was brought against DHS, the use of county shelters is being phased out. This has created an urgent need for more foster homes in Oklahoma. Circle of Care works to recruit, train, and provide ongoing support to foster parents. We have a contract through DHS to provide these services anywhere in the state.

Something Rotten!
May 23-25, 2017 | 7:30 p.m.
Direct from Broadway, SOMETHING ROTTEN! is a “big, fat hit!” (New York Post). Set in the ‘90s – the 1590s – this hilarious smash tells the story of Nick and Nigel Bottom (Tony® nominee Rob McClure and Broadway’s Josh Grisetti), two brothers who are desperate to write their own hit play while the "rock star" Shakespeare (Tony® nominee Adam Pascal) keeps getting all the hits. When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first MUSICAL! With its heart on its ruffled sleeve and sequins in its soul, SOMETHING ROTTEN! is “The Producers + Spamalot + The Book of Mormon. Squared!” (New York Magazine).

2017 OK Mozart International Music Festival
June 11, 2017 | 2 p.m.
Tulsa Symphony Orchestra (TSO) and Tulsa Children’s Chorus will premiere a new orchestral work by Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate, Chickasaw classical composer, on Sunday, June 11 at the 2017 OK Mozart International Music Festival. The foundation of the newly commissioned piece titled Muscogee Hymn Suite, is from within historic Creek Indian church hymns. Muscogee Hymn Suite is an adaptation and orchestration of traditional Muscogee (Creek) church hymns in the Muscogee (Creek) language. Joining TSO and Tulsa Children’s Chorus will be classical baritone soloist Grant Youngblood and traditional Mvskoke singer Curtis Scott, conducted by Gerhardt Zimmermann. A unique artistic result of European contact is the American Indian church hymn. As missionaries traveled across the early United States into Indian Country, they became one of the first to document Native languages and create translations of the Bible and other Christian texts, including church hymns. This blending of music and language lead to a new series of a hybrid music, composed by tribal citizens. For Southeast American Indians (Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek and Seminole) this beloved hybrid‐style of music is now more than 200 years old with a vast repertoire. American Indian church hymns are unmistakably native and is the third category of traditional Southeast American Indian music, alongside stomp dancing and timeworn folk songs.

THUNDERBOLT Experience Back to School Event at Rogers County Health Department
August 2, 2017 | 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Getting all of the recommended vaccines is one of the most important things a parent can do to protect their child’s health, especially when they are in school or a day care center where disease outbreaks can occur. Whether it’s a baby starting at a new day care facility, a toddler heading to preschool, a student going back to elementary, middle or high school – or even a college freshman – parents should check their child’s vaccine records. “When parents are preparing to send their child off to day care, school or college, it’s the perfect time to ensure he or she is up to date on all recommended and required vaccines,” said Larry Bergner, County Administrative Director. Child care facilities, schools and colleges are highly susceptible to outbreaks of infectious diseases. Children can easily transmit illnesses to one another due to poor hand washing, uncovered coughs, and close contact with many people. When children aren’t vaccinated, they are at increased risk for disease and can spread disease to others in their classrooms and communities. This includes babies too young to be fully vaccinated and people with weakened immune systems due to cancer or other health conditions. The Rogers County Health Department offers all required vaccines for school children and teens 18 years of age and younger at regular immunization clinics to be held on walk-in days-Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. at 2664 N. Hwy 88. Parents of children with private health insurance or SoonerCare health insurance are encouraged to take their children to their regular health care provider or clinic to receive these vaccines. In addition, “look for more information about a big event planned for August 2nd, 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. at the Rogers County Health Department. Fun for everyone and chances to win some great prizes,” said Mr. Bergner. Children attending day care facilities in Oklahoma must be up-to-date for their age with childhood vaccines. A schedule showing the required vaccines is available on the Oklahoma State Department of Health web site at: https://go.usa.gov/xNvzc. Kindergarten Students Children entering kindergarten are due for boosters or second doses of four vaccines: • MMR (measles, mumps and rubella vaccine) • Polio • DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccines) • Varicella (Chicken Pox) The second dose of chickenpox vaccine is recommended, but not required by Oklahoma’s school law. Children who recently moved to Oklahoma may also need hepatitis A vaccination, which is required for students in all grades in Oklahoma. Students need at least one dose of hepatitis A vaccine to start school. A second dose is due six to 18 months later. Grades 7-10 Students in grades seven through 10 are required to have one dose of Tdap vaccine, which protects against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough). Older students are strongly encouraged to receive a dose of Tdap vaccine if they missed it. This is necessary for adolescents and adults so they won’t contract whooping cough and infect babies and toddlers. Parents and teens, both boys and girls, are strongly urged to ask their health care provider for HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine, which prevents several types of cancer. The immune response to the HPV vaccine is better in pre-teens and can mean better protection for teens. New guidelines for completion of the HPV vaccine series is now only two doses separated by 6 – 12 months if the first dose is given before the child’s 15th birthday. The meningococcal vaccine (MCV4) is also important for adolescent and teen health. The MCV4 vaccine protects against the devastating effects of bacteria that cause meningitis or a life-threatening bloodstream infection. Meningococcal disease is relatively rare, but if contracted, can cause death in less than 48 hours and leave those who survive with life-long problems such as brain damage or limb amputation. HPV and MCV4 are recommended for all kids at 11-12 years of age with a booster of MCV4 at age 16. The meningococcal vaccine is required for first-time college students who will live in on-campus student housing. College students are also required to have MMR and hepatitis B vaccines. For more information about immunizations, call the Rogers County Health Department at 918-341-3166 or contact your health care provider.

Tulsa Pop Kids Inc. was created in 2017 to provide support within our community specifically to promote literacy programs for children through Pop Culture and entertainment. All proceeds raised during the Tulsa Pop Culture Expo will help our efforts in promoting that cause including providing comics to local elementary schools and to the children in St. Francis Medical Centers. Celebrity Guest Announced So Far: Catherine Hicks - Catherine appeared in several high profile films through the early 1980s, in leading and supporting roles whilst also appearing on television. Films included: Death Valley (1982), Garbo Talks (1984), The Razor's Edge (1984) and Peggy Sue Got Married (1986). She played "Dr. Gillian Taylor", opposite lead actor William - Shatner, in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986), a cult sequel to the popular Star Trek films. In the late 1980s, she played the lead role of "Karen Barclay" in Child's Play (1988), a film that remains highly regarded in the horror genre. It was on the set of this film that Catherine met her future husband, Kevin Yagher, with whom she had a daughter in 1992. Despite her obvious talent, big movie roles never seemed to find their way to her in the early 1990s. In spite of this, she worked consistently, appearing in Liebestraum (1991), Dillinger and Capone (1995), the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie Redwood Curtain (1995), and a small role in the semi-high profile movie, Turbulence (1997). In 1996, she landed the lead role in the Warner Bros. television series, 7th Heaven (1996), playing "Annie Jackson-Camden". From that point on, her career revolved around the television series and her family, occasionally appearing in films. Her last to-date film was the television movie, For All Time (2000), opposite Mark Harmon. 7th Heaven (1996) was canceled in 2007, after a successful eleven-year run, but it is likely that this attractive and talented actress will remain in films and television for a long time to come. Chase Masterson - Chase Masterson is perhaps best known as sexy casino girl “Leeta” on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) and “Ivy Lief” on General Hospital (1963), as well as being the featured guest star in the first Emmy Award-winning episode of ER (1994). Masterson was named one of the “Hot Leading Ladies” of Film in 2008 by “Film Fetish”, one of the world’s “50 Sexiest Women” by “Femme Fatales Magazine”, the “#1 Favorite Science Fiction Actress on Television” in a “TV Guide” online readers’ poll, and one of the “Top 20 People to Watch in Hollywood” by “Sci-Fi Universe Magazine”. She was also named “Best Feature Film Producer” by the LA Femme Film Festival for her work on Yesterday Was a Lie (2008). Justin Nimmo - Justin Nimmo is an American actor who is best known for his role as Zhane in Power Rangers in Space. He was born in Lexington, Oklahoma and currently resides in Purcell, Oklahoma. Nimmo's film appearances range from American Indian Graffiti, The Cabin, Dude, Where’s My Car, and Pleasantville. He has also appeared on television in Power Rangers in Space and Saved by the Bell. Currently Nimmo is a small business owner in Purcell, OK. John Anderson - John Anderson is an actor, comedian, and self-proclaimed professional "Trick Talking Meat" who hails from Birmingham, Alabama. He landed his first major motion picture role as a Ravager in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. John also appeared in Sleepy Hollow, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Case for Christ, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, MacGyver, Being Mary Jane, and Tyler Perry's Too Close to Home. He will appear in a number of television shows and movies premiering later this year, and most recently appeared in Make-up Artist Magazine, displaying his alien movie make-up as a Hurctarian Ravager. Tom Waite - Tom Waite is a Hollywood actor and stuntman. His acting credits include roles in such films as: The Amazing Spiderman, Rage, Ride Along and All Nighter (2017). His TV roles include: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alias, Castle, and Supergirl. Along with doing his own stunts in such films and TV shows as: Pirates of the Caribbean, Snow White and the Huntsman, The Last Airbender, CHUCK, CSI Miami, and Training Day, he has been the stuntman for some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Bradley Cooper, Jake Gyllenhaal, Nicolas Cage, Bill Paxton, and recently Alan Tudyk on the TV show Powerless.
