New holiday concert hoped to become annual tradition at the
university, dean says
MURFREESBORO — MTSU Arts will feature the “Joys of the Season” on Dec. 3, a
showcase of music, art, theater and dance that the College of Liberal Arts
hopes will become a holiday tradition.
Dean Mark Byrnes
said the new concert “will allow us to showcase the many wonderful talents of
our students and faculty and offer yet another entertainment option for our
community.”
WGNS Radio
personality Bart Walker, also an MTSU alumnus, will serve as the concert’s
master of ceremonies, Byrnes said.
“This night will
be a ‘can't miss’ for children and families from all across the region,” Byrnes
said. “We are proud to offer such a diverse and entertaining show.”
The concert is
set for 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 3, at MTSU’s Tucker Theatre. Tickets will be $10
for general admission; $5 for seniors (55 and older) and K-12 students; and
free to MTSU students with valid ID cards.
Advance tickets
can be purchased online at www.mtsuarts.com or the day of the show at the Tucker Theatre
box office.
Justin Durham, Department of Theatre and Dance production manager
and the show’s producer, said “Joys of the Season” will include a wide variety
of genres, including choral music, solo performances, dance and storytelling.
Byrnes hopes the
event will become an annual tradition at the university, which is “pleased to be able to offer yet another
entertainment option for our community,” he said.
Proceeds
from the concert will benefit MTSU Arts, which was founded by the College of
Liberal Arts in 2011 to support public performances and exhibits by the
Department of Art, Department of Theatre and Dance and the School of Music. MTSU
Arts performances are sponsored by Ascend Federal Credit Union.
