Faculty & Staff: The annual Pennsylvania Collegiate Choral Festival will be held at ESU on Thursday, Feb. 13 thru Saturday, Feb. 15. We are urgently looking for those who can help in hosting the 80+ attending student singers from other Pennsylvania colleges during the Festival. Responsibilities as host are pretty simple and not time consuming – the students would require lodging after 9 p.m. Thursday and Friday nights, Feb. 13 and 14, as well as breakfast the following morning. They would need to be brought back to ESU by 8:45 AM on Friday and Saturday.

You may host just one student, or as many as you can – all efforts are appreciated!

The PA Collegiate Choral Festival is held at a different Pennsylvania college each year, providing students the opportunity to rehearse with a renowned guest conductor, culminating in an impressive concert performance on Saturday afternoon. Each hosting college relies on the generosity of its community members to make this wonderful opportunity affordable to the students. For more information contact Dr. James Maroney, director of Choral & Vocal Activities, Dept. of
Music at 570-422-3258 or jmaroney@esu.edu.
