An International Cooper Violinist at Oberlin College

The 2015 International Cooper Violin competition at Oberlin College is over and we had to say goodbye to a super competitor and girl extraordinaire Maya Buchanan from Rapid City, South Dakota.

Maya is just 14 years old and has been playing the violin since the age of 3 and is now an Academy Fellow at the Music Institute of Chicago where she  goes every weekend for instruction. She is the youngest first prize winner in the history of the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra Young Musician  Concerto Competition. She is also the co-winner of the 2013 Walgreens National Concerto Junior Strings Competition, the second-place winner of the 2014 Music Teachers National Association Junior Performance Competition and the 2015 Junior Strings National Finalist. She has also been featured on NPR's From the Top.

At the Cooper competition here in Oberlin Maya placed 6th out of 21 contestants but she is number one with the guests here at Hallauer House. The video that I shot of Maya's Cooper performance would not upload to this Blog so I've placed a link to the YouTube video of Maya's 2014 performance at the Waxman Carmen Fantasie with Ottawa Chamber Symphony. Enjoy!

As we say goodbye to Maya we wish her well as she continues her studies and goes forth to perform outstanding music on the violin. In 2017 she hopes to return to Oberlin to complete in the next International Cooper Violin competition and we do hope that she comes back to Hallauer House.

A Lively Conversation: Liberal and Conservative

Need something to do on Tuesday, March 7, 2012? Then come to Oberlin for a lively conversation between 2 columnists - the liberal, Jonathan Alter, a former editor at  Newsweek and now at Bloomberg View and author of the book 2010 book, "The Promise: President Obama, Year One," and conservative Ross Douthat from the New York Times. He wrote the book "Grand New Party: How Republicans Can Win the Working Class and Save the American Dream" (Doubleday, 2008). It should be a very interesting exchange of views! The conversation takes place at 7:30 P.M. at Finney Chapel at Oberlin College. It is FREE and open to the public. Get ready!

Tommy Flowers in Oberlin!

Okay, so you ask, who is Tommy Flowers and why is he in Oberlin and why should I care!  

"Where Has Tommy Flowers Gone" is the new production coming to Hall Auditorium at Oberlin College this week. You should care because it is a hilarious flash back to the 60s "now-generation." It is made up as a series of vignettes, and skits that portray the life and attitude of  Tommy Flowers who is an irrepressible cut-up, determined freeloader, and disenchanted rebel against society. In the course of his adventures he befriends a destitute old actor, acquires an over-sized sheep dog (his best friend), and finds love with a beautiful music student (whom he meets in the ladies' room at Bloomingdale's). But as Tommy moves from scene to scene, his bright red shopping bag at the ready for pilfering and his agile wit poised to hoodwink everyone in sight, we also glimpse the root causes of his alienation, from a complaining mother; to an unhappily married brother; to a former girlfriend who has settled for a suffocating domesticity; and to more rejection than acceptance. In the end, betrayed yet again, but still buoyantly defiant, Tommy devises his final rip off! To find out what that rip-off is, you will have to attend the performance! So make plans now for a quick get-away! Come to Oberlin early, explore our town, do some Christmas shopping, have dinner at one of our fine restaurants, take in the play, and then spend the night at Hallauer House B & B! We'll keep the holiday lights on for you! Give us a call! You know you want to!


Dates for the Production:


Thursday, December 8, 2011, 8:00 P.M.
Friday, December 9, 2011, 8:00 P.M.
Saturday, December 10, 2011, 8:00 P.M.


Tickets:   $8.00 for general public, $6.00 for Seniors. All tickets $3.00 more at the door so call early or book on line. Phone: 440-775-8169 or 800-371-0178

Big 'Wacky' Parade

There is a lot going on in Oberlin this month and tomorrow, Saturday, is the kick off that begins with the 10th annual Big Parade! It evolved on a whim 10 years ago as a form of self expression without any centralized organization. Individuals and organizations were free to express themselves as they saw fit and it has been a way for Oberlin College students and the Oberlin community to work together on a common goal. Planning and preparation began months ago and all 'floats' will be presented tomorrow as they progress from Eastwood Elementary school to Tappan Square. The Oberlin High School band will lead the way and the Kendal at Oberlin Precision  Lawn Chair Drill Team usaually brings up the rear. Rumor has it that there will be a 30 foot, incredible dragon float, and characters from the movie 'Up.' The parade will begin at 12:00 noon and go down College St., ending with a community festival at Tappan Square with lots of music and perhaps some food! If you haven't seen one of our 'wacky' parades then you are in for a real treat. Come on over and join in the fun! Hope to see you there! The parade goes on, rain or shine! The pictures are from past parades so you can get an idea what to expect!

College visits and auditions can be very stressful on both parents and students alike but here at Hallauer House you will find a small, quiet place to relax, talk with other visiting parents and students, enjoy a great breakfast, and get a restful nights sleep. We hope to see you soon and if your child chooses Oberlin College, we hope to see you back over the next 4 years! Good luck!

A Bartered Bride?

A bartered bride? Does that wet your appetite?

Well "The Bartered Bride" is the opera being performed this weekend at Oberlin College. It is a comic opera in three acts and was written by Bedřich Smetana, and is set in a small Czech town where a rich peasant couple (can you really be rich and a peasant at the same time?)has bequeathed their daughter to an extreme and elegantly dressed guy who is really stuck on himself. Now Marzenka, the daughter, is really in love with Jenik so Jenik sets out to prove his love for Marzenka and what transpires is some clever tricks and lots of miscommunication. There are traditional folk dances, authentic costumes, opera music with with a libretto by Karel Sabina, and a message of true love winning out above all odds.

Performance times are as follows:

Wednesday, November 17, 2010, 8 p.m.
Friday, November 19, 2010, 8 p.m.
Saturday, November 20, 2010, 8 p.m.

And if you are already booked with us this weekend, you might really enjoy seeing a really great Oberlin College opera.

Another Great Production in Oberlin!

In an earlier post I mentioned that there will be a lot going on in Oberlin this month. First off, since the weather is cold and snowy, you still have time to visit the down town and see the three ice sculptures that were done on Saturday during the Ice Fest.

They may still be around for this weekend when you come to see the upcoming production, "Intimate Apparel" at Hall Auditorium on Thursday, Feb. 11; Friday, Feb. 12; and Saturday, Feb. 13. The play was written by Lynn Nottage and has won five national awards for best play. It is set in 1905 and tells the story of an African American seamstress who sews very fancy and sexy undergarments for the upper, wealthy ladies on 5th Ave. and also for the 'under' prostitute ladies of the streets. It is a play about self-discovery, about race and class in America, and about desire and hope for the future. Performance times are at 8:00 each night. Tickets are $8.00 for general public and $6.00 for Seniors.

And while you are setting up your schedule for the rest of February, just want to let you know that there will be a performance on Tuesday, February 23 at 7:30 P.M. by Ladysmith Black Mambazo. And this concert is FREE at Finney Chapel! This South African singing group has performed around the world in lively a cappella harmony. You may remember them from Paul Simon's album, "Graceland." They have sold more than seven million copies of more than 40 albums and have won three Grammy awards. Since it is a Tuesday night why not take a day off on Wed. and stay here at Hallauer House. We have rooms for Tuesday night but alas, no rooms for Valentine weekend for the "Intimate Apparel" performance. A special deal of $99.00 for the Union or Confederate Room is being offered for the Tuesday night performace of Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Just mention this Blog post!

And be sure to check out our 'new, revised' website! Let us know what you think!

A WEEKEND OF FUN COMING UP!

So, are you experiencing cabin fever yet? Need to get out and do something different? If the answer is YES, then take a peek at what you will find going on in Oberlin and Wellington this weekend - February 5th, 6th, and 7th.

First stop is at Main Street Wellington at 118 W. Herrick Ave. to buy your $10.00 chocolate ticket. Then visit some of the 30 participating businesses and offices that are taking part and receive your 'CHOCOLATE' surprise.

Oberlin is host to the FREEZING ARTS FEST which takes place from 11:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M.! Here there will be master ice sculptors creating works of art in the downtown area in front of Ben Franklin's (13 W. College St.) and at the Gingko Gallery (19 S. Main St) there will be snowflake making. During the fest there will be an ice cube toss, ice bowling, and other ice games taking place on W. College St. Hot chocolate and cookies will be available at Herrick's Jewelry for a donation and cabbage and noodles can be purchased at Watson Hardware.

Reminders for Oberlin College Prospective Students

Just some reminders to high school seniors who have been accepted to and have decided to attend Oberlin College in the fall of 2009. Oberlin Freshman Orientation is scheduled to begin with dorm move-in on Aug. 25 -http://new.oberlin.edu/calendar/ and
Parent's Weekend is scheduled for Nov. 6 -8, 2009. We strongly advise you to make reservations NOW if you want to be close to campus as all B & B's and the Oberlin Inn fill up very quickly. Here at Hallauer House, we are already booked for those dates but we will take back ups as cancellations in the past have occurred. It is always wise to build a relationship with a B & B so that you will have a place to call your 'home away from home' while you child is at Oberlin College. and it also helps when commencement time draws near. And stay tuned for information on April's "All Roads Lead To Oberlin" program. We'll post information when it is available and give you the link to the College web page.

If you are coming for "All Roads" in April we do have dates open, as most students don't know if they have been accepted yet. So get those reservations in as soon as you get that important letter in the mail!!!! Hope to see you in April or sometime during your Freshman year! Congratulations early!

Something To do In January!

January is now half over with temps around 0 degrees and snow about a foot deep but that means spring is just that much closer!

But if you are experiencing cabin fever, then you might consider a trip to Oberlin to hear and meet an Oberlin College allumus who is an author, actor, playwright, Pulitzer Prize finalist, nominee for 2 Tony awards, star of six solo off Broadway shows, novelist, film actor, and one of the stars of Law and Order - Criminal Intent. This energetc and talented performer, who plays Captain Danny Ross on LOCT, is Mr. Eric Bogosian.
He will be in Oberlin on Wednesday, February 4, as part of the 2009 Oberlin Convocation Series. His performance will be held at Finney Chapel at 8:00 P.M. and admission is free. Since you will need to drive home late, you might want to consider staying at Hallauer House B & B and start out for home the next day. Now I know this performace is mid-week and getting a day off from work might be difficult, but a vacation day in February might be just the break you need to get you through the rest of the winter!

If you have a couple of days vacation time coming, then you might consider staying over so you can attend the performace of Mr. Bogosian's play, subUrbia. It will be performed by Oberlin students on Jan. 30, 31 and Feb. 3, 5, 6, and 7th. The play, a caustic portrait of contemporary suburban life, follows a group of young people in their early twenties as they spend the night in a mini-mall parking lot. The play will be performed at Hall Auditorium at 8 P.M. with ticket prices set at $8.00 or $6.00 for seniors 55+.

So think about it! Check back through the Blog for the January/February special and then give us a call to book your February get away. You know you want to! And you won't be disappointed!

An Opera at Oberlin

Do you enjoy college theatrical productions? Do you like Shakespear? Do you like opera? Are you craving some live entertainment for mid November? If you answered yes to any or all of the above, then we invite you to come to Oberlin and take in the Oberlin College production of A Midsummer Nights Dream which opens on Wednesday, Nov. 14 and runs through Sunday, Nov. 18. The play, of course, was written by William Shakespeare as a comedy of errors about falling in and out of love with the wrong people because of meddling and trickery. Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears adapted the play in 1960 as a magnificent opera production that will be sung in English on the Oberlin stage. The opera, with music provided by the Oberlin Chamber Orchestra and local children performing as fairies in the magical woods, is in three acts with two intermissions.

Performances are at Hall Auditoruim at 8 PM on Wednesday, Nov. 14, and Friday and Saturday, Nov. 16 and 17. Sunday's performance is at 2 PM, Nov. 18. All seats are reserved with ticket prices $3.00 more at the door. Early tickets can be purchased by calling the Cenral Ticket Service at 440-774-8169 or 800-371-0178 or visiting the box office in Hall Auditorium between 12 and 5 PM, Monday-Friday. Early general public tickets are $12.00 and $8.00 for Seniors. For complete details go to the Oberlin College website - http://www.oberlin.edu/newserv/07oct/midsummernight.html

So if you decide to come and be a part of this great production, why not come and spend the weekend at Hallauer House B & B. Take in some of the other sites of Oberlin, do a little early Christmas shopping at some of our really super, local, downtown stores and enjoy lunch and dinner at our fantastic local restaurants. We'll cover your breakfast needs here at Hallauer House with one or more of our famous and fabulous gourmet breakfasts.

So give it some thought and then give us a call. You know you want too! See you soon!
