“Christmas is arriving early at Bucks County Community College,” said Peter Chiovarou, Director of Community Programming and College Events. “We’re thrilled to welcome Bucks County’s own pianist Eric Mintel and the internationally acclaimed vocalist Jane Monheit to the Zlock Performing Arts Center this month, bringing their unforgettable holiday performances to our stage.”
The Eric Mintel Quartet kicks off the festivities with “A Charlie Brown Christmas” at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 11. This nostalgic performance brings the beloved soundtrack of your youth to life, capturing the magic of the season.
Jazz legend Dave Brubeck said, “As long as music attracts dedicated young musicians like Eric Mintel, jazz will continue to thrive and progress as a voice of freedom!”
