58th ANNUAL NOEL NIGHT - The University of Scranton Singers, String Orchestra, and Chamber Ensembles with guest harpist Marg Davis and pianist Ron Stabi

scranton.edu/music Admission: FREE (prelude from 7:05, doors open at 7) The University’s Christmas gift to the community, Noel Night, has been a beloved holiday tradition for Scranton-area residents and the University community since its beginnings more than a half-century ago when it was founded by Rev. Edward Gannon, S.J. This year’s Noel Night will feature The University of Scranton Singers and Chamber Ensembles and will include a prelude by The University of Scranton String Orchestra and Flute Ensemble. Seating is on a first come- first seated basis. Harpist Margaret Davis is a multi-genre harpist based in Houston, Texas. As a classical player, she regularly performs with professional orchestras such as the Houston, Kansas City, and St. Louis Symphonies, as well as in solo, choral, and chamber music performances throughout North America, and collaborated with jazz guitarist and vocalist Vilray on his debut single, “Even in the Evening.” Davis graduated with a Bachelor of Harp degree from The Juilliard School and earned her Master of Music degree from Yale School of Music. Pianist Ron Stabinsky is probably best known nationally as a member of the notorious band “Mostly Other People Do The Killing,” the reunited rock band “Meat Puppets,” Relache Ensemble, and of course, The Peter Evans Ensemble. A classical solo and orchestral pianist, a straight-ahead jazz musician, occasionally a rock musician, and an accomplished free improviser, he enjoys making music in stylistically diverse situations throughout the United States and Europe with a wide variety of musicians and ensembles.
