Published: January 25, 2017 | Author: Lola Taylor | Read Time: 3 minutes

The SUU Concert Choir, Luminosa Women’s Choir, Opus Chamber Choir, and the Phat Old Professors and Friends are joining forces for the 2nd Annual Rock and Roll Choir Show, featuring an evening of music from one of the greatest bands of all time: The Beatles. All You Need Is Love will be performed in the Heritage Center Theater on February 14, 2017 at 7:30 p.m.

This concert celebrates more than 50 years of magic with The Beatles. From the early British Invasion music to their later masterpieces, The Beatles defined the sound of a generation and continue to be enormously influential.  SUU Director of Choral Activities and Music Technology, Dr. Steven Meredith, said that he began planning this concert over a year ago. “When I became the choir director here at SUU, one of the first things that I wanted to establish was an annual 'Rock and Roll' show, because it was something new for our vocal groups. I was looking forward to this show, because the music of The Beatles is so meaningful to people from a wide range of ages and backgrounds.”

This year’s show, titled All You Need is Love, features some of the Beatles greatest hits, such as Here Comes the Sun, Yesterday, Hey Jude, Something in the Way She Moves, and Ticket to Ride. The show will feature the SUU Choirs, specialized video presentations outlining the history of the Beatles, and a guest appearance by the Phat Old Professors and Friends, a fan favorite from last year’s concert.

When asked about her participation in the show, SUU graduate student Corlissa Jensen said, “I love the opportunities that we have to sing a wide range of music and musical styles. As a person who looks forward to making a living as a singer, I realize how important this is because audiences are so diverse. And, of course, this music is so much fun to sing because everyone knows it so well."

Make this Valentine’s Day one you won’t forget. Bring that special someone and enjoy a fun-filled evening with incredible music and entertainment. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for alumni with card, and $5 for youth. SUU faculty, staff, and students can get in free with a valid ID card. Tickets may be purchased in advance at www.suu.edu/pva, on campus at the Centrum Ticket Office, or at the door the night of the event. This concert promises to be very popular, so get your tickets early.
