Our 50th Reunion - Live and on Campus!
After completing the virtual "Road to the Reunion" sprogram,, the combined 50th Reunion classes of '70, '71 and '72 celebrated our landmark reunion on campus June 3-5, 2022.. We saw each other in person for the the first time in years. It was a time to moourn, to find comfort,, to explore ways to act in support of our world, and finally to celebrate our lasting connections to each other and to Oberlin. Immediately following the end of Commencemnt, musicians from our combined classes and the greater Oberlin community performed the Mozart Requiem - the masterpiece that many in the reunion classes performed at the National Cathedral in Washington following the Kent State tragedy in 1970. Links to video and audio recordings of the performance, under the baton of Oberlin Director of Vocal Ensembles Dr. Gregory Ristow '01, are posted in the announcements below.
