2010 SPRING CONCERTS
April 9 and 11
Director: Rebecca Rottsolk
"American Voices"


MESSAGE FROM REBECCA:

Our Spring Concert, "American Voices," will feature a wide range of distinctly American songs and composers from throughout our history. From the Quaker hymn How Can I Keep From Singing to a Stephen Foster Medley; from the classic American songs Shenandoah, The Water is Wide and Old Dan Tucker to a medley of Spirituals, His Light Still Shines, with narration arranged by Moses Hogan in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr,; from pop classics by Berlin and Gershwin to Shaker songs arranged by Aaron Copland and Alice Parker; this program includes some of our country’s most memorable songs and celebrates our heritage through a broad spectrum of American voices.

I think this is an awesome program for Community Chorus. Tell the singers they will love it – and they will enjoy the rehearsals because of all the variety inherent in the selections and because I’m very enthused about this and about working with them. There are songs that are heartfelt, funny, romantic, charming, rowdy, sparkling, serious, meaningful - altogether just plain good quality entertainment.
