Book now for BG Singers’ 21st annual show
The Buffalo Grove Park District’s BG Singers will perform their 21st annual choral concert as they present “Coast to Coast” at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8, and Saturday, Nov. 9, and 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10, at the Stevenson High School West Auditorium, One Stevenson Drive in Lincolnshire.
Directed by Linda Rosen and choreographed by Charla Silver, Coast to Coast will feature an eclectic mix of musical styles from across the country, including Broadway’s best, Motown sounds, blues, pop, disco, the Great American Songbook, folk rock, and a patriotic medley.
“America has given birth to so many wonderful varieties of music,” said Rosen. “This year the BG Singers will celebrate these diverse styles with music from Sondheim, James Taylor, Michael Jackson, George Gershwin and much more. We have something for everyone.”
“We also like to highlight the young talent in our community whenever possible,” Rosen added.
This year one of Rosen’s former students, Kristin Cardella, will join the Singers to solo in the Billy Gilman hit “One Voice,” while another former student, Matt Pospeshil, will be featured in two numbers with his dance partner, Rachel Jacob.
Every year, the BG Singers focus on different ways to give back to the community through their performances, often through the sale of song sponsorships. This year, the fundraiser will be Book Now, which offers individuals or groups the opportunity to sponsor a song by donating new or gently used books. The books will then be distributed to Books4Cause at Books4Cause.com.
For more information about song sponsorship or Books4Cause, contact song sponsorship chairperson Lori Lapping at (847) 634.8971.
Tickets for all performances are available at bigdealproductions.org. Advance ticket prices are $17 for adults and $16 for children 12 and younger and seniors 62 and older. All tickets purchased at the door are $19.
