The City Harmonic, a Canadian band from Hamilton, Ontario, will perform at Providence University College on Friday, September 2, as part of the school’s Welcome Week festivities. The free concert will begin at 7:30 p.m.
“We’ve always had a Welcome Week in some guise, but we’ve never gone big like this before,” says Jerrad Peters, the college’s Creative Content Specialist. “In addition to The City Harmonic, we’ll have games and activities such as bubble soccer, big kerplunk, big battleship, a photo booth, and a dunk tank. We really want students to be excited about coming here.”
The City Harmonic has written three albums and won a Juno under Contemporary Christian and Gospel Album of the Year for their album I Have a Dream. They’ve also won nine GMA Covenant Awards. Their sound is big and their shows feature impressive light shows.
“As far as Canadian contemporary Christian music goes, they’re about as big as it gets,” says Peters, “so we’re delighted they’ll be celebrating Welcome Week with us.”
The event will be held in the gymnasium and is expected to have a very big turnout. Peters says it will be a great opportunity to bring high school students to see the campus and everything it has to offer.
