Alegría is a guitar and lute duo formed in 2007 by Lawrence Pitzer, a longtime teacher of
classical guitar and lute in the Springfield, Ohio area and Leslie Arendt, a “once in a lifetime”
student of his. The Spanish word “Alegría” translates as joy, which describes what the two
performers feel while making music, and hopes to share with their audience.
Lawrence Pitzer has been the classical guitar teacher at Wittenberg University since 1970,
he started the guitar department at Wright State University in 1972 (between 1972 and 1985),
and currently also teaches at Cedarville University. He has studied guitar with Miguel
Abloniz, Loris Chobanian, and Jeffery Van, and studied lute with Paul O’Dette and Ronn
Macfarlane. Besides being a member of Alegría Mr. Pitzer also performs with “Wind in the
Woods” an early music ensemble in the Dayton, Ohio area.
Leslie Arendt is a home school graduate and has studied guitar and lute with Mr. Pitzer since
2003. Leslie is also an accomplished harpist and plays in the Springfield area regularly.
She designs and reproduces period clothing when not practicing her many instruments.
Saturday, October 25, 2008 we had a fun filled day

professional grade, hypoallergenic face paints.
Become a tiger, a butterfly, a superhero or just a
more amazing you!
Kirigami: a variation of origami where the artist
is allowed to make small cuts in the paper (from
Japanese kiru= to cut, kami= paper). Local artist
Sara Kelley will be instructing
Poi: a form of juggling or object manipulation ball
and a length of string or rope. The poi balls are
swung in circular patterns, comparable to
club-twirling.
Hula Hoop Dancing: local dance troupe The
Hypnotic Hips will instruct children how to
manipulate the Hula Hoop in 5 new exciting
tricks.



The Wright State University Lake Campus Junior Scholars program recently hosted their second session of the year at New
Bremen High School’s James F. Dicke Auditorium. Students were entertained by Wright State University’s Chamber Choir,
conducted by Dr. Hank Dahlman. The group performed popular and upbeat songs for the young crowd who treated each
performance piece to cheers and loud applauses. The Chamber Choir consists of Wright State students, most of them non-
music majors, but talented singers who enjoy performing. Dahlman stressed to the students that music is a great way to get
involved in collegiate activities.
The following schools brought a total of 125 students to the event: Antwerp, Houston, Marion Local, Minster, New Bremen, New
Knoxville, Parkway, St. Henry, St. Marys and Waynesfield-Goshen.
