Westminster College Celebrity Series Presents Holiday Show

Posted on Thursday, November 11, 2004

The Westminster College Celebrity Series features a holiday show with the Youngstown Symphony Orchestra and the John Pizzarelli Trio Friday, Dec. 3, at 8 p.m. in the newly-refurbished Orr Auditorium.

 "What a wonderful way to start the holiday season.  This holiday program brings back two old favorites of the Celebrity Series audience," said Gene DeCaprio, director of the Westminster College Celebrity Series.  "John Pizzarelli and his trio wowed our audience several years ago.  He is hailed by the critics for his brilliant guitar work and smooth vocals, in the Sinatra tradition."

 "Nothing is more beautiful than Christmas music played by a symphony orchestra," DeCaprio continued.  "The Youngstown Symphony under the direction of Isaiah Jackson is making its fifth appearance here, a testament to their popularity and appeal."

Westminster's Orr Auditorium has been recently remodeled to include air conditioning, stage elevator, new carpeting, and re-upholstered seats, along with stage lighting and shell improvements.

A limited amount of seating is still available.  For tickets, contact Judy Behm, acting box office assistant of the Westminster College Celebrity Series, at (724) 946-7354 or e-mail behmj@westminster.edu.
