Naugatuck Valley Community College Music Department Presented Fall 2021 Coffeehouse Showcase
The Fall 2021 Music Department Coffeehouse Showcase led by chorale director and Professor of Music, Gil Harel, Ph.D. opened in the Leever Atrium of the Fine Arts Center on the Waterbury campus of NVCC and by virtual streaming through the Music Department’s YouTube Channel.  https://bit.ly/35h1dvB 

Professor Harel enthusiastically commented, “It felt great to be ‘back in the saddle’ with a live audience once again. The students did a terrific job. They are driven and showed great fortitude. That they are talented is icing on the cake! I also doff my cap to the DAT and Theater Tech personnel who helped us with audio and visual. Streaming live to a home audience has been a tremendous silver lining we developed during the pandemic era.”
