AN EVENING OF SONG

more information about this concert:

Allan Roth is a Suzuki piano teacher living in Bexley and a member and former officer of CEOMTA. Allan also sings bass in The Sherwoods of Cornell, a men’s a cappella singing group from Cornell University comprised of Cornell alumni from the classes of 1958 to 1974. This group, containing many of the original founding members, will continue over 50 years of delighting audiences when they present An Evening of Song-The best in traditional and contemporary college a cappella in Columbus at and for the benefit of the Jewish Community Center on Saturday, April 16, 2011, in the Roth-Resler Auditorium at 7:30 PM. Appearing with the Sherwoods will be Philomel, the vocal chamber ensemble from the Capital University Conservatory of Music. Philomel, which translated means Nightingale, lives up to its namesake. They sing a little bit of everything, specializing in the broad range of repertoire that distinguishes vocal music at Capital. Their performances include music from the Renaissance period to contemporary jazz and popular music styles. 

The Sherwood repertoire includes beautiful ballads, rousing spirituals, original close-harmony arrangements, show tunes, pop covers, and spirited Cornell songs well seasoned with humor. The Sherwoods were founded at Cornell in 1956 as a triple quartet. They performed extensively on campus and in the east, and traveled the world to perform on USO and numerous other tours.  Starting in 1983, alumni from that group, which disbanded in 1974, have been performing at the annual Cornell reunions and also in the Bahamas and all over the country, from Palm Springs, San Luis Obispo and Cambria, California to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Vero Beach, Florida; Columbus, Ohio; and Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, to name just a few of  the group’s performance venues. The best selections from their seven LP records have been remastered and collected on two CDs. 

Tickets are $10 ($5 for students, seniors over 60, and JCC members) at the door or by calling The Jewish Center at 614-559-6276 or 614-231-2731. The Jewish Center address is 1125 College Avenue, Columbus, OH 43209.
