With the semester coming to an end and winter break coming up, everyone is trying to get into the holiday spirit, along with preparing for finals week. Although this may be a stressful time of year, there is a perfect way to relax before taking those exams: attending A Rockapella Christmas.
The Rockefeller Arts Center’s Christmas show will be the perfect cure for those finals blues on Dec. 10.
Rockapella burst into the scene in the early ‘90s. Judging solely by the name, it sounds like all on-campus a capella groups would be involved in this, but Rockapella is actually its own group in and of itself.
The group was started in New York City in 1986. As the name states, the group does a capella versions of popular pop and rock songs. They have become a very big success in Japan, but they are also well known in the United States. They famously performed the PBS kids geography game show, “Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?”
In King Concert Hall, Rockapella will be performing Christmas hits, including “Have Yourself a Merry Christmas” and “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.”
This performance will be of high volume and tickets are on-sale online or through the Fredonia Ticket Office, starting at $22.
