BRATTLEBORO — Rock Voices Brattleboro, the area's only community rock chorus, and director Bob Thies invite people to join them for an evening of choral music “like you've never heard it before,” says Thies. The concert will take place at the Brattleboro Union High School, 131 Fairground Road, on Friday, April 21, at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Backed by a professional rock band, the choir will deliver the harmonies of songs by Janis Joplin, the Four Seasons, Justin Timberlake, the Indigo Girls, the Eagles, and Hall and Oates, among others.
There will be a special tribute to the late David Crosby and Christine McVie. A donation jar will be set up to benefit Senior Solutions, an agency whose mission is to promote the well-being and dignity of older adults in our community.
Rock Voices represents “the best of southern Vermont and the greater Pioneer Valley: a sense of community, a love of music, and a desire to share their joy and talents with others. But be warned,” say organizers, “once you listen to this lively choir in person, you might find yourself signing up to join them next time around.”
The Brattleboro group rehearses at the Vermont Jazz Center on Monday nights from 7 to 9 p.m. They will be starting their summer season on May 15. Those interested may enroll at rockvoices.com.
Admission prices for the concert are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors, and $8 for students. Children 12 and under are admitted free of charge. Tickets will be available at the door or online at EventBrite.com.
