10 Year Reunion

Hello Fellow Titans!
Kelly (Goodpaster) here. I’m working with Adriane Powell, the Director of IWU’s Office of Alumni Engagement to start spreading the word and also build a committee to help develop some class activities during Homecoming this fall. In four months (September 30-October 2) the festivities will be in full swing! It’s been 10 years, so why not head back to Bloomington, check out campus and see all the changes since we graduated? Campus is looking beautiful these days and the fact that you can no longer drive down Beecher Street between Magill Hall and CNS and CLA is still a little weird to me.

We know there will be a jam-packed schedule of activities throughout the weekend and the purpose of our committee is to offer a few opportunities where we can come together as a class to share memories and catch up with each other.

If you’re interested in helping us put some plans together please email me at kelly.goodpaster@gmail.com so we can get some things going. We need support from classmates both local to Bloomington-Normal and outside the area. Even if you’re not sure you’ll be at Homecoming, we can still use your skills ahead of time!

Please spread the word, and I hope to see many of you back at IWU September 30 – October 2 for the 2016 IWU Homecoming activities!

Alumni Collaborate for Chicago Musical Event

Chicago-based composer Eric Malmquist ’07 premiered his work Blemish’d Muse May 13, 2016 at a concert with several connections to other Illinois Wesleyan School of Music alumni. Malmquist’s work Blemish’d Muse was commissioned by the Wicker Park Choral Singers and was presented by the vocal group and the Chicago Composers Orchestra. Wicker Park Choral Singers (WPCS) was founded in 2008 by Mark Tomasino ’06, who serves as artistic director.

Tomasino founded WPCS two years after graduating from IWU because he was in search of a post-collegiate choral community. A member of the Collegiate Choir while a student at IWU, he has programmed and directed over 50 WPCS performances in the Chicagoland area. With WPCS he has made multiple television and radio appearances, including the final season of The Oprah Winfrey Show. WPCS was the subject of an IWU Magazine story in 2010.
