Mon, 03/08/2010
An entire century of music presented in 55 minutes.
That's the promise as KidSounds, YouthSounds and TeenSounds Northwest present their annual spring concert March 19 at 7 p.m. in the Highline Performing Arts Center, 401 S. 152nd St.
Tickets are $10 to $15 with youth 17 and under admitted free with a paid adult ticket. Tickets are available from www.nwassociatedarts.org or 206-246-6040.
Following an original opener by Greg Gilpin, the concert will take the audience on a decade-by-decade celebration of popular music. Paula Hawkins directs the groups.
"You're A Grand Old Flag," "Give My Regards to Broadway," "Rock Around the Clock," "Fame" and "Good Vibrations" are among the songs to be performed.
Narration, dancing, and solos blend together with choral singing in this showcase of the budding talents of the youth choruses.
