Across the Pond: Songs from the British Isles

Maddox Theatre, Clark Arts Center
Director, Prof. Timm Adams
Join Rockford University’s Regent Singers, Vocal Collective, Pitch Please!, and other members of the Performing Arts department for a festive journey across the pond to the British Isles. In excited anticipation of our performance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this coming August, RU’s choirs present a celebration of music from England, Ireland, Wales, and of course, Scotland. From the bawdy to the sublime, these beloved songs include “Loch Lomond,” “Wearin’ of the Green,” “What Shall We do with a Drunken Sailor?” and more. Throw in some Beatles and other pop music icons, and you’re in store for a bloody good time! We will also be accepting donations at the door for our trip to Scotland for the Festival Fringe, where our students will be performing!
