Belhaven College has finalized the events schedule for the spring semester 2007. Highlights from the Theatre department include performances of Shadowlands (2/15-24), and Antigone (4/19-28), while the Music department will continue it's "Evening of Diamonds" series , with performances by Dr. Andrew Mark Sauerwein (1/16) and a performance of Claude Bolling's "Two Sonatas for Two Pianists" by Dr. and Mrs. Sachs (3/6). Vocal performances for the semester will be highlighted by Dr. Christopher Shelt's faculty recital (3/24), and conclude with "Belhaven on Broadway" (4/28). The Dance department will continue to showcase it's work with an Ensemble Spring Concert (3/29-31) and the ever-popular Doxa Student Showcase (4/26, 27). The Visual Arts will be represented with showcase galleries including Senior Project Exhibitions (3/29-4/13 and 4/17-5/4) and a Student Photography Exhibition (2/1-24).

It's that time of year again, so get out your coat, cap, and mittens, and get ready to enjoy the 74th edition of the Singing Christmas Tree! Mrs. Carolyn Sachs, this year's Director of the Singing Christmas Tree, is in full gear, ready to make this year's performance the best yet!
We are adding "Carol of the Bells" to the tree performance this year. It is a beautiful secular carol with great imagery of the season. It was added by student request. Each year, participants suggest carols they wish to add to the program, and note which carols seem least effective (those are the ones we omit). Since our staging area is in the basement of the Bitsy Irby VDAC Building, we will process from there to the tree structure. Our hope is to have lighted candles to add to the beauty of the procession. Members of the Belhaven Wind Ensemble will play during the procession and loading of the tree. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to get all the singers onto the tree structure and the lights passed along all the rows.
As the week for rehearsals grows closer, I am always filled with the fear of oversights; are the robes ready? Are the gloves clean? Is there enough tinsel? Will we have enthusiastic participants? And I expect as in previous years, my fears will be completely erased at the first rehearsal when so many energetic students come ready to sing and have fun. Every participating student does one job to help make the Singing Christmas Tree possible; moving equipment, arranging robes, folding costumes, preparing candles, monitoring stairs. With everyone taking a role, all details are covered and no one is overloaded with responsibilities.
Our soloist at the top of the tree this year is Josh Black, a sophomore from Louisville, MS. Seniors have first choice of standing on the top rows to throw snow and play the sleigh bells. Several faculty join us also: Dr. Shelt, Dr. Sachs, and Dr. Sauerwein are all Tree veterans. Our accompanist this year is Mrs. Ruth Keyes, staff accompanist for the Music Deaprtment.
It is an honor to direct this gift from Belhaven College to the Jackson community. Much work is involved in this event, from Security, Campus Operations staff, Housekeeping, and Music. I sense the joy and excitement that Mignon Caldwell must have felt in directing the first Singing Christmas Tree 74 years ago. To be part of such a lasting tradition, to bring pleasure to so many people through music and lights, to create lasting memories for students is a privilege. For many Jackson families, this is the traditional start of the season. And I get Merry Christmas!
This year's edition of the Singing Christmas tree will no doubt be one of the best thus far, so get your blankets and lawn chairs, warm up the hot cocoa, and come out and experience "The Tree!"
The Singing Christmas Tree will be at the Soccer Bowl on Friday and Saturday night, Dec. 1 & 2, beginning at 7:30pm.
Belhaven College's Associate Chair of the Visual Arts Department and Dean of the Honors College, Dr. Melissa Hause, is set to receive the 2006 Humanities Teacher Award for 2006, as awarded by the Mississippi Humanities Council.

"Between Matter and Spirit"
"Dr. Hause is the prime example of an intellectual who has given her life to higher education, but with a heart to mentor her students with the intensity of a counselor, said Dr. Dan Fredericks, Provost of Belhaven College. Her breadth of knowledge not only in the arts, but in the humanities at large, makes her a fine representative of Belhaven's depth in intellectual inquiry and profound worldview conclusions."
Dr. Melissa Hause teaches art history, aesthetics, the art component of the worldview curriculum, and the Honors Colloquium. After graduating from Belhaven College with a B.A. in art, she went on to study at Emory University in Atlanta. There she received her M.A. in art history and her Ph.D. from Emory's interdisciplinary Institute of the Liberal Arts. From 1991 to 2000, Dr. Hause lived in Germany, where she studied art history at the Philipps-Universitaet in Marburg and worked as an art and architectural translator and editor. Her published translations include Picasso: The Sculptures by Werner Spies and The Prints of Barnett Newman by Gabriele Schor as well as contributions to major exhibition catalogues such as Cezanne: Finished / Unfinished and Bill Traylor 1854-1949: Deep Blues.

October 19, 2006 - On October 19 and 20, the Biology department will host a very important seminar entitled "Christianity & Scientific Revolution: Historical Perspectives on Current Challenges," featuring Dr. Charles Thaxton, the President of the Konos Connection. These lectures will deal with the historical factors which gave birth to modern science. Dr. Thaxton will show that conditions leading to the birth of modern science also led to a renewal of faith, with mutually beneficial influences. He will also examine the need for science to emerge from the limitations which secularism has placed on it and how successes in the past can help the present Intelligent Design movement.
"Dr. Thaxton is an international speaker, who has held lectures in Prague, London, etc.," commented Dr. Al Chestnut, chair of the Biology department. "Current science rejects Christianity as a valid starting point for scientific inquiry, yet the fact is that modern science was birthed out of Christian foundations by men who saw God as creator and sustainer of the universe and living systems. These seminars will give us an eye-opening look into this debate. In addition, the intelligent design movement (using reason, logic, probability to show the flaws of macroevolution) was to a large degree fatheredâ by Dr. Thaxton, so we can look forward to much insight on this topic as well."
Dr. Thaxton has a Ph.D. in physical chemistry and has done post-doctoral work in the history of science and in molecular biology. He is co-author of The Mystery of Life's Origin and The Soul of Science and has contributed significant chapters to the books God and Culture, The Creation Hypothesis, and Finding God at Harvard.
He was chairman of the historic Tacoma Conference on "Information Content in DNA" in 1988, that proved to be a precursor to the intelligent design movement. Dr. Thaxton was also chairman and organizer of the first conference on intelligent design in Europe, "Darwin and Design: A Challenge for 21st Century Science," October 2005, Prague.
This two-day seminar series presents a grand opportunity to learn more about our uniqueness as creation in the eyes of our Creator. It also offers to us as believers a unique opportunity to reach out to those in our community who may not be Christians, and to offer them a perhaps new view on life, its beginnings, and its purpose.
The lectures will start at 6pm on both Thursday and Friday nights, in the Concert Hall of the Center for the Arts., with a book signing and reception immediately following. Admission is free. For more information, please contact Dr. Waltzer at 601 968-5962 or rwaltzer@belhaven.edu.
October 17, 2006 - This month, Belhaven will add to its reputation of being home to the finest venues and biggest festivals for the arts as the 5th annual Mississippi Guitar Festival returns to its place of origin.
The festival will present lectures and masterclasses intended to challenge and expand students knowledge of the guitar, as well as give them an opportunity to compete with one another for the possibility of a cash prize. "It is our desire to provide a festival program which will simultaneously be challenging to the aspiring professional and accessible to the serious amateur," comments Mr. Barry Hause, Instructor of Guitar and Humanities here at Belhaven and the Director of this year's festival.
The Festival began in 2002 at the suggestion of Dr. Miroslav Loncar of William Carey University. "The idea was to have a regional festival that players of all levels and backgrounds could enjoy, and that would challenge and expand the participants knowledge of the guitar," said Mr. Hause. Over the past 5 years, the festival has grown to be sponsored by not only Belhaven and William Carey, but Hinds Community College, Mississippi State University, and the University of Southern Mississippi.
Each festival brings with it a keynote performer who is usually very prominent in the world of guitar, and this years could not be any bigger. Mr. Adam Holzman, the world-renowned classical guitarist, will give two performances, and will be teaching a masterclass for the participants. Mr. Holzman has given performances in places such as the prestigious Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, distinguished New York venues, as well as in music festivals from Miami to San Francisco, Boston to New Orleans. His extensive international performances have taken him throughout Europe, Canada, Mexico, Central and Latin America.
Mr. Holzman is founder of the Guitar Department at the University of Texas at Austin where, in addition to his active performing career, he heads a thriving guitar studio. His students have won an array of international prizes. From 1992-1994 Mr. Holzman held the title of Maestro Extraordinari given by the Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon, Monterrey, Mexico. This year Mr. Holzman has been featured on the covers of both Classical Guitar Magazine and Guitar Magazine. "Adam represents the cutting edge of classical guitar at a world level," commented Mr. Hause. "His talent is of the caliber that will captivate and amaze anyone.
This year's Festival is sure to be a huge success, both in the Jackson community and in the Mississippi area. "The theme of this years festival is Building a Musical Community. It is my conviction that music belongs not exclusively to the professional, trained musician but to serious amateurs and passionate fans," said Mr. Hause. This will no doubt be one of the best performers to have a concert at the Center for the Arts, so make plans now to come out and here some of the finest talent on the guitar that your ears have ever heard.
The Festival will take place on October 18-19, with Mr. Holzman performance taking place at 7:30pm on the 18th in the Concert Hall of the enter for the Arts. For more information on the Festival, please email bhause@belhaven.edu. For more information on the performance, please call 601.974.6494.

October 3, 2006 - Sometimes, tradition is the only thing we have left to comfort us. For Russian Jews at the turn of the twentieth century, generations of tradition were the only certainty in life. Amid persecution and hatred they sought refuge in the values of their small communities.
Belhaven College's production of Fiddler on the Roof tells the often forgotten story of Russian Jews forced into exile by Czar Nicholas II. As the peasant Tevye (played by Haddon McKinney) struggles to cope with "shtetl" life, the community around him grows in unexpected and unwanted ways. The universal struggle of any community of people is to maintain cultural heritage while living and working in an ever changing world.
Based on the folk tales by Sholom Aleichem, Fiddler on the Roof is a fun but meaningful look at society and how we relate to one another. When persecuted, when faced with hard times, faith becomes an even more important part of our lives. Faith comforts and consoles. Faith sustains.
Fiddler will be playing at Belhaven November 8-11; at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for adults and may be purchased by calling the box office at 601-965-7026 or email boxoffice@belhaven.edu
