DUNMORE, Pa. \u2014 Keeping with their holiday tradition, Penn State Scranton\u2019s musical groups will be spreading holiday cheer and helping to kick off the holiday season with a special musical performance on campus.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Dec. 10, the campus\u2019 Chorale and Jazz Band will perform their annual on-campus holiday concert at noon in The View Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n
The concert will be preceded by another traditional event, the Holiday Breakfast sponsored by Student Services and Engagement, which will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., also in The View Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Music Director and Associate Teaching Professor of Music Sharon Ann Toman has been working with the Chorale and Jazz Band all semester and said this year\u2019s performance definitely will be another crowd pleaser.<\/p>\n
The Penn State Scranton Chorale will perform a number of both holiday and contemporary classics, including “It\u2019s Beginning to Look Like Christmas,” “The Bells of Christmas” and “Fun, Fun, Fun,” as well as a solo performance of “O Holy Night” by Elizabeth Erickson.<\/p>\n
The Campus Jazz Band will then take the stage to perform an impressive set of seasonal and popular musical pieces, including “Feliz Navidad,” “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” “Don\u2019t Stop Believin\u2019” and “Old Time Rock and Roll.”<\/p>\n
\u201cThese students may not be music majors, but the level of talent and passion in their performances is impressive. It gives me so much joy to see the students enjoying their music and performance, as well as seeing the audience get into the holiday spirit,\u201d Toman said. \u201cThe holidays and its traditions are all about music and the sharing of music, and our students and I get so much joy from sharing our music with the campus community.\u201d<\/p>\n
