Jason DePue returns to Bowling Green Friday to pay tribute to one of his first teachers who helped him navigate both the violin and the turbulence of life.
DePue will perform a recital of music for violin and piano Friday at 8 p.m. in the Bryan Recital Hall in the Moore Center for Musical Arts on the Bowling Green State University campus. Dr. Laura Melton, of the BGSU faculty, will be the pianist.
The recital, DePue said recently in a telephone interview , is intended as a tribute to Vasile Beluska. "I thought it would be nice to demonstrate my gratitude to him," he said.
DePue, the third of violin playing sons of composer Wallace DePue Sr,, started studying violin at 4 with his father's Bowling Green State University colleague Boris Brant.
In January 1986, when young DePue was 9, Brant died. Two weeks later his mother died in an auto accident.
DePue said this marks the end of the first chapter of his life. "Chapter two of my life started with Mr. Beluska," he said.

On Wednesday night South African musician Hugh Masekela had people dancing in the aisles of Kobacker Hall in a scene more like a late night at the Black Swamp Arts Festival than the university's Festival Series.
Masekela lives for this. He believes his job as a performer is to make people happy. He achieves that by playing pungent melodies on flugelhorn, by singing words and nonsense syllables in a pleasingly gruff and percussive voice, by rapping away at a cowbell eliciting a spectrum of sounds from the simple instrument, and by dancing with verve and energy impressive for anyone, never mind someone just a few hours away from turning 74.
Masekela had the audience, grey hairs and youngsters, echoing twisting African phrases that ended with high pitched whoops.
And then the hall was silent as Masekela spoke of those displaced by conflicts around the world - women, children, the disabled, the elderly - war's eternal victims.
The master entertainer is also a humanitarian.

Underlying the raucous guitars and thunderous noise of a heavy metal concert is a philosophical outlook and aesthetic that has long resonated with people around the world and continues to create new fans every day, particularly outside the U.S.
Often the object of scorn in the United States, heavy metal has gained the notice of scholars of popular culture, who are interested in both its popularity across cultures and the creative ways in which it is adapted.
The Department of Popular Culture will welcome a host of "metal studies" scholars to share their research and celebrate the musical culture's endurance at the Heavy Metal and Popular Culture International Conference, opens today and continues through Sunday. The organizers believe it to be the largest academic heavy metal conference in history.
