Program

The health and safety of our ringers and audience members is our priority. While things are beginning to re-open, the Duke Energy Center and the State of North Carolina's policies limit seating to be up to 50% of capacity with physical distancing enforced with limited seating. With so many factors, including the need to physically distance between ringers, our board has decided to cancel our in-person Spring Concert.

Instead, we will present a live virtual concert on Sunday, June 6. We'll be sharing with you some of our favorite Rock 'n Roll arrangements from throughout the years. Mark your calendar to join us for this FREE event!

This concert is a unique one, we're doing ONLY our rock and roll songs. (people have been asking for this kind of thing live, but I've never wanted to dedicate an entire concert to this - but easier to do virtually!).

The song list is the following:

1. Hotel California / The Eagles
2. More Than a Feeling / Boston
3. Stairway to Heaven / Led Zeppelin
4. Dust in the Wind / Kansas
5. Old Time Rock n Roll / Bob Seger
6. Don't Fear the Reaper / Blue Oyster Cult
7. Livin' on a Prayer / Bon Jovi
8. Freebird / Lynyrd Skynyrd
9. British Rock Tribute (created for our tour of the UK, a medley of
several Rock songs from British Rock groups)

Like we did at Christmas, we'll do live introductions of the songs, and some of those intros will be done by 5 of the folks that have arranged the rock songs for us:

Keith Burt

Marcia Murphy

Andrew Metz

Paul McKlveen
