The conference will take place Sunday, March 16 to Tuesday, March 18 at the Cohen Center, Rooms 213 and 214. The conference is free and open to the public. FGCU Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Ron Toll will welcome guests, and the Honorary Consul for Hungary to Southwest Florida, Dr. Stephen Gergatz, will provide the official opening. “The importance of this international conference has never been greater than it is now, due in large part, because genocide continues to this very day,” said Dr. Toll. “It is my hope that historical review of past examples of mass genocide will remind us and educate us with regard to worldwide vigilance for the present and into the future.” “The Holocaust in Hungary, 70 Years On: New Perspectives” features 49 scholars from a variety of disciplines and countries to explore key issues and recent research relating to the Holocaust in Hungary – a time in which more than 500,000 Jews were murdered in eight months. “The primary purpose of the conference is to educate students and members of the public to an area that has not had the full recognition it deserves in Holocaust memory,” said Dr. Paul Bartrop, Director of the Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Genocide Studies.

Bower School of Music and the Arts Presents FGCU Symphony Orchestra Feb. 27 in First Concert of the Year
The Bower School of Music and the Arts presents the FGCU Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of David C. Cole, in its first concert of 2014 on Thursday, Feb. 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the U. Tobe Recital Hall in the Music Building on the FGCU Campus. The concert, Great Cities of Music: Prague, features three orchestral works by composers associated with the city of Prague, and all three pieces were given their initial performances in the Czech capital. The program opens with the Meditation on the Old Czech Chorale “St. Wenceslas,” Op. 35a by Joseph Suk. This romantic work for string orchestra weaves a lush texture of string sound around variations upon one of the oldest pieces of Czech music, the ancient hymn ‘St. Wenceslas.’ The Czech Suite by Suk’s father-in-law, Antonín Dvořák, is a suite of characteristic Bohemian dances, including a polka, a sousedská (a folk-like minuet) and it closes with a lively furiant. The concert concludes with the majestic and sparkling Symphony No. 38 in D major, K. 504 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, known as the Prague Symphony. The concert is free and open to the public. Doors open at 7 p.m. For more information, contact Dr. Cole at (239) 590-1490. -FGCU- FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Center for Environmental and Sustainability Education at Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) celebrates its 10th anniversary and hosts its 2014 Rachel Carson Distinguished Lecture at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 21 at BIG ARTS on Sanibel Island.
