The East Stroudsburg University (ESU)* of PA Department of Music presented its Community Holiday String Fest on Thursday December 4th in ESU* in The Cecilia S. Cohen Recital Hall located in the Campus’ Fine and Performing Arts Center featuring the University/Community String Orchestra as directed by Prof. Betsy Buzelli-Clark*. The program also featured The String Students of Christopher Souza. The sizable audience were treated to a variety of holiday tunes both modern and classical. The appearance of the children who are studying the violin with Christopher Souza added a charm to the evening as their eager discover of what their instruments can do touch every heart. This included an impressive solo performance by Moriah Crawford.
Among those who lent their talents to the entertaining evening were Lauren Noyes*, Breanna Goldner*, 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 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. You’ll find numerous photographs at The Forwardian Arts Society ESU String Fest Gallery at myspace.com/forwardian_arts.
