The event will begin at 4:30 p.m. with a silent auction, followed by a Outer Banks travel package raffle at 8 p.m. and performance by the WCU Catamountain Singers and Electric Soul “All Night Long” featuring Jolly. 

WCU music faculty members Bruce Frazier and Jon Henson are directing “All Night Long,” which will be a celebration of the “top-of-the-charts” songs made popular by pop artists such as Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Bruno Mars and Maroon Five, plus standards from Michael Buble, Aretha Franklin and Lionel Richie. 

Frazier said Jolly, coming in to perform as special guest artist, “is invigorating the music scene with her heartfelt lyricism, heavenly range and soulful folk-pop beats tinged in Americana.” Karyn Tomczak, a former Rockette and member of the School of Stage and Screen faculty, has choreographed a fast-paced and exciting program.

The silent auction is free, raffle tickets are $50 apiece or three for $125, with the “All Night Long” performance $15 for adults, $10 for WCU faculty/staff, $5 for students.
