Ithaca College

Renowned writers will pair with Ithaca College students to present poetry, fiction, and music of celebration on Saturday, November 4, as part of “Circle of Fifths: Words and Music in Celebration of the 125th.” The event begins at 2:00 p.m. in Ford Hall in the James J. Whalen Center for Music.

For some, celebration may be the joy of winning, for some it may be the gratitude of survival, and for some it may be the power of freedom. No matter the definition, the celebration will prove harmonious.

This event will be moderated by A. Van Jordan, Poet; Robert Hayden Collegiate Professor, University of Michigan; Distinguished Visiting Professor, Ithaca College, and will feature the work of five writers: Julia Alvarez, Michael Collier, Mitchell S. Jackson, Akhil Sharma, and Crystal Williams.

“Circle of Fifths: Words and Music in Celebration of the 125th” is offered as part of the celebration of the inauguration of Shirley M. Collado, the ninth president of Ithaca College.
