Rocking with the GLCO Pops Featuring Rockapella

Based in New York City, Rockapella has become one of the world’s most sophisticated, lasting, and imitated vocal groups around today. They’ve toured the globe, made guest appearances on Today Show, TV specials with Whoopi Goldberg, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and provided a funky powerful soundtrack to several generations of vocal music fans, while keeping it fresh all along the way. The current line-up features Scott Leonard (High Tenor), Jeff Thacher (Vocal Percussionist), Calvin Jones (Tenor), Bryant Vance (Bass), and José Rodriguez (Tenor).

The Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra will accompany Rockapella on fun and familiar songs like ‘Here Comes the Sun’, ‘Dance with Me’, ‘Rock the Boat’, and ‘The Beat Goes On’, selections sure to appeal to a broad age range and perfect for a summer family outing together. The orchestra will also be performing ‘Danzon No. 2’ by Arturo Marquez and ‘Huapango’ by José Pablo Moncayo. GLCO music director Libor Ondras is thrilled to bring Rockapella to Northern Michigan and says, “You’re in for a real treat.”
