Kaelyn Mostafa joined the a cappella group Hawkward on stage to perform at the Providence Performing Arts Center.
Mostafa is a Stratford resident and student at Roger Williams University.
The group performed at the PPAC’s annual Gala fund-raiser as the opening act for late-night television show host and stand-up comedian Jay Leno.
An avid fan of a cappella, Leno ultimately selected Hawkward as the special guest performers after conducting a search for a local group that began last fall. Five other collegiate, regional and semi-professional groups were considered for the opening role, but Hawkward emerged as the first choice early in the process.
