Arlington Residents Featured in "A Night of Stars" December 4th

The Skating Club of Boston will celebrate the grand opening of their brand new, best-in-class skating facility in Norwood, MA on Saturday, December 4th at 6:00 pm with a star-studded skating exhibition event, "A Night of Stars," in the Tenley E. Albright Performance Center.

Arlington natives Jun-Hong Chen, Aislinn Munch and Emma Young will all be featured in the event.

Aislinn Munck and Jun-Hong Chen are members of Forte of Boston. Forte of Boston is The Skating Club of Boston’s senior Theatre On Ice team. Forte is a combination of former professional show skaters as well as national and international competitors. The team’s diverse roster of performers sets a new standard for the Theatre On Ice discipline as it combines singles, pairs, dance, and synchronized figure skating in one competitive ensemble. They are the 2019 National Theatre On Ice Champions, the 2019 Nations’ Cup silver medalists, and the 2018 National Theatre On Ice silver medalists.

Emma Young is a member of the Team Excel Collegiate Team. The two-time U.S. Synchronized Skating Medalists team is composed of full-time students who wish to pursue a competitive skating career at one of the premier figure skating clubs in the country while pursuing their undergraduate or graduate degrees. Over the past five years, team members have hailed from 15 states and attended 40 colleges and universities across New England.

This special event will be the first full-capacity ticketed skating show in Boston since 2019 and will be the largest gathering of figure skating Olympians and U.S. champions outside the Olympics itself. The event will be hosted by Olympian Scott Hamilton, with proceeds benefiting the CARES Foundation, Mass General Brigham, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Other performances include Olympic, US Champions, and international competitors including Maia Nagasu, Ashley Wagner, Max Aaron, Marissa Castelli, and Simon Shnapir. A complete list of skaters performing at the event can be found at https://scboston.org/grandopening/.
