The singer-songwriter and Indiana native has etched a space in pop music that examines the hardships of anxiety\, doubt and insecurity in a way that doesn’t brood or self-deprecate. Instead\, it filters his perspective through a lens of positivity\, connecting with a legion of fans who identify with his brand of optimism and authenticity in the face of everyday struggles. \n\n\n\nFans have witnessed firsthand how French has blossomed from a young upstart posting John Mayer covers to Soundcloud into an artist who isn’t afraid to speak his mind while concurrently developing his voice. With small waves of momentum and reaching larger audiences with his covers\, he secured opening slots on tour with Chelsea Cutler and Quinn XCII. \n\n\n\nAfter a string of hit singles like “head first” and “By Myself” and a pair of EPs\, French continues to embody a more confident sound that straddles pop and rock without losing the introspective clarity of its predecessor.  \n\n\n\nMusic for French is less about industry acclaim than it is about being understood by the fans that have followed him down this path. “I feel a lot of my crowd is of the young age where we’re trying to decide what to do with our lives and I know that’s a huge decision that weighs super heavily\,” he says. “I just want to help people feel more at peace\, understand that good things do take time\, and you don’t have to have everything figured out.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPRESENTED BY\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWITH SUPPORT FROM URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/christian-french/ LOCATION:Loeb Playhouse\, 128 Memorial Mall\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Music,Student Concert Committee ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/french1920x1080.png ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.42508;-86.912651 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Loeb Playhouse 128 Memorial Mall West Lafayette IN 47907 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=128 Memorial Mall:geo:-86.912651,40.42508 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20221016T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20221016T190000 DTSTAMP:20260515T010347 CREATED:20220707T233000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230425T011924Z UID:10000370-1665946800-1665946800@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:The Book of Mormon DESCRIPTION:The Book of Mormon announces lottery ticket policy\n\n\n\nA limited number of tickets will be available at $25 each.

Is it where you grew up? The place that contributed most to who you’ve become? Perhaps it’s a dynamic concept most strongly defined by deep emotions. The latest production from Silkroad captures this impressionistic reflection in Home Within. Syrian clarinetist Kinan Azmeh and Syrian-Armenian visual artist Kevork Mourad created this audiovisual meditation on loss\, longing and the tragedy of Syrian conflict that has claimed over a half-million lives. With the Silkroad Ensemble (founded by Yo-Yo Ma to foster cross-cultural exchanges)\, Azmeh and Mourad expanded Home Within to include cello\, percussion\, voice and oud—their music melding together as animation augments Mourad’s real-time image-making. The result is a work both haunted by history and buoyed by the hope that those who still seek their home will soon discover it. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHome Within artists\n\n\n\n\nKinan Azmeh\n\n\n\nKevork Mourad\n\n\n\nLayale Chaker\n\n\n\nShawn Conley\n\n\n\nKaren Ouzounian\n\n\n\nIssam Rafea\n\n\n\nShane Shanahan\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInterview with the artist\n\n\n\nWatch the discussion with Kinan Azmeh and Kevork Mourad. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Watch Video\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSUPPORT FROM URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/silkroad-presents-home-within/ LOCATION:Loeb Playhouse\, 128 Memorial Mall\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Chamber Music,Ideas,Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/400x425-13.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.42508;-86.912651 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Loeb Playhouse 128 Memorial Mall West Lafayette IN 47907 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=128 Memorial Mall:geo:-86.912651,40.42508 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220407T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220407T193000 DTSTAMP:20260515T010348 CREATED:20211008T010026Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260420T231059Z UID:10000352-1649359800-1649359800@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Waitress DESCRIPTION:Shrek The Musical\n\n\n\n\n\nTony®-nominated smash-hit musical featuring original music and lyrics by Grammy®-nominated singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n ABOUT Shrek The Musical\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet Jenna\, a waitress and expert pie-maker who channels her dreams of escaping a small-town life and rocky marriage into such desserts as “The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie” or the “Betrayed By My Eggs Pie.” After entering a baking contest and enjoying a run-in with someone new\, Jenna discovers change is on the menu … if she can create her own recipe for happiness.

In Ohrwurm (German for “earworm”)\, Debus examines how melodies from every era of recorder repertoire transcend place\, form and time. Affording an up-close and intimate experience\, this exclusive salon engagement is perfectly suited both to the exquisitely detailed sonic world of the recorder and its accompaniment—in this case\, the lute\, as performed by Paul Morton. Debus has earned awards and accolades across four continents\, including the Concert Artists Guild International Competition in 2019. When not on stage or in the studio\, she still educates audiences and schoolchildren about the recorder’s history\, which dates back to the 15th century but expanded in size\, sound and possibility in the 20th century. Letting early melodies play alongside contemporary works\, Ohrwurm will take you on a journey that fills your ears—and soul—with music to remember. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNeat\, unforced\, beautifully articulated – The Times \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Know Before You Go\n \n \n\n\n\n \n Manage Tickets\n \n\n\n\n\n \n Directions & Parking\n \n\n\n\n\n \n Program\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n Generous support from\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADDITIONAL SUPPORT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConvos is Self-Supporting.Your Ticket Purchases and Generous GiftsPower it All! \n\n\n\n \n Learn More\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSUPPORT FROM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInterview with the artist\n\n\n\nWatch the 5 part discussion with Tabea Debus. \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Watch Video\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Enhance your experience\n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n BUILD YOUR OWN SEASON \n PICK5 + Save \n Did you know that if you buy 5 shows or more (not 5 tickets)\, you save an average of 10% off single-ticket prices?

Does that sound eerily current or quaintly historic? Or is it simply that the themes of Shakespeare’s classic “Scottish Play” remain eminently applicable after 400-plus years? Palace intrigue and shocking betrayals are nothing new. However\, the highly regarded Aquila Theatre will make the relevance surprisingly fresh with their creative vision of this classic. Having toured nationwide for decades\, Aquila continues to earn recognition\, as famed producer and playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda recently invited them to celebrate the National Endowment for the Arts in the U.S. Capitol. This electrifying rendition of Macbeth is keenly aware that a certain sound and fury persists. \n\n\n\nThis performance is part of a collaboration with the Cornerstone Integrated Liberal Arts Curriculum to present a two-production residency with Aquila Theatre Company—featuring The Great Gatsby and Macbeth.

Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby remains a vivid account of how\, in the absence of true equality\, pursuing the “American dream” can lead to devastating effects. Jay Gatsby\, a working-class war veteran\, reinvents himself as a self-made millionaire to become the man he believes his one-time love\, wealthy heiress Daisy Buchanan\, would want. Their rekindled affair triggers a domino effect of destruction\, in which obsession masquerades as love and the wealthy wield prejudice as a weapon. Known for its powerful immersion in classic texts\, Aquila Theatre brings a soberingly relevant reimagination of Fitzgerald’s classic in which Gatsby is a man of color\, setting the stage for themes of class\, racism and discrimination to play vividly inside the meaning of the American dream. \n\n\n\nThis performance is part of a collaboration with the Cornerstone Integrated Liberal Arts Curriculum to This performance is part of a collaboration with the Cornerstone Integrated Liberal Arts Curriculum to present a two-production residency with Aquila Theatre Company—featuring The Great Gatsby and Macbeth.

Her fresh\, upbeat live performances transform songs about butterfly migration and feeling grateful for your family into dance-in-your-seat fun.
