Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra to Perform Christmas Wassail Concerts on
December 22 and 23

Two-night schedule includes video tribute to the troops and custom-arranged
score

 

Conductor Stephen A. Eva and the Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra announce
that, in response to patron demand, they will be performing two shows of
their Christmas Wassail Concert that has become an annual, popular Chagrin
Valley tradition. The concerts, scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday,
December 22 and Thursday, December 23, will be performed at Chagrin Valley
Little Theatre, 40 River Street, Chagrin Falls.  

 

The Christmas Wassail Concerts are family-friendly and presented in the
spirit of traditional holiday caroling. As the 45-piece Studio Orchestra
performs, the audience is encouraged to "wassail" along to beloved Christmas
carols including Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire, Silver Bells, Frosty
the Snowman, We Need a Little Christmas, and Jingle Bells. Children in
particular will delight in a special visit from Santa Claus during the
concerts. 

 

In celebration of our troops, many of whom cannot be home for the holidays,
the concerts will include a video tribute honoring their service and
containing special greetings from the soldiers to their families who reside
in the Chagrin area. Bill Corcoran, renowned music arranger, has scribed a
custom-arranged version of I'll Be Home for Christmas that will be played by
the Studio Orchestra as the video tribute is shared with audiences.

 

A featured performance by renowned opera star Scott Skiba will include
Caccini's Ave Maria and a studio arrangement of O Holy Night. Talented local
singers Debby Young, Ryann Angelotti, Bridget Davis, and Laura Hengle will
lend vocals to other popular holiday fare. 

 

"We are thrilled that our Christmas Concert is so popular that we can now
fill the theatre for two high-energy performances," notes Studio Orchestra
conductor Stephen Eva. "And, it is our honor and pleasure to bring messages
from the troops to their families during the holidays."

Studio Orchestra and Chagrin Valley Little Theater and sponsored by Hamlet
