The New Horizons Senior Glee Club brings their vocal talents to Neumann University for the Cultural Arts Forum on Thursday, October 9, at 1:30 p.m.
The glory days of theater palaces such as the Roxy, the Apollo, Paramount and Radio City Music hall echo with the performances that electrified screaming fans for decades. The New Horizons Senior Glee Club pays tribute to these “cathedrals of entertainment” with songs made famous by Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Sophie Tucker, and many more.
More than just a community choir, the award-winning New Horizons Senior Glee Club boasts more than 40 singers, a 5-piece band, dancers, costumes and a professional MC. As a traveling troupe, this spirited ensemble of all volunteer singers and musicians has brought joyful entertainment to the Delaware Valley for more than 25 years. Under the direction of Selma Savitz, the club has performed concerts at senior residences, nursing homes, clubs,and community venues about 30 times per year.
Founded by Dr. Margaret Mary Kearny, a former broadcast personality and friend of Neumann University, the Cultural Arts Forum hosts six lectures each year, an annual high tea, and a fashion show to foster cultural programming and enrich the educational experiences of Neumann University and the community at large. Proceeds from these events benefit the Dr. Margaret Mary Kearny Scholarship, which assists non-traditional students.
General admission is $8. The program is free for Cultural Arts Forum members and Neumann University students with ID. Performance will be held in the Fred P. Meagher Theatre in the Thomas A. Bruder, Jr. Life Center. For more information please call 610-558-5626.
