Brescia University hosts a spring concert on Friday, May 3 in Taylor Lecture Hall.

The concert begins at 7 p.m. and will feature performances by the Brescia Band, Student Choir and the Handbell Choir. There will also be several solo performances.

This event is free and open to the public.

The Brescia University Spanish and Theatre Programs will hold a dramatic reading of Cinco de Mayo, a play by Carlos Manuel on Sunday, April 7 at 4 pm in the Campus Center Study Pavilion.

The play invites us to reflect on the need for young adults who celebrate the Cinco de Mayo festival in the U. S. to make responsible decisions when drinking alcohol. Brescia University students and Owensboro Hispanic/Latino community members will perform the dramatic reading of this humorous play presented in Spanish.

This event is free and open to the public.

The entertainment for the 2013 Big O Music Fest has been set.  The event will include emerging superstar Jake Owen, along with Justin Moore, Love and Theft, Colt Ford, regional favorite Locash Cowboys, and more.

More than 10,000 fans turned out for last year's event.

“We wanted to get back to our roots for 2013, and pack our lineup with hot, and current, acts. We are very excited to bring such a powerhouse lineup to Owensboro. From the very first note played, everyone will be on their feet. This lineup will certainly get the crowd going,“ said promoter Steve Terry.

The date for The Big O Music Fest is August 31. The event will be held at Reid’s Orchard on Hwy 144 in Owensboro.  The gates open at noon, and the music kicks off at 1:00.
