04/09/2018

Do you remember the Golden Age of Television?  Are you a fan of MeTV?  Does the music of film and television stir vivid memories of happy times in your mind?

Well, you’re in luck!  On Tuesday, April 24 and Wednesday, April 25, the William Penn University Jazz Ensemble and William Penn Singers are taking a trip back in time. Theme songs, commercial jingles, and other sounds from classic television will be featured in concert. Included in the performance will be favorite themes like “Hawaii Five-O”,  “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson”, “Family Guy”, “Get Smart”, “Sanford and Son”, “The Pink Panther”,  “Shaft”, and more. Music from commercials for BMW, Delta Airlines, State Farm, and even Chips Ahoy will be part of the mix.

Music Professor, Scott Cressley said, “The jazz ensemble and choir have had a great time preparing this nostalgic program which we are sure the audience will thoroughly enjoy!”. The show begins each evening at 7:00 PM in the Musco Technology Center on the Oskaloosa campus of William Penn University.  Admission is free and open to the public.
