Edison Foundation Hosts 17th Annual Holiday Evening Event

2014 Holiday Evening Entertainment The Manhattan Transfer.

The 17th annual Holiday Evening event, to be held on Thursday, December 4, will feature The Manhattan Transfer, a highly regarded jazz–vocal group. This event directly supports Edison’s General Scholarship Fund, which provides financial assistance to traditional and non-traditional students in support of their academic pursuits.

Holiday Evening is the perfect way to kick-off the holidays and help support more than 3,900 students who attend classes at Edison annually. The evening’s festivities begin with hors de ‘oeuvres at 6:30 p.m., followed by a special performance from The Manhattan Transfer at 8 p.m., and concludes with desserts and coffee.

Few jazz–vocal groups have a more illustrious history than the Manhattan Transfer. Originally formed in 1972, their initial success came with their self-titled debut album, which featured their first top hit, “Operator”. Today, the group performs sold-out shows and has reached a whole new level of crowd-pleasing entertainment by drawing from musical styles such as swing, modern jazz, and doo-wop and transforming them into their own distinctive style.
