Nova Singers will kick off their 26th Season with their second "Out of the Ordinary Concert: Nova Singers and Friends," on Sunday, June 12 at 6:30 p.m. at First Lutheran Church, 1600-20th Street, Rock Island, Illinois. Current members and alumni of Nova Singers will perform everything from classical to blues, from sacred songs to Broadway hits.
Audience members will enjoy hearing jazz tunes such as "When October Goes" and "How About You?". Many of the Nova Singers are church musicians and will offer handbell solos such as "Praise to the Lord, the Almighty", an organ solo, "Rondo", by Bull, and a vocal duet, "Be Still My Soul/ What a Friend We Have in Jesus." A Nova family will present Broadway tunes such as "Anything You Can Do" and "Dites Moi". For the Gilbert and Sullivan fans, you'll hear "Love, Unrequited, Robs Me of My Rest". A string quartet will play a variety of pieces throughout the concert. All together, the Nova Singers, led by artistic director Laura Lane, will be performing some music from their recently recorded Christmas CD. And, for all the WVIK enthusiasts, there will be stories from Car Talk and Rock Island Lines.
This special event is a fund-raiser that will support the Nova Singers' 26th Season. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors, and students are free. Tickets will be available at the door.
