\"\"Clarksville, TN<\/strong> – A holiday show titled \u201cSilent Night\u201d might conjure up images of a dignified and serious performance, but a new concert by that name coming to Austin Peay State University next month promises to be a more casual, pop-infused holiday experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cSilent Night \u2013 An Evening of Holiday Music,\u201d which begins at 7:30pm on December 3rd in the Music\/Mass Communication Concert Hall, will showcase a band featuring Allison Campbell and David Alford on vocals, Paul Carrol Binkley on guitar, Tony Nagy on bass, Matt DeVore on drums and David Steinquest, APSU professor of music, on percussion. The performance will also include special guests Stanley Yates, professor of music, on guitar, Desiree Dolan on vocals and the APSU Percussion Ensemble.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted it to be a little more like a pop concert than a serious concert,\u201d Steinquest said. \u201cThat way it\u2019s complimentary to other holiday events that are being presented. It gives people a different option.\u201d<\/p>\n

The concert will feature an eclectic mix of Christmas standards in new arrangements \u2013 such as \u201cSilent Night,\u201d \u201cHark the Herald Angels Sing\u201d and \u201cIt Came Upon a Midnight Clear\u201d \u2013 and some less well-known tunes deserving more attention, including \u201cIn the Bleak Midwinter,\u201d \u201cLittle Road to Bethlehem\u201d and \u201cDecember.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe music we\u2019re doing is more pop-like than some of what we\u2019ve done before,\u201d Steinquest said. \u201cI\u2019ve looked at influences like Amy Grant and Kenny G, who has some really nice Christmas albums. Shawn Colvin, a pop music vocalist, has got such a different take on Christmas. Her music is still very accessible and popular.\u201d<\/p>\n

Works by popular Christian artists such as Erin O\u2019Donnell and Rosie Thomas will also be performed during the night.
\nThe stage in the concert hall will be decorated like a living room with couches and a Christmas tree, giving the evening a casual, intimate atmosphere. The band will begin the night with a performance of the classic \u201cSilent Night.\u201d The show will end with a Rosie Thomas rendition of that song, which retains the original words but plays with the music.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe text is the same,\u201d Steinquest said. \u201cYou\u2019re completely familiar with the words being sung, but what you\u2019re given is a whole other melody.\u201d<\/p>\n

Admission to \u201cSilent Night \u2013 An Evening of Holiday Music\u201d is two cans of food, donated to Loaves & Fishes, or $3.00. Tickets go on sale December 1st in the APSU music office.
