On Saturday, March 28, Performance Music at The University of Scranton will present a concert featuring the University\u2019s Concert Choir and Symphonic Band. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Houlihan-McLean Center, Mulberry Street and Jefferson Avenue, downtown Scranton. Admission is free and the concert is open to the public, with seating on a first-come, first-seated basis.<\/p>\n
According to conductors Cheryl Y. Boga and Janelle Decker, the concert will feature a short program by each group, as well as three or four pieces by the combined groups.<\/p>\n
\u201cUsually the two groups only perform together at our Commencements, so it is unusual and special for our Houlihan-McLean audience to have the opportunity to hear them combine forces,” Decker said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are looking forward to having the groups perform together in our own concert hall, a decidedly more intimate venue acoustically than the Commencement arena they usually team up in,” Boga added.<\/p>\n
The University of Scranton Concert Choir and Symphonic Band are 50- and 70-plus member groups, respectively, comprised of members of the University community. Their majors and departments span the curriculum. The vast majority of them are undergraduate students, joined by a few graduate students and members of the faculty and staff, none of whom are music majors. They are all brought together by their mutual love of music-making and sharing their love of music with their audiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Saturday, March 28, Performance Music at The University of Scranton will present a concert featuring the University\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142760,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[65280,12219,22592,178,180,179,65281,274],"class_list":["post-142759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-concert-choir","tag-performance-music","tag-performing-arts","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news","tag-symphonic-band","tag-the-university-of-scranton"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
