53rd Annual Noel Night Concert (Presented Virtually)
Saturday, 05 December, 2020
Performance Music at The University of Scranton will present its 53rd annual Noel Night, covid edition, on Saturday, Dec. 5 virtually via social media. The concert has served as the university’s Christmas gift to the community for more than half a century.
The premiere “watch party” will take place on the Performance Music facebook page, beginning with a band caroling prelude at 7:50 followed by the concert itself at 8:00 p.m. (unless Boga goofs up the technology - this year will be her 40th Noel Night so she’s no spring chicken!) https://www.facebook.com/PerformanceMusicatTheUniversityofScranton/
Following the premiere, the video will be available for re-streaming in its entirety on the Performance Music youtube channel throughout the Christmas season. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdCppnlhx1pWoHWrgyWsY7Q
The University’s Christmas gift to the community, Noel Night has become a beloved holiday tradition for many Scranton-area residents since its creation more than a half-century ago. Traditionally, it is a choral concert, but this year due to the pandemic and concerns about singing and playing woodwind and brass instruments indoors, the choir - who will perform a few pieces virtually - are delighted to welcome the help of the university’s String Orchestra & Percussion Ensemble, and the newly formed Beginner Strings, Beginner Percussion, and Steel Drum groups.
