Take a musical trip into the strange, mysterious and unexpected at Cleveland State Community College’s annual Halloween concert, Strange Journeys, on Friday, Oct. 30, 6:30 p.m. in the George R. Johnson Cultural Heritage Center Auditorium on the college’s Cleveland campus. 

This free, family-friendly event will feature Cleveland State students and faculty alongside local musicians for an evening of music inspired by unusual adventures, mysterious destinations and journeys into the unknown.

The audience can expect music from Into the Woods, The Lord of the Rings, Donnie Darko and other sounds of strange journeys, with performances ranging from the mysterious and haunting to the adventurous and unexpected.

Performers will include Cleveland State’s Vocal Rhapsody choral ensemble, Cleveland Jazz Works, faculty musicians and guest performers from the Cleveland area.

“We have so much fun with this concert every year,” said Associate Professor of Music, Matt Schaffner. “With this year’s ‘Strange Journeys’ theme, we get to take the audience somewhere unexpected through music, stories, and a little Halloween weirdness. It’s a fun, family-friendly event that celebrates the kid in all of us.”

Costumes are encouraged, and there will be trick-or-treating in the lobby after the concert.

The Halloween Concert is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Schaffner at (423) 473-2311 or matt.schaffner@cscctn.edu.
