The Stevens Choir will present a special concert on December 3, 2006 at 3pm at DeBaun Auditorium on 5th & Hudson Streets in Hoboken.

In Memoriam (see below) is dedicated to the victims of September 11th, 2001, in recognition of the tragedy’s fifth year anniversary this fall. The Choir has prepared a repertoire that includes segments of Mozart’s Requiem and the premiere of two original pieces written as responses to 9/11. One is by James Redcay, the Choir’s accompanist and a gifted composition student at New York University, and the other is by James Stepleton, a recognized composer teaching Music Appreciation at Stevens. In addition to the concert, there will be a special unveiling of Hoboken artist Raymond Smith’s 9/11-themed painting, Comfort and Hope, from 2-6pm in the front lobby. The painting and it’s development can be seen at www.raymondsmithart.com

Think the renovation is complete.. balloons are a good sign. Was by there yesterday (when they’re usually closed). Will have to do a taste test soon!

11/21/2006 Update:

They closed up shop temporarily for renovations a few weeks ago. It’s been two weeks, and it didn’t look like they were close to being finished. They obviously didn’t use the HATT (Hoboken Actual Time Translator… I think 411 will copyright that acronym). One to two weeks probably means a month. But hopefully they re-open soon. Was a big fan of their food (although there’ve been rumblings of quality declining as of late?)
