When you enter the overly-decorated malls or browse through the aisle of gaudy colored lights in CVS, you will notice a familiar sound all around you. It’s that time of year again. The moment you put down your Thanksgiving Day fork the Christmas jingles are sure to get stuck in your head.
This year, instead of just listening to Adam Sandler’s “Hannukah Song” or the Chipmunks’ Christmas album, Fairfield’s Glee Club will be once again offering a live alternative. “Joyful Noise,” the Glee Club’s annual holiday concert, is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 3 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 4 at 2 p.m. at the Quick Center.
“The Christmas concert is always a great show,” said John Primavera ’05, president of the Fairfield University Glee Club. “It is a combination of great choral music and Christmas favorites.”
The Fairfield University community is excited about the show.
“This will be the eighth Christmas concert I attend,” said Deirdre Eller, director of new student programs. “I cry at every concert. I think all of the students are so talented.”
The Glee Club has been extensively rehearsing for the show.
“We have been preparing a lot, and both the men’s and women’s groups have prepared something both naughty and nice,” said Caitlin Wagner ’06.
For more information or to purchase tickets for the concerts, please call the Quick Center box office at (203) 245-4010. Tickets prices are $6 for students and $10 for adults.
