Over the centuries, artists have flocked to Paris, France.<\/p>\n

The famed City of Lights, birthplace of ballet and cinema, has welcomed such luminaries as the Polish composer Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chopin, the Spanish painter Pablo Picasso, French actress Bridgette Bardot and American writer Ernest Hemingway.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, there will be several colorful collaborations, and audiences will hear some traditional French carols, sung in different languages,\u201d Dr. Korre Foster, associate professor of music, said.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s formal holiday dinner will feature music professor Lisa Wolynec\u2019s flute students performing a ballet piece while dance students pirouette their way through a choregraphed ballet by dance professor Marcus Hayes. The University Choir will sing holiday melodies, accompanied by French horn professor Kristen Sienkiewicz, and art professor McLean Fahnestock will project silent videos of early 20th century Paris.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll also enjoy a French-inspired formal dinner, with a soup, entr\u00e9e, salad, cheese and dessert,\u201d Foster said.<\/p>\n

The menu, which honors France\u2019s culinary heritage, includes four entr\u00e9e options \u2013 Boeuf Bourguignon (beef cooked in Beachaven wine), Coq Au Vin (chicken cooked in Beachaven wine), Ratatouille (vegetarian) and Halibut in a lemon aioli sauce.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the black tie optional dinner are $75.00.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis successful fundraiser has allowed for the creation of the endowment for choral activities,\u201d Foster said. \u201cWe officially endowed that scholarship this fall, and we are continuing to raise money for more scholarships.\u201d<\/p>\n
