About 40 people attended a free sneak preview screening of the upcoming TV event from PBS, "Country Music," in Fabiani Theatre.
PBS39 and Trine University hosted the event.
A film by Ken Burns, "Country Music" is an eight-part, 16-hour documentary series that explores the history of a uniquely American art form.
The documentary, written by Dayton Duncan, who also wrote the illustrated companion book, chronicles the highs and lows of country music’s early days, from southern Appalachia’s songs of struggle, heartbreak and faith to the rollicking Western swing of Texas, California’s honky-tonks and Nashville’s “Grand Ole Opry.” The film follows the evolution of country music over the course of the 20th century as it eventually emerges to become “America’s music.”
PBS39, Fort Wayne, will air "Country Music" beginning Sunday, Sept. 15, at 8 p.m. on channel 39.1.
Trine University Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students and faculty presented research at the American Physical Therapy Association’s largest national conference, the Combined Sections Meeting, held in Anaheim, California, Feb. 12-14.
A Trine University administrator and a graduating senior are included in this year’s Greater Fort Wayne Business Weekly Forty Under 40.
Nearly 400 in attendance at Trine University’s Scholarship Gala heard about being the best as they helped support Trine students in becoming their best.
