On Saturday, April 1, 2023, 7:30 p.m., the University of Montana is staging the 23rd annual Odyssey of Our Stars, a time-honored annual celebration of the arts and media at. This fast-paced performance will feature students and faculty from across the College of the Arts and Media (CAM), while recognizing the career of an outstanding alumnus. This year’s performance is in Montana Theatre in the PARTV Center on the University of Montana campus.

This year, CAM will honor UM alumnus Curt Olds (1994, Bachelors of Vocal Performance), critically acclaimed opera and musical theatre performer. Originally from Butte, Curt has performed on the stages of Broadway, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and internationally. Taking a short break from stage performances, Olds is coming to the UM campus a week early to conduct master classes and work with CAM’s performing arts students. Their collaborative work will be part of the performance. More biographic details are online: Odyssey of Our Stars website.

Support of Odyssey of Our Stars keeps the arts and media thriving in Montana. Thanks to donations from alumni, local business and others, this past year alone we awarded close to $700,000 in need- and merit-based scholarships across our four schools.
