Valentine's Day - Love in Any Language

VALENTINE’S DAY with food, wine and song - will update with menu items as they are finalized


A romantic evening of food, wine and song await you on the perfect day – February 14. Alfred University’s Chamber Singers will put love on stage for you on Valentine’s Day. Listen, eat and drink in tender love songs while supporting some of AU’s finest vocalists.

The Allegany Arts Association is working in tandem with the Alfred University Chamber Singers to present this special evening. It will start at 7 p.m. with a cash bar serving wine, beer and soft drinks on the second floor of Howell Hall. Take your reserved seats at 7:45 and the Chamber Singers will deliver an array of hors d’oeuvres to your table to enjoy as the Chamber Singers croon their way through many languages. Before the finale, there will be sumptuous desserts with tea and coffee.

In addition to singing as a group, Chamber Singers will accept special requests and sing a song just for your special someone. Chamber Singers have quite the sense of humor so there’s no predicting just what will happen. Fluttering eyelashes? A song sung on bended knee? You may see a tie twirled here or a hand kissed there. While love is free, songs require a $5 donation.

The Chamber Singers perform under the direction of Dr. Luanne Crosby and the group is raising funds for a 2010 international concert tour and the fundraising of the Allegany Arts Association leads to free art workshops for children throughout Allegany County. But, the real goal is warm entertainment and fine food in the intimate and romantic Howell Hall on Valentine’s Day.
