Fine Arts Area Professor Timothy Martin has had an extremely busy 2014.

He began the year with a featured role in the film 2047: Sights of Death (starring Rutger Hauer, Danny Glover, Daryl Hannah, Stephen Baldwin and Michael Madsen) closely followed by performances in The Best of Musical, produced by the Teatro Nazionale di Milano.

He then worked on another film, this time with Paola Cortellesi, called Scusate se esisto! and directed by Riccardo Milani. His role as Program Director of The American University of Rome Summer Vocal Institute brought a successful inaugural edition in June, featuring world-renowned Opera singer Marilyn Horne as guest artist. Prof. Martin then moved on to the Teatro Comunale di Bologna for a leading role in the musical Ragtime, followed closely by a leading role in an episode of the popular Italian TV series Rex, directed by the Manetti Bros.

A series of concerts as Artistic Director of the Amazing Grace Gospel Choir followed, most recently for the US Embassy to the Holy See at the Palazzo della Cancelleria, and preparations are underway for the choir’s next performance, a benefit concert for Doctors Without Borders at Teatro Ambra Jovinelli, as a fundraising effort for the fight against Ebola. The choir will perform alongside the children’s choir Italo-Africanto, also directed by Prof. Martin.

After the concert, he’s off to Germany for a tour of American musical theatre with Die Nacht der Musicals and is back once again in Italy at the end of January for rehearsals for the theatre production of Driving Miss Daisy, reprising the role for which Morgan Freeman won an Oscar.

On Thursday 27th November the AUR Fine Arts program held an exhibition of the work completed by students during this past semester. The variety of style and subject matter combined with the personalities of the artists themselves resulted in a vibrant, professional show that was enjoyed by students and faculty alike. The turn-out of visitors was four times that of previous end of semester exhibitions and the comments and positive feedback exceeded the students’ expectations. The combination of drawing, painting and printmaking work created a harmonious yet dynamic atmosphere in the art studio.

The American University of Rome proudly presents the Fine Arts Exhibition “DUENDE”, which will be held from 12:30 until 17:00 in the AUR Art Studio, 1st Floor Building B on Thursday April 24.

We hope you can celebrate with us the end of another successful semester!

Refreshments will be provided.
