The ESU Winter Choral

The East Stroudsburg University (ESU)* of PA Department of Music presented its Winter Choral Concert on Wednesday December 3rd in ESU* in the Cecilia S. Cohen Recital Hall located in the Campus’ Fine and Performing Arts Center featuring the A Cappella Ensemble and their Concert Choir as directed by Prof. James Maroney. The program consisted of numerous classical works along with some seasonal pieces which delighted the large audience who attended. In addition to this, an impromptu concert was given by one of the students in the audience.

Among those who lent their voices to the entertaining evening were Arline M. Smeltz*, Jessica Bickel*, Brian Foley*, Michelle DiBella*, Dr. Otis French*, Christopher Palardy*, and many more. The sizable audience were filled with many good friends and it would be impossible to name them all without neglecting some. However, I invite you to make yourself known and to share your reflections of the evening by commenting on this article. I know many who read this would love to learn of your experiences through your words.

The next programs to be presented at ESU* will be their Community Holiday Spring Fest on Thursday December 4th at 7pm, their Winter Band Concert on Sunday December 7th at 7pm, and their Student Voice recitals on Tuesday December 9th at 7 and 8:30pm all in the Cecilia S. Cohen Recital Hall. Please contact ESU* at 570-422-3483 for more information.
