ALTOONA, Pa. — Penn State Altoona’s Ivyside Pride choral group will offer its spring performance, “Sunrise Over Broadway,” at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday, April 18 and 19, in the Wolf Kuhn Theatre of the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts. Both performances are free and open to the public.
The concert features selections from Ola Gjeilo’s “Sunrise Mass,” which the choir performed with the Masterworks Festival Chorus and New York City Chamber Orchestra in New York’s iconic Carnegie Hall in March 2024. Musical theatre selections inspired by the sentiments of the “Sunrise Mass” also will be featured.
Ivyside Pride is directed by Bonnie Cutsforth-Huber, professor of music at Penn State Altoona. The group has performed both nationally and internationally, including at Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, Strasbourg Cathedral and St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna, Austria.
